With the PC version of GTA 5 still unannounced by Rockstar, some scammers created a legit-looking file download for the supposed version, one which was obviously damaging to those who downloaded it.<\/p>\n

According to site metrics and seed ratios, the particular torrent of the fake GTA 5 PC game has been downloaded thousands of times. The file itself is 18GB and has an authentic-looking setup.exe file.<\/p>\n

The torrent itself is verified and has a high SEO ranking, popping up right at the top of Google\u2019s list when \u201cGTA V PC torrent\u201d is searched.<\/p>\n

Piracy in itself is bad, but trying to download something that hasn\u2019t even been announced is a shot in the dark at best.<\/p>\n

Rockstar still hasn\u2019t confirmed a PC version of GTA 5, but it\u2019s expected that a keyboard-and-mouse version of the open-world crime epic will emerge, and a new report suggests it will be within the first quarter of 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n
