hi magneto

i've replied to you:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2267392.0


Thanks.

(link doesn't work because i dont want anyone to get phished).

Essentially the page told me to enter in my password and my session was expired, to phish for my password. Was about to enter my password before realising that this was a phishing site. Please neg this user and be careful with any PM links.

I have tagged the user. We don't need people like this in our community as it is very hurtful to newbies. Thank you for notifying us.

No worries. Just thought i would warn others.

I changed my password because of this incident, even though i entered no details on their site.

Just in case that their site has some other malicious stuff as well. Hopefully nobody falls for this and if you do, change your password as soon as possible and hope that you have done so before the scammer has.
I'm surprised I haven't seen him banned yet. I have seen him a lot of times posting around. I have negged him

I'm guessing that he's only doing this recently and via PM. Therefore it is hard or impossible so to speak for moderators to ban him when they don't have any information in public about what this guy is up to.

Anyways, the site that he was operating this phishing bitcointalk site on was myrippleaddress dot com if anyone was wondering. When conducting a search of them, they have an ANN thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2342033.0;prev_next=next.

Probably all connected.
