    Code (markup):
    Do not click any links! The link he actually had hidden was, http://www.forums-digitalpoint.com

    I hope no one had actually logged in there.

    Edit,

    After some research here is the information about host and domain,

    Site is hosted @ http://domainsbyproxy.com/

    Domain is from namecheap

    I think if enough of us email the host and namecheap should be shut down pretty quick.

    yeah i got this too, i got this, it looks like a phishing scam. i guess shawn could ban the member, also i know there is a way to ban certain url's from the forum so that domain could be used, but this wouldn't stop cloaked domains or redirects and stuff. shawn is a top guy and he'll sort it out, he knows the score so dont sweat he'll sort it out no problem.

    just other members of DP have to be carefull they dont sign in @ that phishing domain, since they will be screwed over.

    Just sent PM to one of the Mod here and waiting for action from her.

    No need to go through given url in his PM (dadsworld) so be careful.

    DON.

    Yeah, Ok...

    Anyways, I am selling some accounts.

    If anyone is interested, they will not need to reveal their identify, just e-mail: and we can set up a deal.

    I already have offers and have sold some, so if you are interested, don't be a pussy, just e-mail me.

    *Anyone interested in spamming that e-mail can go ahead, I have a special script/forwarding system so your spam won't touch me ;)

    Unlucky for you I have trace routed to about 500 meters to your home location, and I know you thought you was smart bouncing through proxys but I own the proxy you used lol.

    I will forward all the evidence I have gatherd to your local authorites.

    Thanks

    I have a good idea who the kid is, the only person on DP whos actually truely scammed me lol. I over looked it and it was the right time he did it. But from that email I can't spit out enough evidence, too hard to explain.
