Possible Scam/Fraud On This Site

Post: # 25376Post danrclem »

Just a heads up to let Greg and the rest of you all know.

The last several times I have logged on to this site I've had a popup wanting me to log into my hotmail account. It says Microsoft and wants me to give my password. This hasn't happened to me anywhere except for this site so I figure it is an outside source messing with this site.

My wife and myself have both had our debit cards hacked in Feb. That's the first time it's ever happened so It's making me a little more aware of scams and fraud.

Thanks for the heads up, Danny. I haven't had other reports of such activity, so I appreciate knowing about it.

I deleted the cookies on this site and when I logged in again the message didn't come up. Hopefully it'll stay that way.

Thanks for letting me know what to do.

I wish I understood all I know (?) about cookies. Every time you go on a website, it gives you a cookie. New cookies don't always get along with old cookies. This is why you have to delete them from time to time. Nobody thinks about cookies until they have a problem. I'm glad you got it sorted.... ;) :)
