I just got this PM in my inbox: QUOTE by a user called 'point_advanced', the message was CC'd to a lot of others to. When copy/pasting the link it does lead to a legit thread but upon clicking the link I was redirected to URL REMOVED where it asks me to enter my user/pass. I thought it was strange that it had a *.t35.com domain, and I was just wondering if I'm being overly cautious or it is indeed dodgy. I tested it and put in any old scribble and instead of giving me an invalid user/pass error it redirected me to www.locationlohan.com which is the proper site. Thanks.
Reason for edit: removing url

Just ignore this idiot, and make sure not to enter your password into that site. ll4ever disabled his pm, so nobody should be getting that message anymore.

Just wanted to point out that if any of you did go to the site and enter your information - Please change your password immediately. If you also could report it to a staff member that would be great, just so we know. Thanks |

This is the first time I've heard of somebody pulling a prank like this. And look at Mike, springing into action to save the day.

No, the prank only seems to have been to acquire passwords. You should be fine now.

Thank you. The changing of password was done more for your security.. wouldnt want some random person logging in here under your name and breaking the rules. |
