Just something small worth pointing out.

Yes, it is. Notice that it says .net-member at the top, instead of just, .net. Luv34Bo1 got scammed a few days ago because of it.
Some PayPal phishinig website is also sending out e-mails. I got one, in fact, but when I clicked on the link, FireFox told me that it was a phishing website or something. FF.

I think its pretty cool how FF warns u about the webpage.

TBH, I actually just switched to FF a few days ago. Amazed at all the new features. Especially like the Greasemonkey script or whatever it's called, that SMS designed for the SRF site. Much easier to browse it now. That was actually the reason why I even DL'd FF in the first place. Now I use it mainly instead of IE. It's free, so why not DL it and try it?

I got that a week ago. I exicted right out of it.

i can see your email....need to block it out.

People should have to common sense.... never ever log into a website by clicking on a link. Stop being lazy and manually type it out in the address bar.

If people aren't smart enough for that, then maybe they deserve their account being stripped.

Here is another one. This one from paypal. If your paypal is linked directly to your CC or Bank Account, this could severely cripple you financially.
