Icon5 Forum Announcement

The Forum PSA:

Saw the below message logging in about 10min ago.

Good idea, although what if you didn't log in at this time to see the PSA?

Was this a test for a broader campaign?

The Rolex Forums is turned off for 5 minutes so that we can bring you this important message: NEVER click on links or photos or anything sent to you in a message or email as doing so will typically result in your account and personal details being stolen and use to defraud other members of significant moneys. Make sure NOW you have a strong password!! The seller you think you know may be a someone else.......

I hear you all but what if I just not click any old link, not use tapapapa, have a password unrelated to my watch hobby, not advertise my email and ph#, log out when done, give ALL details in classifieds to avoid back and forth emails or text requests, be wary of messages sent by members I have no reason to receive a message from — before I download another app etc...

Let’s face it, most don’t get ‘hacked’ — it’s simply some negligence.

Same message last night. Only it was for over 45min, not 5.

Maybe update it and remove the 5 minutes message?

I got the message last night for at least 5 hrs. Thought I got banned.

Thank you

Just remember that had I accepted the Mod position this wouldn’t have happened.


(You all do a great job)
