Yes, I found it. Thanks. I think I'll keep this up though, just as a heads up for anyone else that might receive such messages. Thank god I have "stay logged in" on all sites. If for example, this site was proned to logging me out randomly at times, I wouldn't have given the address bar a second look. Sometimes it's scary how close one can get to being fished. I've on various occasions clicked on links from services I use and signed in, without checking address bar, only to 5 minutes later realize how easily it could have been a fishing attempt.

Hello, since I don't know exactly how to report any private messages, I'm making a thread on a fishing attempt by a user of the forums:
Here is a personal message I got from JarlMezentius:
Now, it might not seem suspicious, BUT the link doesn't route you to bitcointalk.org, it takes me to: http://bitcointalk.yzi.me/indexphp%3Ftopic%3D276623.0/index.html <------ DO NOT GO HERE
As can be seen, it's a fishing site.
His username profile is: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/jarlmezentius-146923
Hope this helps, and if someone can tell me an easier way to report this, thanks.

Hi I saw a thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=276623.0
about giving 0.002 btc (2$) just to get your signature
Do you know if it is real or it is just scam ?
