Huh?

It seems to me that you are suspicious of me and my business.

Why should I? You are mixing and mistaking stuff, it seems.

"I honestly don't even understand why you can follow accounts that have this feature disabled."

I put this through a translator app back and forth, and it seems to translate correctly.

"Onestamente non capisco nemmeno perché puoi seguire gli account in cui questa funzione è disabilitata."

Following is a mechanic better suited for other social media. That is what I was talking about.

"It seems to me that you are suspicious of me and my affairs" (I leave aside that you believe I don't know the English language and that I use only sophisticated translators, because it's not true, but I don't want to get nervous; if only I told you exactly how I make a post on itch.io the you wouldn't believe me; I take a break and I want to reiterate that: I only use Google Translator as a translator, to obtain checks on the bijection between the text I wrote first in Italian and then in English, in such a way that, given the not excellent quality of this translator, with a final automatic check of my text, I allow at least the read of a unique information content, in the way most clearest and correct, for English, American and Italian people, by clicking on 'translate' of Google Chrome):

Do you misinterpret my frequent updates to my site as illicit activity? I think that if you have yhe possibility to prove it with reliable evidence of my guilt, adding them to this public post and not close it.

"I honestly don't even understand why you can follow accounts where this feature is disabled.":

and I don't understand if you mean that I illegally access other users' accounts or I don't understand which disabled function you have done reference.

"I didn't understand the meaning of an alternative social network that you referred to":

I'm glad you answered me, but you asked me very challenging questions that took me about 2 hours of my time to answer. No offense, but I have a lot of other things to do. Now I'm tired, and I'm going to sleep.

Let's hope the last "prophecy" of the great Bill Gates does not come true and that they do not remove from commerce, in addition to compiled programming languages, also all ultra-commercial languages such as Java and Javascript, introducing artificial intelligences everywhere without controls with hands with a microphone, a speaker and and a radiotelephone cable for transmissions, because it could be very dangerous and would make any device only capable of acting as an android. Is this just a sarcastic joke from me? Maybe yes and I don't even understand the newspaper articles in Italy very well.

This seems to be a language problem. It seems to have started here:

You.

I'll also add you to the people I follow.

Me.

Following is for people that publish stuff. I do not publish stuff.

You.

Look, you misunderstood. I do not pass my information on to others. I'm not a hacker. I am against all information theft

Maybe try different translator pages. Whatever comes up on DuckDuckGo or Bing maybe. Just enter translator. If Google made you think I accused you of being a hacker, other misunderstandings are bound to happen eventually. You can also put the output of one translator in the input of the other and translate back and forth to see, if it sounds funny or changes meaning.

To reiterate my statement: "Following" is only useful if the followed account publishes things. I do not publish.

I am indifferent to your business. It does not concern me. I play games. You make accountant software. We have no common connections besides posting in a public forum.

I get it, I misinterpreted a google email, but rest assured, I think you might be a moderator; I too am against any theft of information and I never thought that you were involved in the Google message.

They only gave information on the safety and reliability of websites on the Internet, warning that they will close down counterfeit ones. They also want sites to be transparent and understandable.

In reference to my account I am proceeding with this thing.

But itch.io is ultra-secure, in my opinion.

I am not sure what you are trying to say. Maybe a translation issues again. Did you get a captcha maybe? There are no "google messages" of any kind involved with the interactions on itch. Also, moderators on itch have that blue badge next to their username.

But itch.io is ultra-secure, in my opinion.

It is not. Accounts get hacked all the time. And malware gets uploaded all the time. Itch is a honey pot for malware spreaders.

I didn't receive any captcha, but only an email message from Google on my smartphone. It was a generic message about the security of websites in general, precisely to avoid the existence of accounts with malware or those dealing with computer privacy. They don't accuse me, but they also gave mandatory guidelines for VAT, the purpose and characteristics of what you would like to sell.

And I intend to follow them, even if I'm a little late.

... and this has what exactly to do with Itch??

If you have business dealings with google, like selling on the playstore, they might send you stuff like this. Otherwise, this sounds like a phishing attack.

Also, to be technical, you did not receive it on your smartphone. You received it on your email account. If you received it "on your smartphone", I would be extra sceptical.

---

Or, translation issues again, did you per chance get an email from itch to your email adress, that just happens to be a gmail adress. If so, please do not confuse the sender of the mail with the isp that you use for email.

I understand. I don't sell on Play Store but I would like to sell on STEAM. I didn't read Google's message carefully, it seems authentic to me, but I have locked hacker attacks on my accounts in the past; Some time ago I had a computer stolen. Now the situation seems to be under control. I reported it to the police, but I don't know if they caught the thief.

Then I changed phone, changed number, but the email remained the same. I changed my password and activated 2-step verification.

Also, to be technical, you didn't get it on your smartphone. You received it on your email account. If you received it "on your smartphone", I would be very skeptical.

You're right, it's called email account. I was wrong.

Or, still translation issues, you accidentally received an email from Itch to your email address, which just happens to be a Gmail address. If so, don't confuse the sender of the email with the ISP you use for email.

Thank you. I'll check. Good evening.

There is translation errors.

"did you per chance get an email from itch" does not convey the same meaning as "you accidentally received an email from Itch" in the context I used it.

The chance involved was the chance of me guessing it right. Not the chance of you getting the email, and certainly not the implication of getting the email as an accident.

To be honest I do not know how much google is involved in the usage of itch, but I would find it surprising, if developers would be contacted by google directly for their itch activity. Itch does use some google analytics though.

While this might be too technical or complicated, anyone can try to check if a mail is non genuine by checking the header of the mail. You read the header from bottom to top and read the first few "from". There are IP adresses written. The first non local ip adress there should be the sender. And then you look up who owns that ip adress. Sometimes you can spot obvious scammers this way, especially from the big internet companies. Someone claiming to be such a big company would not send from an ip belonging to small servers in far away countries or ip adresses used by private home networks. In theory, those ip adresses could be faked, but I never have seen such a scam/spam. It is hard to fake ip adresses and most people do not know how to check for that anyways, so they just fake the sender and the content of the mail. Usually by invoking some urgency and prompting the recipient to click on links in the mail.

If there was no link in the mail for you to click, it probably was not a scam. But maybe it was a misunderstanding what this email was about.

Yes, I was wrong. Excuse me.

The possibility in question was the possibility of my guessing. Not the possibility of you receiving the email, and certainly not the implication of receiving the email in error.

To be honest, I don't know how much Google is involved in the use of itch, but I would find it surprising if developers were contacted directly by Google about their itch activity. However, Itch uses some data from Google Analytics.

Look, you're very smart, congratulations. I think you got it right.

There are written IP addresses. The first non-local IP address should be the sender. And then you look up who owns that IP address. It is sometimes possible to spot obvious scammers this way, especially from large Internet companies. Someone claiming to be such a large company would not send from an IP belonging to small servers in distant countries or IP addresses used by private home networks. In theory, those IP addresses could be spoofed, but I've never seen a scam/spam like this. It's difficult to spoof IP addresses, and most people don't know how to verify them anyway, so they simply spoof the sender and content of the mail. Usually invoking some urgency and asking the recipient to click on links in the email.

I think it's just like you said. I don't know much about telematics. I'll send you a screenshot of the message.

If there was no link in the email to click on, it probably wasn't a scam. But perhaps there was a misunderstanding about the topic of this email.
