    FIRST OF ALL, I DON'T HAVE THE EMAIL REGISTERED WITH DP WHERE I GOT THIS ONE.

    SECOND, NO PM AT ... PRIVATE.PHP EITHER

    OBVIOUSLY, SOMEBODY IS TRYNG HARD TO DISCREDIT DP

    MY USERNAME IS ALSO NOT THE ONE AS MENTIONED IN THAT MAIL.

    CAN SOMEBODY FROM THE MODS CHECK THAT.

    I think it needs to be reported and the site shut down after some mods or Shawn did some investigation from their side.

    It's a newly registered domain and maybe this is one of a massive islamist hacker campaign.

    watch out from people who offer free offers if you give them your email. Once i fell for a free domain and the same day I received a phishing email trying to get my paypal.

    We're well aware that there's a spammer on the loose creating multiple accounts to push this site. Please do not post about it and publicize the link for them. If you see PM spam, no need to post at all - forward it directly to a moderator so we can take care of the spammer please.
