My son told me it isn't unheard of. He told me to always check the top of the screen I'm on (example - // www . ottawadivorce . com for us computer-illiterate folk. I have to admit I have never paid any attention to this.
Helps to have a son like mine, especially when one dives eagerly into a Nigerian website. I had casually told him about today's adventure while out at the store. He abruptly stopped and said "you did what?" The shopping trip immediately terminated and soon after my computer was flushed out and I had to redo all my passwords etc. That will certainly teach me a lesson!Last edited by arabian; 01-19-2014, 08:54 PM.

The key strat to phishing is very simple you send an email like "You've gotten a facebook message from X ... CLICK HERE to check your message" That click here link takes you to an exact site that looks like facebook but different URL but it could even be something like http://www.facebook.monkeyrandom.com/facebook you enter your credentials and then that site REDIRECTS you to the real facebook site and either passes your credentials on (facebook might detect that) OR just puts you back at the real login page like nothing happened.

Would make it easy for someone to perhaps borrow some credentials?
Enjoy......

The reason they are doing that is for advertising revenue.
Content is King in the internet world if you build a site with a good original content you get higher google rankings thus ppl click thus you get advertising revenue.
Reporting it to google would probably be a good site, you can also perhaps check the IP of ppl from Nigeria and ban them and/or you can ban everybody outside of North America and Europe///

Or you could Google "Fair Use."

Furthermore, we're not talking about disney or movie studios here....
I'm just a user of the site, I understand I have no rights so if those are the rules so be it but I thought there was something else to the whole topic, thanks.
