I don't see the VeriSign thing under the 'Euro update' preview thing.

Just something small worth pointing out.

Yes, it is. Notice that it says .net-member at the top, instead of just, .net. Luv34Bo1 got scammed a few days ago because of it.

Some PayPal phishinig website is also sending out e-mails. I got one, in fact, but when I clicked on the link, FireFox told me that it was a phishing website or something. :love:

FF.

TBH, I actually just switched to FF a few days ago. Amazed at all the new features. Especially like the Greasemonkey script or whatever it's called, that SMS designed for the SRF site. Much easier to browse it now. That was actually the reason why I even DL'd FF in the first place. Now I use it mainly instead of IE. It's free, so why not DL it and try it?

People should have to common sense.... never ever log into a website by clicking on a link. Stop being lazy and manually type it out in the address bar.

If people aren't smart enough for that, then maybe they deserve their account being stripped.

Here is another one. This one from paypal. If your paypal is linked directly to your CC or Bank Account, this could severely cripple you financially.

PayPal - Confirm Your Identity - PayPal ID - PP697‎
From: PayPal (service@paypal.co) <-- Note its paypal.co not paypal.com You may not know this sender. Mark as safe | Mark as unsafe
Sent: June 24, 2007 9:45:47 PM
To: only-for-msn@hotmail.com <-- I created this just a few days ago for the sole purpose of msn. This email address is not linked with anything to do with paypal, or sro (besides it being in my SRF profile for msn)

SMS is my nickname to some on this forum. StealMySoda. Greasemonkey is a Firefox add-on.
