Reported that site here : https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/

If others do it too, that will add a warning when someone visits that page accidentally.

There's a firefox addon to show real hyperlinks, forgot the name of it.

This might be it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/url-tooltip/

Quote

Display the destination URL when hovering cursor over a link. Show link URLs without looking at status bar. Useful when disabling status bar to gain extra screen space or for full screen browsing.
* Show hyperlink destination

with same url...

Because it's not the same URL.
It's taking advantage of the lookalike between an upper case i/I and an lower case l/L in some fonts.
Also, they are trying to hide the different url using bbcode.

Code:

[url=scam link here]real link here[/url]

ok thank you for explanation....

nick name seems italian:

Benito = Benito Mussolini!

(Finito) = (Ended - It's Over)

I would have fell for it,reason I try to stick to not clicking on any links in the forum. Just not knowledgeable enough about these type of things.
Watch me get a ton of messages now. Shocked

Looks like the newbie warning helped a little in this situation though.

We're getting these more often lately, it seems.
That kind of phishing has been around for a long time, but the last weeks, a lot of threads about it pop up.
redsn0w reported a similar PM just some minutes ago.
I'd advice you to report the PM, if you haven't already done that.

Yeah, that's done already.

What happened::

Received this pm a few minutes ago:

The link is about this topic: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/moved-1314653

But the actual link masking beneath it:

Code:

http://bitcointaik.org/index.php?topic=1325758.0

It'll redirect you to a login page where, if you enter your login credentials will lead to a compromise.

Scammers Profile Link:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/benito-finito-386326

Additional Notes:

Be sure to check the actual link by hovering onto a clickable text before exploring it.
And never click on links sent by a newbie.

BTW, thanks Lutpin for the warning.
