    I've seen this happen before where someone sent me a PM but when you mouseovered it, it was some other site, not DP. I promptly deleted this PM as it sounded fishy.

    I love phishing sites... not in "that" way, but in the fact that I would love to see the creators faces when they see what details I've put in the boxes. :p

    Yeah, problem is that people get some sort of paypal email or a PM here stating they can win 1k, they get so excited, they don't use common sense. Slow down, and know that the enemy is always watching.

    Thanks for the heads-up McFox. I've been away for quite a while and probably would have become a victim of their trap :(

    I can not believe that people still fall for this type of stuff. However, they must or the scams would not keep going. Thanks again for letting us know it is going on still.

    Thanks for the info.

    Seems like it might be more widely seen posted elsewhere though, this is honestly the first time I have ever even peeked into this category.
