    Don't fall for it.
    Admins will probably use PM rather than your listed email address, no?

    Sythe Account Phish Attempt.

    I highly doubted it's legitimacy due mainly to the fact that I haven't made any trades recently for which there would be a transaction log, and that hence there would be no reason to file a scam report.

    Nonetheless, I am flattered that someone would make the effort to attempt to gain unauthorized access to my account.

    It's fake.


    Just FYI: The way SMTP works, its possible to spoof email from any email address.

    Sythe.org will never email except for the initial welcome email and notifications of new PMs. We especially will never link you anywhere but sythe.org.

    Well whenever I am told to download something, especially a log of something I did, you start to wonder why such a reputable underground site would do such a thing.

    I would never even bring my mouse near such a link. Lol.

    It's obviously fishy when it says to download a unknown mediafire/megaupload file.

    Sythe Account Phish Attempt.

    I had a guide on how to tell whether an email was fake or not. Guess it got deleted with the latest mass-prune of old threads :\

    No big deal, all you have to do is view the email headers.

    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/phishing. Please do some research; it took me like 8 seconds.

    Thanks for the warning, Determinate. I got it and was expecting a phishing attempt, so I just checked here on Sythe for a RaS on me rather than click the link.

    Also, do we get notified at all when a RaS is filled on us?

    Maybe it's time to send out a mass-email to all Sythe patrons, telling them to be on their guard?

    I think something like this would only target Sythe accounts with higher rep/postcount/vouch count, as phishing any other account would be pretty useless.

    Since people in those positions seem to have more or less proven their ability to guard against being scammed, I think this phish is doomed to fail.

    I'd be surprised if anyone falls for it.

    I got something very similar to this a few days ago; I just deleted it tho, considering the fact I haven't done a trade for over a month..
