The email addresses used for signup on this forum have leaked and many of them have received the following scam email:

"India is the guru of the nations, the physician of the human soul in its profounder maladies; she is destined once more to remould the life of the world and restore the peace of the human spirit.
But Swaraj is the necessary condition of her work and before she can do the work, she must fulfil the condition."

Yup. Though I got this email just the day before yesterday.

There are at least two of the red flags in that email:

1. WE HAVE FOUND THE HIDDEN GEM

2. ... ultimate opportunity to get 150% return for the first time in history

Maybe there are even more of them, but the two mentioned above would be enough for me.)

Its always better to change password and use different passwords across services.

You are right. I do keep changing my passwords periodically and never use the same password for different services but here it is different if we change password it is displayed in your trust link that password has been changed recently.Forum members do not prefer to deal with such members who have changed their password
