    I just got this PM from "andyjames28" :

    However, the DP URL given points to http://digital-point.freeweb7.com/digital-point/index.html which is a phishing page. I almost got fooled and tried to login, but I saw the URL when I could'nt login and then immediately changed my password here.

    Seems that DP is undergoing major phishing attack. At the last count this is the second incident. First one is here. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=661152

    Be careful of PM's from "andyjames28" and "averytape"

    He made site with free hosting this time :( he can do this everytime

    & yes there's no use of banning his IP

    Lot of proxy sites available and making a new account doesnt take a account or so

    I request moderators to made this thread sticky or make a annoucement regarding this PHISING problem

    OK, This is like the 20th thread about this matter on DP. I suggest you post in another one that already exists. This URL has been reported to FreeWeb7 by a few DP members.

    Also, This is really the wrong place for this type of thing. Best place would be general chat or suggestions/feedback.

    But he'll create a new account, Someone will post about it and it'll be deleted... The phisher will get bored eventually.

    It is dead now, but I receive yet another phishing attempt, I think all for the time being be careful when clicking on any links on the PMs.

    If you're still interested in reporting, forums-digitalpoint.com is the URL. Not sure of the username at HostGator, but it's definately from their IP block.

    Anyone know a script?

    Write one that will bomb their login site with millions of fake signup attempts.
