Everyone please be aware and be on the lookout!
There has been a huge increase in people trying to "phish" rapidshare accounts. I would suspect most of you know, but if you don't know what it is, its when a person uses a false link to redirect you to an identical rapidshare login page, in which once you submit your login, the details are sent to the user and they could steal your accounts.
Signs of possible phishing sites:
- Most of the time, they are used by link-protection sites. Also, if you are brought to a rapidshare login, check the link and make sure its the correct rapidshare login URL. If your not sure, for extra safety, go back to the rapidshare homepage and if your not logged in, do it there so you know your at the correct page.
What do I do if I find a person with a "phished" link, and what happens to them?
- Report, Report, Report. Once reported we will remove the topic from public view and most likely the person will be BANNED. Thats right, no warn, BANNED.
Is it only Rapidshare phishers?
- So far it has only been for rapidshare accounts, but that does not mean its only for rapidshare. People will most likely phish for other popular uploading site accounts, so beware.
This is crap, so what happens if I get phished?
- We can only TRY to prevent it, but we are not responsible if you fall for it. If you loose your account, though, contact RS, MU, whatever and see what they can do. If you feel like you have entered your info in a fake site, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY!
Is there anything else I should be on the lookout for?
- Yes, topics such as "Premium Accounts," or "~ If you are reading this report this SPAMMER to a moderator ~," are also very dangerous. These topics contain a small .exe file with various files used to obtain info on your machine. If you come across these topics, REPORT AND DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
