Yes, but signing in with a valid bitcointalk account doesn't work, so I don't think it's for a proxy service. Most likely phishing, but I could be wrong.

There was an earlier thread posted in the meta section about that site here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/what-is-bitcoin-forumsnet-998187

It doesn't seem to be a scam/phishing site since nobody has reported their account being compromised from it yet although I've noticed that they use popunder ads which is kinda dishonest since they didn't create the content themselves. Perhaps labeling it as a possible scam might be a better idea.

EDIT: It's also possible that the site is meant to be used as a proxy service for those who live in countries where Bitcointalk is banned. This site was such an example:

Added bitcoin-power.com to the list of scam sites.

TC, what do you think of developing a simple browser plug in that would alert users if the site they are visiting could be a scam?  We could allow legendary members to contribute to the database.

Of course this would only work if we could promote it in the B&H section...

I wouldn't even know where to begin Cry

This is a FANTASTIC idea. Have a form for suggesting scams, and then only TRUSTED users preselected are allowed modifying it, but the community can vote or explain how they got scammed. That would save people a lot of money. Especially warning people that "this site is a HYIP, click HERE to read info about it" < stuff like that could help people lose a lot less money

I bet you can't fit all the scam sites in one post, there are SO many here and it is too hard to keep track of them. Right now what is popular is the HYIPs, and there is a thread which outlines all of the active ones and the risk level. The scams like exchanges can only be predicted since they haven't crashed or taken money yet.

It has many of these kinds of scamming sites out there on google.when you sear'skrill/neteller for bitcoin or wmz/PM' these kind of exchanges,it always bumps up those sites.I used to test on a site called payexim and got scammed 0.03 BTC,they never paid me back some  neteller or skrill.And their phone listed on sites can never be connected when you call.
So I sum up some experience that all these kinds of sites has a same feature is that they always advertings they got huge reserve on all virtual E-currencies like on skrill,neteller,webmoney,perfect money etc and with low exchange rates to lure people to get scammed.So beware.

I was on Google a while ago and saw this:



Curious, I decided to click it and the site looks exactly like Blockchain.info but the links are non-functional. There are no charts, no block explorer, just a page to log in and enter your details. Because of this, it's quite possible that the site is a phishing scam.

No doubt about it, that's a phishing site. They usually get taken down pretty quick but keep popping back up. I guess adwords coupons are still easy to get at a very good discount or people are using stolen cards to pay for clicks.
