Please double and triple check ALL url's to make sure they are what they are supposed to be.

I have been receiving fake screenshot links to Ïmgur.com (notice the first letter 'I'). I assume malicious downloads and attachments are involved.

Headsup to all around.

edit; Please move to necessary section if needed.

It's often thing - take well known website, make samo hardly visible changes in address and use it for bad purpose. Mostly people wouldn't notice that isn't original website.
By the way, this fake imgur.com link redirects me to http://xn--mgur-4pa.com which can't be opened.

Interesting. By 'receiving' you mean via PM on BTCT or via other methods? Could you take a screenshot or two of these messages and/or link the users in question?

I assume people could/would use it through here or other methods.

Here is an example.  DO NOT VISIT.  DO NOT VISIT.  I REPEAT, DO NOT VISIT.
