Beware phishing emails.

Mod please move if this is not the right forum for the topic.

Just got an email stating I have a private message from Rolexforum, asking me to click on a link and sign in to view. I know most of us are aware of how phising emails look like. Just a heads up, guys. Hate to see members here got scammed by those shameless criminals.

Get Tapatalk. It notifies you if you get a pm so there is no confusion.

Easy, always go straight to the source and don't click on links.

It sounds like it was an email, purporting as a forum email about an PM -- not a PM via the forum.

Seems to me like it was an automatic email notification from TRF about a new PM. But the OP isn't 100% clear if the email or the PM contained the link. OP doesn't seem to have made his email address public.
