Bad use of traffic - Theft

[ceo]

I just came upon a domain name that belongs to a member here.
The page that opens asks for bank/CC details in the guise of updating the account.

It's worse than porn to me.
What should I do?
Disclose here, or talk to one of you guys 1st about it?

 

[A D]

PM me the details and we can discuss it if you like.

What's your msn again DCG?

Since I don't have the msn yet, I'll do a pm....

What account? had this type of page emailed for my ebay! do you mean update dnf membership?

Worse than porn? :-D

 

[draqon]

porn is evil, sex is evil, pleasure of any kind is evil, only being in church is ok.

LOL, Not that I meant porn was bad in it's own way. It was an instant comment I made in the context of porn being thrust on an unaware user trying to reach another domain name.... : )
And how this would compare.

btw- no it was not DNF's membership.
It was another scam like operation. Similar to one where you are told to login to Ebay or paypal... yes...

 

[Mr. Deleted]

i have posted a link to an exemple page of a scam if that is what you are referring to. It is not a scam, only an exemple. I also state so on the page. If you have a problem with that then pm me.

btw its not promoted anywhere, i just use it to show people how the scams are getting more cunning.

 

[ceo]

I do not think it is in reference to you or your domain Mr.Deleted.
And I do not know which domain you have posted. if you can post it here, we would learn something...
Thanks.

 

[Mr. Deleted]

choped.com / login (I do not want the search engines to pick it up though.

 

[muzie]

Good example Mr Deleted--I get those all the time. Can we see an example of what you are refering to CEO? Is it Paypal related also?

 

[ceo]

Mr.Deleted - excellent example... will help those that are new to it...
The domain I was talking about is :
http://www.pagerankchecker.com
Site not appearing now (to me).... but look at the Website Title parameter (1st on right) at -
http://www.whois.sc/pagerankchecker.com

That's what was happening !

 

[Mr. Deleted]

ok. Thanks. I know that there are a lot of people doing this crap... see http://freedns.afraid.org/safety for more on this. I'm a member of Afraid.org for this guy's DNS service, and one day I found that someone had used my domain XV.BZ for a scam like this: http://signin.ebay.com.xv.bz it now goes to the above link as that is what Josh does with those kind of scams.

Whoa there! How did you get here?

I'll tell you how you got here... you were almost scammed. Someone just tried to deceive you into giving up your personal information, through a Paypal, eBay or banking scam. I see these all the time, chances are likely however that you do not, so I want to take this opportunity to explain some things to you.


The link you clicked to get here translates into: signin.ebay.com.xv.bz.
