Biggest fraud sites!! Be careful!

inworx · 03-16-2007

Hi I tried to search for egold exchange on google and soon, I did notice that I saw some good sites(or say good looking) I registered there and they asked to verify my account and I entered 0.01USD for verification, after clicking verify, a pop up opened saying e-gold and blah blah so that it was looking to be from e-gold. Now, I checked a secrity certificate, no certificate. Then I ddi noticed the turing number, I click the pop up 4 times and same turing number. Now I did the same with firefox and found the URL. It was different than the site where I registered but hopefully I am safe that I dint entered my login info on the pop up! People, just check security certificate if you're trying to pay by ssl secured site!

Thanks for the heads up. Great advice too, you should definitely check certificates if you don't have the proper tool for identifying phishing sites.

Thank you for the information and the heads up. If you do report them to different organizations, is there anything that we could do to maybe block those websites or ban them from Google? It seems that there are now out of control over the web.

This is another form of phishing websites. I thought they only used emails. This is a good information for all o us. At least now we're all aware of this thing.

I am really happy to be a member of this forum. I have been getting a lot of tips.

Hi thanks for alerting us , i would prefer to exchange my paypal money with other trades in forums and other hangout places at least their all these guy are well know .

Phishers are definitely out there and they are becoming more and more good at what they are doing. They can really duplicate a site to the letter now and can fool almost anyone without any knowledge on how to check the authenticity of a site. Thanks for the tips and warning.
