Membersome stranger flashed a url with spacegreetings and freeservers in it and asked me to go thru his biodata and help him. I went there it flashed the yahoo login screen without thinking i entered my id and password and then sign in it displayed page could not be displayed. after 10 mins I realized that login screen is fake one and the person stolen my password and he changed my password. Beware!!!
(post made more viewer friendly by Moderator) there is no need to send people to the url!

MemberThanks snuggle! I was a bit leary of that site and I did not click on the URL…it seems to me that someone might do that to send people to a site like that. I am happy to know that you are around! Thanks again!

MemberI’ve said it before, but that was long ago ;), so I’ll say it again.
If a website asks you for your MSN, Yahoo or whatever-else password, be 100% sure that the website is not from a third-party source. If the address is not something like login.msn.com, blah.yahoo.com or foobar.icq.com then the site can not be trusted.

MemberI think i got snaked yesterday too, a i little window about 300×300 opened, and posing as one of my website hosters gave me a choice of my yahoo and my msn login emails, and at the time not thinking i did it too, but as soon as a found out i changed my passwords, i’m still not sure if that is wut happened, but it seemed so suspisious i didn’t take chances…..

MemberI Reported this to Yahoo and freeservers..I received a auto generated mail from yahoo. but no action. I think yahoo is not serious about this.

MemberTo give you an idea of how worthless yahoo! is, there was a guy i didn’t like, and he had a fake login page, and it was an obvious fake login page that went thru bravenet, so i called yahoo! and reported his id, and they told me unless i had lost my id thru it, they couldn’t do anything about it lol, the people who work for yahoo are clueless about 90% of the bs that goes on, half the all star ids that people have bought, were paid for with stolen credit cards, lol, maybe one day yahoo will get sued by all the credit card compainies, i mean how many 12 year old kids are gonna have their own credit cards?

DJHyperbyte is right. Remember, there should be a slash (/) after .com,
for example:If there’s no slash after the .com, it IS a FAKE login.
This is an example of the fake login url:http://login.yahoo.com.config.login.artificial.imbecile.cjb.net/ <– no slash after yahoo.com
Dont worry it’s safe, I guarantee. It’s just an example.
Just dont input any password and id. -
