Well guys, I went to the following site instead of 'Blockchain.info':

http://***.144.***.7/~pushpak/www.blockchain.info/

It has a IP address at the beginning, but I know damn well that isn't mine. Plus, it didn't have my identifier on there, and it had the 'create wallet' button under the sign in button.

Is this another Blockchain site, or just a phisher? (I found this by Googling Blockchain, and somehow, it was the first thing to come up.)

That looks totally legit.  I just recently went to a Bank of America that was run out of a back alley, definitely the real thing, I gave them my social security number and bank passwords, they're also holding my checkbook for me because they said it needed refilling.

If you were unsure if that was real I will save you the time and let you know not to buy this "laptop" either.



I mean honestly guy, that was the worst phishing attempt ever.  No legit website is EVER going to have an ip address in front.  EVER.  You can write that down on a post it note and stick it on your monitor as cyber security rule #0.

If this was the first result in www.google.com I think you have more security risks in your computer.
I would advice you to buy a new harddisk and save this one for further investigation if you got robbed in someway.

As mentioned above, where you got that link is important. If you got it in an email or something that would be typical. But if you searched and this came up, or if you typed the normal address into the browser and it changed to this... You may have much bigger problems.
