Is there a new scam out there about validating memership?
Anyone else get this (see attached .png)? I presume it is a scammer ...
Always vigilant! Cheers, Jonathan |

I received one as well and clicked it. I just reset my password...
Takes you to this link. I just read it should be rolexforums.com only in browser. The direct link from email goes to a rolexforum login lookalike page. |

The scammers can see members' emails that they advertise in the FS or WTB threads.
These email addresses are spammed/phished, also sold to other scammers pretending to be Paypal/Amazon/HSBC etc. Most won't click. The ones who do may end up starting a process costing some poor bugger thousands. It is called phishing, when a person is duped into handing over private info. Members like to call it hacking, removing their involvement in just handing the info over. Seems patronising to say "Never click a link" but a minority of members here do just that. Then it's up to mods and other members to sniff and sense a different tone to the "member" in their postings. It's half a nightmare. Don't click any email / PM link of any kind.

Yep don't ever click a link that you no nothing about. Even from a friend. Scammers and viruses use your friends address books to spread.

if my bank emails me and tells me to click to sign up for some offer or something, i go to the website, log on and sign up there. clicking anything is just a bad habit as you can almost always avoid it.

We don't need to "re-validate" any of you guys; you are all certifiable.
