Clever Scam Alert!

I get an email from one of the watch forums saying I have a PM, so I click on the link in the email, and up comes my yahoo login screen asking for my id and password. Never seen this before. So I go to the watch forum website to see if I have a PM......none. This is a scam to get you to fill out the screen with your id and password. If you click the link it will leave you with a virus, my Norton anti-virus caught it and deleted. Don't open the link, just delete.

I learned a long time ago to never access a PM through an email. Very easy to access through Tapatalk.

Yes, an old trick that has been warned about here for years.

Yes, I believe that just happened to me. I received an email what is supposed to be from the forum. It says I have an pm from "keegsmeister"

However, I log into the forum and no pm...I did a search for "keegsmeister" no posts to date.
