Hi all!

I was trying to search fortunejack signature campaign through google and check each results google showed.
I then, later on, realized that it is not from the official bitcointalk forum but it looks really the same.



If this site is not legitimate, don't ever put your login details. I am just worried that it shows on first page of google.
Maybe report it as well so it will be closed right away!

Be careful everyone!



P.S.: if bitcointalk.to is legit and related to our official forum, I am sorry and my mistake. But if it is not legit, let's take it down please so no one will get victimized in case their motive is to get login information of bitcointalk accounts.

What a trick Shocked But please explain, if it's related to bitcointalk.org Huh

I am not sure also as of now but I hope all members of the forum get notified or at least be informed to stay away and be more prudent.
Although it is more of a personal responsibility but sometimes, it gets very tricky and any ordinary person will be victimized.

But if it is related to our official forum, nothing to worry about.

This is a fairly common scheme for scammers.
1. Create a website with url very similar to the victim's url.
2. Completely copy the website design of the victim
3. Set up a redirect to the real website after the user logged in.
4. Get yourself tons of logins/passwords.
5. Huh
6. Profit.
