    I FOUND A PM from one user :

    " Hi, is this guy trusted : http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1003943 ? " ( HE NOT ONLY PM'D ME, BUT ALSO TO MANY OTHERS )


    DO not open try to add your username and password.

    A scammer, he will hack your account.

    I got this pm from : ZoooNhErz

    0 itrader and 0 post.

    When i clicked the link it asked for username and password.

    And the url above you can check after clicking the above link that , it is different from the url of dp.

    He will hack your account and use it as for wrong way to scam people.

    HE IS A HACKER.

    plEASE BEWARE.

    thanks

    My account was put in the moderation que for changing my email address :)

    The account was just reactivated earlier today (Thank God!) so I think I have to wait 7 days to get back to normal :)

    Thanks though for the concern!

    Appreciate your concern for the rest of the members, but please do not cross post, you already post it at another forum.

    abusing those hacker will cause nothing, no effect on them , its only the better way to take some step against them so that they dont do this again.

    wow, that's a pretty realistic site. Probably the hardest one too tell that it's fake (besides the url).

    what ever,,,he was trying to hack the id first of all :D

    but i think many people will get aware now because this method of hacking account is getting spread very rapidly, only few weeks ago i saw a case like this here only on dp.

    So we should be aware now when ever any thing asks for a username and password after clicking any link.
