Fake Skyrim site - phishing attempt?

Recommended Posts

I came across a fake Skyrim website, maybe using stolen forum pages from Bethesda and other sites, with fake members and stock pictures. the dates, content and everything doesn't make sense. Can we do anything to get rid of it? I think its a phishing site design to get people to join,they might use the same password as their email and thus the sites creator can access their email ? . I think they did the same thing with fallout a few years ago too.

really poor. The thing that tip me off was all the users seem to be cute girls and the dates didnt match the content.

 

the site is

gameskyrim (dot) com

 

sorry if this is the wrong forum for this kind of thing but it boils my blood to think some bottom feeding scum is using a great game like Skyrim to scam people

I have Norton Internet Security and I Googled this, it shows OK on Safe Web on ALL issues, how ever it may just be so new it hasn't been updated\ reported... But no way am I going on there to prove Norton wrong!!!

Besides there is a ton of established and very trusted sites for content...

I dont think its a dangerous site to views, but something is fishy about it, maybe the group behind it hope that people will use the same password to join as the their email account.

Here is a thread I found about a similar Fallout sight with the exact same layout

On this forum people claim just took posts from the bethesda fallout forums and reprinted them there with fake user names and photos gleamed from bot trawls of the internet.

maybe you need to use a credit card to "verify" your identity or its a pay site?

 

really fishy stuff
