    thanks for the warning fx.

    Just make sure that you have a pin set so they cant change your email... you can always get your account back if you get CGED

    also make sure your pin isnt easy to guess lol.. ...

    They steal somthing called a cookie string, they cant actually see your password unless they use a md5 Hash Generator, they simply steal your cokkie string, copy it to there browser and there logged into your account.

    Thanks for the warnings.



    I was actually looking at some of those scripts to download for that greasemonkey app on FireFox.

    If anyone is looking to download a script off userscripts, make sure you go to the code source, and ctrl + f for cookie. If cookie appears somewhere in the script, DO NOT download it - it is a cookie grabber.

    Well, there are lots of scams out there. The important thing is that we don't get effected by any of them. Does anyone else find it ironic that I'm telling people about scams they shouldn't do and other people are making these scams- both on the same forum? xD

    well this is a cheating forum so therefore anything goes as long as we abide by the rules on the forum. Cookie grabbers and flps however are not sold here so therefore cant be controlled.

    That is ironic, and since I've had no problems with that sort of thing I just get to laugh at this. =P (At least for now...-mental note to be wary-)

    On the other hand, general warnings are always good.

    Interesting, thanks for the warning. But, I think they are usually created by the same people or group of people.
