    Reporting the phishers is fine but what does someone do when their account's been phished and can no longer login? :D

    Report to admins or something? Or are they totally screwed?

    Use people's reputation to pull off crooked trades.

    Some people probably use the same password for the Adsense accounts, too.

    I received this from hostgator abuse support:

    I can still see the site though. I think it might have something to do with caches not being cleared yet but I'm not very sure.

    I got a PM from asid_amin_o!
    It is as follows..

    But the DP thread is redirecting to http://digital-point.freeweb7.com/digital-point/index.html
    This page looks like DP login form.. This is to get the username and passwords of other DP members..
    The same PM is sent to (IdeaGod, ideas_man, ientrepreneur, iggysick, imci) - Recipients!


    Stop him!
    I don't know where to tell this.. So I posted this here!

    Lol.. he's using a free web hosting service.
    Simply complain that they have a Phishing page setup on their servers, and the site will disappear in a matter of a few hours ;)

    He probably hacked a few accounts and send PMs through the hacked accounts. The worst thing about this is that DP automatically send the message in your email, so it is almost impossible to find out for a user. I didn't get trapped because I saw the PM and know that I am logged in. Had I visited that site directly from my mail, I would've entered the details.
