Scam reference request WARNING

I got suckered into a phony request for a reference here. Here is the deal. They send you pm on this site and then include a link. You click the link and then it looks just like trf and you enter your login for trf. Only problem it’s not trf and now someone has your email and password. Don’t click it. Report to mods.

Here’s my post in the announcements/feedback section but I’m posting here because there’s no traffic on that subforum.

The above plus always hover over links to see if address is what you are expecting. That one sure wasn’t.
