    [Common Sense!] How to recognize a PHISHING site from a REAL site!

    Hi guys, recently I've been looking around Sythe and there are newcomers posting phishing sites everywhere.
    Tips on how NOT get phished are as follows:
    -If a newcomer posted a link that seems to good to be true, it is.
    -If it says 'Dont worry, it's not a phisher!' and you STILL insist on downloading it, kill yourself.... no i'm kidding, but run an anti-malware on it to prove to yourself its dirty. >.<
    -SCROLL YOUR MOUSE OVER THE LINK WITHOUT CLICKING IT!
    I cannot stress this enough, where the little bar is under your website window, between the task bar and the interenet, there's a little white strip that usually says "Done". Scroll over the link, and look at where it usually says Done. If it says servLces.runescape.com or anything odd, don't click it.
    This is pretty much common sense guys, so think before you click and get everything you have GFed by phishers.
    Thanks. ^_^
