Warning Rapidshare account users !!!

Look below what I've received a few days ago....I didn't do anything more than you

do guys with a premium account, meaning.....everybody download movies, music,

pictures, TV shows, etc...
I had a premium account for 1 1/2 year now. That SUCKS !!! I'm gonna subscribe to

Megaupload, I think it's safer. It was just to warn you guys not to pay for a 1 year

account with them, you may lose your money like I did

F**K you Rapidshare

hmmm..... intresting..

Wow, this really sucks .. your account's really beein canceled?

I don't understand why they're doing this.. they make 95% of their profit with not 100% legal ( ) content ...

In short : your account was hacked and the person who hacked it sent you that email.
Try to contact rapidshare directly to see what they have to say about it.

Yep, i think your account got hacked and the hacker has sent you a faked message!

When I click on a rapidshare link, they ask me to enter user name & password manualy. Once I've done that, the screen says "ERROR"..."The Account has been found, but the password is incorrect...."

EDIT

Ignore this.

The other posts say it all.

YEEAH
SAME SHIT WITH ME

WTF?!?!
Any ideas?

This happened to me also. Solution-write to rapidshare support and you will receive a reply. Your password can be changed and everything will be back to normal. Evidently some passwords have been hacked but I don't know how. It could have happened by logging in to a dummy site like rapidshit or some such.

There is a sticky about Rapidshare phishing at the top of the video forum.

I bumped into some phishing threads in another forum. It sucked too, because I really wanted to see the video.

It gives you an error message When you chose "premium" at download and sends you to a login at the bottom. Never log in at the bottom of the page.

This Image gives you an example of the Phishing "fake" Rapidshare link.





If you see a "fake" link in the forum, report it so that it gets deleted from the forum.

If you get phished, login in the right place and change your password, if you still can.


The following came out of another forum.

I sent an e-mail to rapidshare an hour ago I'll see what's goin' on in the next days.... Thankx

and please.. keep posting us the information you get from RS

There is more than 1 sticky about phishing. On some days where industrious phishers put in a full 8 hours, I would estimate that 1 in 3 new threads here might be phishing attempts. So my guess is that you did not pay close enough attention and you gave away your login info to a cleverly designed page that looked very much like a real RS page. Then once they got into your account, they changed your password and sent you an email designed to make you react exactly as you did - blame RS and decide to just move to another host, leaving the phisher with free access to a stolen account for the remainder of your membership term.

1. Read the helpful stickies that mods and others have created for your benefit. If you don't bother to do so, you really have no one to blame but yourself if you get careless.

2. Report phishing attempts when you see them. Nothing is more irritating than to see a new post with 50 views and open it up to find it to be a phishing attempt that no one has bothered to report. Help fellow members - the faster phony links get reported and removed, the fewer members will see them and potentially get fooled.

If you mouse over a link without clicking you can see whether the actual link (not the visible text for the link) is really for "rapidshare.com" or one of the many similar domains intended to pass for rs.com at a quick glance (like rapidslnare.com, where the l-n combo might pass for an h if you don't look closely enough). Also, beware any redirect links that are hidden in what appears to be a rs.com link according to the text. Many posters legitimately use anonymizing redirecters, but they never hide the redirection - the posted links will show the actual destination of the hyperlink. Any time the text and the hyperlink do not match, beware.

if i were you i would look at people who are proposing to swap/sell rapidshare accounts,


there are some sad f-cks about,

....further more,


i recently lost over 20 gigs of files on rapidshare, and not happy about it, takes alot of effort to find/download or rip/ split/ grab images/ upload and then post and lets face it 99% of us dont make any money from it,


or do we?
