Phishing site using Rolex forum to get user passwords

[rumjungl]

I have a watch for sale in the classifieds with my email address. I received an email from a user Jakeisles that contained a link to watches supposedly for sale on the Rolex Forum. The link contains the host byethost8 in the address. It takes you to a fake Rolex Forum site that will ask for your username and password. It is capturing user passwords to hijack accounts.
Admins please let me know if you would like the link or the email forwarded.

I wonder if this is the same website that’s involved in a similar scam mentioned here: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=607033

Jakeisles Banned. Guys please DO NOT click on these links that are emailed or PM’d to you, you are just asking for trouble.

If this is the same hosting outfit in that earlier phishing scam, it may be time to register corrupt activity with British authorities.

Whois shows a free hosting outfit:

Organization: i FastNet LTD
Street:Bulman House, Regent Centre, Gosforth,
City:Newcastle upon Tyne
State:Newcastle upon Tyne
Postal Code:NE3 3LS
Country:GB
Phone:+1.7602846681

But if the scammers are also scamming the hosting outfit, then a quick message might shut down the phishing attack against TRF:

Registrar Abuse Contact Email: [email protected]
Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: +1.6613102107
Reseller: NAMECHEAP INC

I received the same email and stupidly clicked on the link. Figured out what was going on within a couple of minutes and immediately changed my password here.

Anything else I need to do ??

If you use the same username/password on other sites make sure to change those also.

That probably needs to be a pinned thread.

There already is one, right at the top (pinned/sticky) of the busiest sub-forum, the RGD section. It has been there for more than 3 years.....and discusses this threads exact problem.

Trouble is, few read it, and we can’t lead a horse to water.
