Fans of EA’s FIFA 14 are advised to be on the lookout for scams. Experts have spotted a shady website that advertises a coin generator for FIFA Ultimate Team.

According to ThreatTrack Security experts, the Ultimate Team coin hack tool is advertised with videos hosted on Vimeo and YouTube.

The videos are entitled “FIFA 14 Ultimate Team Coin Generator [2013 Hack]” and they lure users to a website where they’re asked to enter their email addresses in order to “connect.” Once they provide their email addresses, gamers are instructed to enter the amount of coins they want.

At this point, a survey is displayed, asking victims to complete it to get the coins.

This is just a scam and no coins will be generated no matter how many surveys you complete. The scammers, on the other hand, make some money each time someone takes the survey.

In addition, the email addresses they harvest can be used for other cyber schemes. Check out the gallery.
