[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1753769, member: 110816"] All of your URLs have been removed to avoid others from clicking on it and getting into trouble. As noted by others, these are not valid and known as "phishing" scheme..as the name implies, they are trying to see how many "phish" will bite on it and most of these guys usually set up a website that looks EXACTLY like the real site they are trying to mimic. You enter your credentials, they save it and then claim the password was incorrect or something and redirect you to the real website where you enter the information again and it works. You assume you mistyped the password and don't give it a second thought. Now the hackers have your credentials and it turns out that a lot of people use the same password on multiple sites so they can now exploit other sites as you and mess you up.. [/QUOTE]
