Phishing site warning?
snorks:
Hello everyone,
I went to click on the website given for Mr. Goodblood, to check out what folks were talking about. My filter kept telling me it was a known and reported phishing site.
Is that the correct addy and if so, is it a phishing site?
frederica:
Recieved the same warning. Will have to see if they attach cookies. frederica

There are several links given in this thread: which one (or ones) do you mean?
frederica:
It flashed a warning on this site, for me anyway. http://geocities.com/fakemedicinemen/goodblood.htm. The warning didn't stay up very long, then went to the site. It did attach cookies. I deleted both. frederica
Barnaby_McEwan:
I think that's probably a false positive. People usually end up at a phishing site after clicking on a link in a spam email or instant message that points to a different address than it appears to. That page isn't pretending to be a bank or Paypal or asking you to enter any information at all. No harm in being vigilant though.
