    Hi,
    I just received a spam PM from someone called VipStar2009
    It goes as follows



    but when you click on the link it takes you to another site

    http://xxx.t35.com/showthread.phpt=1270018.html

    which looks a lot like DP and prompts you to login

    I didn't know how to warn others so I posted it here

    Hope I do not piss off some mod with the links but I think it was necessary

    cheers

    Anyone clicking on the link should immediately change DP password as well as passwords on all accounts using same password as used on DP for phisher now has your userid and password.

    Never use same password on any two accounts. Always opt for a strong password, preferable involving muixture of letters, numbers, and characters. It is preferable of letters used do not involve a word found in dictionary.
