    I remember getting a whisper to a link about "SE doing an update that shouldn't happen" a few days back. I was surprised and recalled coming onto the site about SE delaying the maintenance and I was like "What?" was there something else I missed. I did copy the link and go there and it brought up a login screen which confused me, because whenever I come into the SE Forums I'm already in and if I'm logout it tells me. It was for a brief second, but my Anti-Virus Protection program (Webroot) kicked in and told me this was a dangerous site.

    I immediately closed the tab and looked at the link closely. Everything looked normal until I spotted it... that -ndy tag at the end of .com or something like that. I realized it was a fake link while in-game even when the player name looked normal and not the RMT names with "jahadsasjkdf" for example. I told my FC about it and they mentioned it was a Phishing scam.

    Despite not logging in I decided to change my password since then. So far my account is fine and nothing is wrong so far. So, just logging in screws you over. I am glad my Virus Protection kicked it, but I wouldn't have logged in regardless as I would've opened up another tab for the official Forum to check it out and then backed out.

    It was a close call.

    EDIT: Ugh... the grammar and mistakes. Ugh, sorry about that.
    Sorry to hear it happen to you TC. Be wary from random links from now on and I'm going to double-check each link I get to be sure.
