WARNING. Possible phishing attack.

[Hetzer]

I had a PM from simanz90, he joined yesterday and when I typed a response most of the letters/words in the window were invisible as I typed. Some weird shit. They were all there when I hit submit and checked the post in my outbox. The PM he sent was "hi do you mind taking a few mins time to give some advice on a problem on bike please".

I'm thinking some kind of hack that sends one's password in the reply or something, a password that might be used elsewhere (banking or whatever).

Probably nothing but better safe etc.

OK, but let's check out his warning anyway, there could be something to it.

Hmm. I've never heard of anything like this and I can't think of a way it would be possible, the way you've described it

However, rule out some other possibilities first. Try sending a PM to another member, see if the letter disappear again. If it doesn't, reply to the first PM he sent you again, and see if the same thing happens.

I'm putting a link to his member profile here so I can easily find it again. Not so easy to search for a user who has never posted.

How do we know that it's actually Hetzer posting?

He might have had his account hacked and the hacker is posting blaming simanz90 as a false trail.
