It's a phishing address. If you typed your password (he hope that you will think that this the forum and you got logged out) then he probably have your password right now and you should change it. Report the P.M as well so the administration check and ban him.

So people can get high ranked member accounts -> sell them for BTC and run away. Good job OP for recognizing the obscure link. Can we take down that website by sending a mail to the registrar, or implement some kind of URL checker on the forum or something. WHOIS information: https://www.whois.com/whois/detallesfalleros.com

I think it's a phishing, many web addresses now use airdrop traps, whereas it is a web phishing, always look at every address you visit!!! and be careful!!! do not use the same password with important accounts!!!

SUGGESTION: The "url" tag can't be used in sending PMs. The admins should implement this since at these cases we don't necessarily quote it to hence the victim will not know whether it is the actual or a phising website unless you made the mistake, had read threads like this or just foreseen it.

You can't be careful enough on this forum. I really try not to click on links on this forum because chances are they contain some sort of keylogger or some miner that secretly mines Monero using my cpu. Try to avoid those links and invest in a good anti-virus sofware and you should be good to go. I'm reporting this guy and you should do so too.

yep, if you entered your credentials then your account is compromised. it was the phishing form and it is still active! Apparently original site was hacked and the phishing page was implanted.

Could someone help me with this one, im a bit freaking out. Thanks, Hank Hi, I am GaddaKhan,(using a new account now as I am banned) and I think that I fell for this because I received several such messages as well. I think that my account was compromised as I am now banned. I also have 1.6btc in Escrow at SebastianWu (With Original GaddaKhan account) and I am possibly going to lose it as whoever got hold of my account (due to successfully phishing me) has sent some personal messages compromising my deal with Sebastian and the seller. If someone can assist me here. Especially with my Escrow deal as SebastianWu has banned me and I don;t know how to prove my innocence.

Your negative feedback from Sebastianju says Scammed involving a fake account when I escrowed a deal., so think that you are the one scamming him? If not follow the link to the ban appeal and pray that the mods believe your story.

Why would I jeopardize a deal in which I have 1.6btc at stake. My BTC is in escrow at SebastianJu.

But what if you are just that person and want to outsmart them to get the item for free. For us to believe, especially SebastianJu, you need to provide evidences/proofs.

It's hard to proof due to the fact that if your account was compromised due to a phishing attempt, why would they just post with your account without changing your password. They would at least take over full control of your account and sell it for money. The motto is "innocent till proven guilty", however you are in a tough situation. The only thing you can do is PM SebastianJu regarding your BTC, and in regards to the phishing links you send in PM's that will be hard to prove, because i don't think theymos will check IP logins just for your account.

I was also very confused that my account was hacked as password was not changed. Whoever did this though knew that had he/she changed my password, I would have been alerted immediately as I would have received the email change of password. He/she was sly enough to work in the background attempting to scheme the BTC out of SebastianJu.

Will Theymos be motivated to check IP logins for a fee, this will prove my innocence beyond doubt?

Theymos must be very busy with other important things, I am sure he don't have enough time to look into your case and check the IPs. It would be really tough for you to prove your innocence as no one will believe you as per the current circumstances. You can just try to get back your bitcoins from SebastianJu but still there are less chances.

Read the meta sticky, it seems that's the only way you can recover your account. There are too many people for admins to check on your account alone.
