DP Under PHISHING ATTACK, Protect Your Passwords ~ !!!!!!

DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK THAT LOOKS LIKE A REAL DP THREAD BUT LEADS TO A DIFFERENT SITE!


Just got a PM from a new member. I can see that he is sending that PM to many members.

Do not fall for it. If you click the link it will take you to the page which has similar looks as DP login page.
DO not provide your login their.
Its a phishing attempt.


Got PM from this member.

 

thanks, but this has been posted in 2 other threads and the offending piece of shit has been banned.

 

I generally do not click on links but the action was taken quickly in this case. It is sad to see that thousands of ppl are using their brains in criminal activities. Wish they could put it to better use

 

I think that this is the right category to post in. Please accept my apologies if its not. I just got approached via PM from this chap:

Thought the mods should know.

 

yes me too got this PM, was trying to contact a MOD but could not find a link anywhere....is it so difficult to contact administrators here?

EDIT: The guy is banned....thanks

I got it too .. i just reported the member to Smyrl and he was Banned instantly

 

Hilarious...phishing to get a DP account. Only proves that this place is where the scammers exist. People complain about paypal but I have a feeling the percentage of fraud here is MUCH greater than even Ebay. Sometimes being a member here feels more like walking a minefield. Caution is required.

I decided I needed to see what this flake was doing, and went to what I thought was a digitalpoint log-in, and typed my log-in and password, than, seen it was redirected. I have changed my password here right after I realized it... I see he is banned.. Any way you could let others know to ignore him or delete all his PM's? Could be a heck of a mess if he starts logging in under different users...

Thanks

 

I'd be more afraid of him going out and starting stuff in forums. "Your site sucks, you dont know what your talking about, etc"... He could start some real ugly battles in the forums... I have no distribution list..

My question, if he was banned awhile back, and I was logged on here yesterday and read all my PM's, how did I get the PM today???

 

I just got this from pandaman1:

See that the link doesnt lead you to digitalpoint forums, but to some other site...

 

I received the same PM. He is banned now

 

Lol, I think I might run a bot on that fake DP site. By the look of it it uses SENDMAIL, So I could fill up his inbox with crap

 

DP might have to disable the bbcode url. It's how they are able to do this without being obvious.

 

WARNING THIS IS A SCAM.
THE LINK IS FORWARDING TO A FAKE DIGITALPOINT SITE!! BE CAREFUL!!
IT IS FORWARDING to FORUMS-DIGITALPOINT.COM

WATCH OUT PEOPLE!!
