Fake Trademe?

[matt dunn]

I recieved an email which appears to have come from trademe,
with a question on an auction that is not mine.

Click on the link and it takes me to this,

XXX

I believe it's a fake site trying to get people's passwords,
as I use auto login, and because the address seems wrong?

[Dell'Orto]

Must be, it looks like the old TM Address is up the wazoo as well

[Boosted_162]

I click the link, and a little window opens asking if i want to download so and so file .

So dodgy!

[SUBARUCONVERT]

id be a little concerned, people that traded with u may get tricked, if they can get access to there email account thye may be able to get hold of all ur details, and set up fake trades etc

[Rick]

You need to inform trademe about this.

[l1ttle_d3vil]

thats old, and yes it is a scam.
infact i remember it being posted on toyspeed not that long ago...

[Adamal]

Reminder: Trademe will never email you asking for your login and/or password.

The same goes for banks.

[Dave8501]

lol i logged in using a fake username and password and it takes me to the trademe page lol

[Dell'Orto]

I did that the last time they had that scam going, and they suspended my account for security reasons of course, which I sort of appreciated.

[Bazda]

yea i had that a while ago, and trademe called me about it cos the guy got my password, so had to go through this procedure and change my password.

[Scotty]

always good to leave a friendly message for the person in the logon boxes, its good to know they will read it

[rallyrulz]

Ofcourse its a scam, there are thousands of these around, mainly for banks. And they are easy to spot, just look at the domain.

http://trademe-co-nzmembersloginaspx.ma ... Login-aspx
break it up

Protocol: [http://]
Top level domain [.com]
Second level domain [.mail333] <- this is fake, obviously not trademe
Sub Domain [trademe-co-nzmembersloginaspx]
File on server: [VerifyISPAS-Trademe-co-nzLogin-aspx]

Domains are read backwords. So for a valid trademe domain HAS to be
[anything].trademe.co.nz read it as New Zealand Company Trademe

For a bank website it has to read New Zealand Company nameofbank
Full stops are the only domain seperators, not hyphens -

[Dave8501]

damn it lol... trademe have disabled my membership for doing a fake logon on that damn site lol grrr...

[andyae85]

i cant log into my tardme account atm and now i get this pretty dodge email saying they disabled it and now i have to now re-enable it and change all my passwords excuse my ignorance but is this real? it aint a scam or nothing is it?, just seems a bit weird thats all lol

[Akane]

yeap trademe disabled my account too, I did a fake login on that site and it's screwed now.

dumbass trademe.

[Scotty]

C*nts i sent trademe some "friendly" suggestions on what they can do with the disabling of my account

[snwtoy]

How do they disable your account if you used a 'fake' login?

Of course, it's for legit security reasons. As soon as you login to the fake site, you're giving someone else a username and password they are not supposed to have.

Thats what I was wondering.

I logged in to that website a few times with emails addresses like yourgay@yourgay.com and password f*ckyou but my account was alright

[snwtoy]

It redirects to pochta.ru/

That's russian right? Sergei - translate http://www.pochta.ru/ ?

[Dell'Orto]

If you use your actual account name, TM somehow gets wind of it, and shuts down your account for security purposes.
Use something like eatadick@yomommashouse.com and you'd be sweet.
