    Spam in PM. Fake link with a redirect to a watch website. Will provide proof if asked.

    I have never thought there is another phising mail regarding DP. Anyway thanks for this valuable information if I have not read probably I would surely click it accidentally perhaps since I haven't no idea about it. Then for now I will be extra careful clicking links through pm and e-mail as well

    Phising is all over the place, not only at DP forum...

    Therefore, it's a wise move to prevent yourself from being the next victim of this horrible stuff.

    Thanks for the heads up. I did not know about "mousing over" a link. I will try to remember to do that.

    I have received plenty of such Private Messages with phishing links, but everyone is aware these days. Special thanks to Paypal they are the one creating this huge awareness against Phishing scams :) I think there are very few peoples who get into such scams rest know what it is .:)
