    ARGH, a member called hoangtu89 just pm'ed me asking if a thread was mine, linking to it. Well with me being tired and not knowing about all these phising pm's going around I didn't really give clicking it a second thought.

    What can the guy actually do if i clicked the link?

    I received a PM such as that before. Mostly it says "Is this your thread <DP invalid thread linking to other sites>?".

    LOL. This reminds of something. I clicked on a link and it went somewhere else back on the same website and it was supposed to be external link. I cant believe how dumb i was.

    Thank you for the tips. Rep ++
