i highly reccommend that people click links on their PHONES or laptops they don't access btc services at all with.
checking most websites on the phone's browser is pretty safe from what i understand and you have the ability to check the site without it messing up your computer and installing viruses or other fishy stuff

Is this true guys? I accessed the link via an alternate browser which I don't usually use on my iPhone. Does this make me at all vulnerable?

No its all BS, but clicking on the link won't infect your PC, its a phishing site, its simply a copy of he BTC-e website but when you login it stores your username & password, if you didn't login you have nothing to worry about.

Cheers for clearing that up! It's just showing folders atm so it is down which is good but doesn't that make the source available?

I'm not sure, but if you use the same password it's better to be safe if you have any money floating around.

Also does a phishing scam work by you entering details and it simply recording them? It doesn't delve deeper than that? I.e steal saved email addresses etc.

he got me and i clicked, but 0 btc on the exchange so, nothing to worry
this is why i keep all my bitcoin on my wallet

forum should add a notification of a msg that it sent to multiple people(don't know if this is possible)

Change your password on BTC-e and also change it on any other websites that you are using the same password on as he will likely start looking for your other accounts that share the same PW.

Same here, I hadn't even made an account on BT-E really so I'm lucky in a totally different way lol Tongue

Woh, that's just fucking low, I'm glad I clicked on my personal bookmark and not the link, I almost got tricked too Sad

and here I thought that person was being honest, from now on I'm going to have to assume now every person doing a giveaway or lottery is a scammer and that's sad really.

The first post should be edited to get rid of that nasty nasty link.

Agreed, I bet there's been hundreds of bitcoins lost, or at least in the next 24 hours.

I also got the PM. The funny thing is that my only contribution to the giveaway thread was to ask "What happens if I choose an already chosen number?" so I had no chance to win at all.

Now, after reading this thread and learning about "my account was hacked", I PM'd anyroll showing interest and waited for his reply. Guess what, as of 06:34 UTC he's still scamming people:

Can we have the mod to disable his account, at least for now? The fact that he's still replying the scam PM is proof enough that the issue has yet to be fully resolved.

Agreed, banned. We'll sort it out later.

Eh I see the jig is up. For future reference it's always good to reply to these things as if you believe them and try to draw out info about the phisher without revealing anything about yourself or clicking any links.

I nearly clicked this fucker's link. He should be drawn and quartered. I know in some countries they break for legs for this type of shit.
