Interesting privnote issue ( issue was that I’m dumb)

[Suzuki Matt]

Wow that's wild. Scammers are creative that's for sure. Looks like they have been getting people all along. I may have even used the wrong one before just being in a hurry. Thankfully it was never payment addresses recently. But definitely good to know. Thanks for sharing here.

Curious - and maybe I missed it - how did op arrive at the site he used? Did he do a google search and use what appeared? Or did he type it in wrong?

  I wanted to know as well....so using my cell phone I typed in privnote and here is what I got...

 


   Notice on the very top I got the scam website pirvnota and when you scroll down you get the real one!

 So I tried the same thing on my desktop....type in privnote on google and this is what I got.

   

   Different results than on my cell....on my laptop I got the legit website! 

   I wonder why is that!

Probably because you’ve used the legit site in the past, if you cleared your cache, cookies, DNA etc., it may show up a diff way

Yes I get that the search results are fucked but how did OP arrive at the erroneous site? By searching? Was he sent a link to use? Did he type it in?

    I tried this again on another computer that I know for a fact I have never used for privnote and I get the same results.

    Like I said before...is it just on cellphone? Perhaps it is using a different method that detects cellphones and then the sponsor fake website comes to the top? Its probably a bit harder to detect maybe cause its on a phone and not on a computer? Just my theory on to perhaps why this is happening.

Yes was on my cel. Typed privnote into google and this fake site was the first result.  Obviously had not heard about this being an issue before.

gotcha - thanks for the clarification. was trying to see if it was a personal error if someone here misled you.

people need to be careful and verify the links and addresses

I asked someone for their shipping address today and I got this:






note the web address pirvnota.com

No I’m just dumb sometimes. Was totally my fault.
