Only using my hotmail account for MSN, but few hours ago, this popped inside my inbox:
Now I thought this was odd, none of my 4 accounts are registered to this hotmail account (not safe imo). But an old account i've gotten rid of long time ago WAS bound to this hotmail account. But still this dropped inside my inbox. Anyhoo both the "Click here" and "here" leads you to this form:
http://140.136.12.31:2222/form.htm
So basically this "GOA auto msg thingy" has one form for BOTH changing password AND submitting complaints. And not only that, the form asks you for EMAIL and EMAIL PASSWORD. And subscription + password. So this is obviously a scam of some sort, I will notify GOA bout this since the dude that made this up is faking GOA.
How this person got hold of my email and linked it to me playing DaoC is another mystery....
