I'm cross posting this to the "Watch Out" sub-forum to get the word out. There's been a hacker responding to Rolex sales posts on some of the other watch forums with this PM:

Is this the same watch from this thread on RF?

http://www.rolexforums.com/forumdisp...8post234000912

I will probably take it either way as you seem very reputable.

Let me know!

The hyperlink (now shut down) redirects to a spoofed TRF sign on page that steals your TRF username and password. This is a problem because many folks use the same username and password for multiple accounts and forums. This guy was able to hack a Mod account on another well known watch forum and send out dozens of requests for a "new user fee". He was also able to hack into a members' email and bank account.

Please be careful out there!

Bo

Lol, no worries.

Sugar Mountain is pretty nice. I'm between Foscoe and Tynecastle, across from Grandfather Mountain. I fell in love with the area as a kid and came back after retiring from the AF last year. Do you ever make it back?
