    Just wanted to give the community a heads up!

    As I didn't know where to post this, I posted it here. I felt that the community should all be aware.

    Well community, it looks like we have more users trying to come up with more schemes to scam our passwords..

    Check this out:

    As I logged back into my account, I had a message in my inbox it was from the user lukase48, of course leecher, he had sent me a message. I opened it up and there I saw him asking this,
    Of course, I followed the link that was shortly stated afterwards, though, it did not take me long to find out that this was a phishing website, requiring me to re-enter my user name and password to log in. The scheme of this whole scam was placing a link embedded into a Sythe.org link using it as a "cover up mask" and having the website almost identical to the actual one, thankfully, I glanced at my URL box.

    I have provided images so that, hopefully, no user will fall to this and I hope none of the Recipients have.

    Image1: The Message

    Image2: The Phishing Website

    I am asking if a Moderator or Administrator can get a grasp on his IP and ban it.

    Regards-

    If you would have noticed, you were already signed in. If you are expected to resign in, when you haven't logged out, close that tab, and refresh your current sythe.org page. Also, always check for little flaws, like the address bar. ;)

    Thanks for the heads up.

    What i ALWAYS do before clicking any link, is hovering them and see if the site is real :) I don't really think about it, i just do it every time.

    Just trade with caution. In the community's eyes, you aren't trusted yet. Just use a middleman for your trades.
