Just came across this very recently created FAKE Rolex Forums Website:

http://www.rolex*******forums.com/index.php

Looks like they have copied much of the Forum look and somehow have imported much of the content.

Look carefully, if somehow you find yourself THERE instead of here!

Listed in this category for maximum visibility!

Perhaps making this a STICKY might be a good idea, until such time as someone figures out how to have it removed and the domain name transferred to TRF Administration so as to keep it out of circulation for others to misuse in the future.

Warn your friends!

i feel sick.

Old Expat Beast · 13 March 2015, 12:57 PM

Ok, this is very bad.

Grissom · 13 March 2015, 12:58 PM

My initial post immediately showed up on the FAKE site, so somehow they are able to mirror TRF onto their fake site. Scary.....

ADINVA · 13 March 2015, 12:58 PM

This is disgusting! Should be careful whenever one is looking to have some money transactions. Beware not to wire money to the wrong seller!

Is it possible to shut down the site?

turillo · 13 March 2015, 01:00 PM

Wow... This poses a large security threat.

Whomever made that site was able to import TRF's database. I'm sure this hasn't gone unnoticed by TRF admins.

Lock her down boys!

Old Expat Beast · 13 March 2015, 01:00 PM

Stuff I just put up for sale in the last hour or so is on there too!

ELITEVIDEOGAMES · 13 March 2015, 01:01 PM

Earlier today I tried to log on to the site and everything was all wonky with missing text and categories. Ten minutes later all was back to normal, I am pretty sure the site was hacked sometime midday.

Blingtone · 13 March 2015, 01:02 PM

2 wrongs will never make a right, said confuscious ?

Tyl3r · 13 March 2015, 01:02 PM

To be honest, I think this thread will cause more harm than good.

Oyster1982 · 13 March 2015, 01:04 PM

The fake site even has this thread in it. I hope there is a way to shut it down.

If so, Tyl3r, then hopefully a moderator will remove it. Whatever is best for TRF is what I want. Thank you for sharing your opinion, and again, I hope a Moderator, or Steve, will do whatever is in the best interest of TRF, including removing this post, if need be!

Onikage · 13 March 2015, 01:06 PM

It looks bizarre.

sleddog · 13 March 2015, 01:07 PM

This was posted here earlier also, and we are aware...

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=401821

Right now we are active on the situation and doing all we can to keep this site and it's members safe.

I advise everyone to double check when logging in, and triple check always!!!

cop414 · 13 March 2015, 01:07 PM

This is not good...

I do agree as far as the possibility of negative perpetuation here, however this does look pretty bad and I feel like as many members as possible should be aware of this and take extra care in logging in at least for the next couple weeks. My rather layman advice would be for people to not log in after following links, always go to TRF by typing in the full address and not rely on auto pupulate histories, etc.

fishingbear · 13 March 2015, 01:09 PM

Wow. This can be very bad.

Please don't take my post the wrong way. I definitely appreciate you looking out as do the other members I'm sure. However, before your post, nobody knew about the website. They probably would never have found themselves on that website. There is a good possibility after clicking the link, somebody may forget they have left the legitimate TRF and will try to log onto the fake website. The website has the ability to steal account usernames and passwords to scam members in the future. I would remove the website domain from your first post and advise members to look twice that they are on the correct domain when logging in and buying something off of this forum.

Kadhytia · 13 March 2015, 01:12 PM

Make sure you enter this site from your bookmark's tab.

Afghanvet · 13 March 2015, 01:12 PM

Pretty sharp... it automatically pulls posts from TRF and populates them in its threads.

overthehill · 13 March 2015, 01:13 PM

what the?

ELITEVIDEOGAMES · 13 March 2015, 01:14 PM

Since it's able to mirror everything is it possible signing in on the correct site could mirror your login and password right to the hackers?

rollee1 · 13 March 2015, 01:15 PM

Didn't I see this site being spammed by Korean postings a couple of mornings ago?

Yes, that is what I suspect. It could be a phishing website.

willang · 13 March 2015, 01:16 PM

Looks like it is mirroring our site (but swapping out the domain) and therefore, any posts submitted here will be reflected there in real-time.

Investr · 13 March 2015, 01:17 PM

Yuck!!! I bet the trusted sellers are hating this......
