Action should be taken NOW, it should have been taken care of early in the morning Monday, when it was posted. I wonder how many people thought that because it was in the SL forums, it would be safe to give their passwords? SOON as it was reported, this scam that is throughout all our forums should have been dealt with.

Well the form and domain pointers are still there, god knows how many other places they posted this scam, just hope LL has taken strong action against the Muppet that posted it.

We sent the following message out to our groups and hope others will do the same to raise the awareness as the domain is still there:

From: someone
There is a survey circulating on a .tk domain, that starts as follows:

"Linden Research, Inc. is offering 5000 Lindenâ„¢ dollars ( Thats Over $20 Worth ) to each Second Life player willing to help us fill in the form of our customer feedback. After that, within 24 hours you will get a Confirmation e-mail to confirm the award."

THIS IS A PHISHING SCAM!!!! please inform friends and contacts!



PS: when i tested the form earlier it went to a "Thank-You your details have been sent"

However now when i try the form just refreshes, so hopefully jotform have blocked the page, unless someone else gets a different result with fake data
