just a quick one.
I recieved a fake email from which said that someone had tried to get into my account and i needed to varify my details. a link popped up a very real looking page but with a few warning bells (no URL visable, no page code accessible).
i emailed and they varified that it was fake and they are looking into it.
it could be easy to get stung if you're tired or busy so beware.

just view the link before you click it. when you mouseover it in your email program it should show you where it really goes in the status bar below. most likely just an ip address with a spoofed ebay page. this actually happens with tons of companies

Pay Pal? more like Shit Pal!
(for those of you who didn't get it - I swapped the 'pay' from paypal, and put 'shit' in its place! HOW FUCKING FUNNY IS THAT!!!>?)

I've known for ages. but it's still helpful isn't it?
Some people have to work. They might not be up on everything there is to know. Being helpful like this or having a helpful attitude isn't something which requires you to payout.

obviously they only conned the simple fuckers for years huh jevad.
anyway, i better email my nigerian friends and warn them or thay might cancel the awesome money transfer deal we're setting up...

I guess it helps to remember that none of those businesses will ever ask you for your passwords etc like that..

This is what I hate about Jevad, he thinks he's soooooo fuggin' smart. Dude, ease up. Not everyone chops up the internet and snorts it up everyday. My man was just trying to warn people and here you come with your, "been there, done that bullshit." He can't even read this, cause he "ignored" me.

I agree, chill out. Thanks for the tip - not all of us are web snobs.

i love the whole 'be there done that attitude'.
man, i remember downloading Marathon Infinity (precursor to Halo) maps on a damn 14.4 modem connection and thinking 1.2mb was a huge amount of file to try and download lol. unfortunately that reminds me that i turned 30 this year and my life is over...
i even had a mate who used the whole bullitin boards before they became the web. the dude used to seriously look up ascii porn!
there are huge moments we should be ashamed of as a species...
