Saved by Firefox Phishing Alerts

Ok, I’m an Internet marketer and I should know how to distiguish between a real email from Ebay and a phishing scam mail, right?

Well I guess we’re all gullible sometimes. Especially when you’re tired or sleepy, you mind doesn’t really pay attention to details.

That’s when Firefox saves my day.

Yeah, Firefox is definitely THE browser to use. With so many personalized features and plugins, I just cant see why there are still people using the ever so problematic IE

Yet another reason to switch to Firefox ;) But was it the Google toolbar that reported this? (judging from the logo “Send report to Google”)

Yeah, the thieves are always getting smarter and smarter… you have to be on the look-out 24/7.

i cant find the extension called web forge. So i just install TrustWatch Search for now. If you can write down the link it’s better :D

That is why I love Firefox and hate Explorer!

Just FYI, Explorer reports one of my sites as
a phishing site although it is just a normal
direct response site. Just open http://www.RahsiaMLM.com
on your Explorer and you’ll know (still there
as of today).

I didnt get any phishing message when i went to RahsiaMLM.com - maybe cos I’m using my Mac, have to switch to the PC. Could it be the word MLM in the domain name?

Just for info Zamri Nanyan, i checked your mentioned website, the only thing blocked by the MSIE 6.SP2, is the http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif. When i used my firefox 2.0.0.1 with my siteadvisor plugin, it shows OK. but must allowed script. ok thats all. no harm done. :smiling here:
