    Don't click it!

    Seems like it's trying to steal your information.

    Report this PM immediately!

    Lol, he's trying to steal your account.

    In the bottom right of a PM there should be a Report button. ;)

    Bottom left of the PM is a little triangle just like on a post. Click on that. Please report this PM ASAP so one of us can have a look at it properly (regardless of what Brandon93s says). ;)

    Do you know who the PM was from exactly? (Maybe check your email)

    lol. No worries. It does look like a forum glitch has resulted in the url looking the way it did and nothing more sinister.

    To be on the safe side it is better that forum members report any PM's they receive which look as if they might be phishing. Unfortunately, from time to time people try phishing DP accounts (see sticky threads at the top of General Chat).

    The pm showed up that it was from this brandon93s who I had dealt with about a year ago. The pm looked like a notification for feedback that I received but it had a weird ip looklike url.

    We might as well not worry about it. I've already erased the pm.

    I see the weird URL, and I clicked it as well...
    I commented on the feedback you had left and that was an automated message that the system sent you.
