Phishing is the criminal process of attempting to steal sensitive information such as user-names and passwords by disguising as a trustworthy website. The only clear identification of a website is its URL.

Before entering your Login information, we strongly suggest to ALWAYS check the URL.

Please note that RapidShare.com will never ask you to validate your account by Mail, nor will we ask for verification information without a support request being processed.

What do I do if I find a person with a "phished" link, and what happens to them?

- Report, Report, Report. Once reported we will remove the topic from public view and most likely the person will be BANNED. Thats right, no warning, BANNED.

Is it only Rapidshare phishers?

- So far it has only been for rapidshare accounts, but that does not mean its only for rapidshare. People will most likely phish for other popular uploading site accounts, so beware.

What happens if I get 'phished'?

- We can only TRY to prevent it, but we are not responsible if you fall for it. If you loose your account, though, contact RS, MU, whatever and see what they can do. If you feel like you have entered your info in a fake site, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD IMMEDIATELY!

Remember, we need to get rid of these guys as quickly as possible, and the staff are kicking it up a notch to take care of the reports as soon as possible.

If you can get the url to the fake RS page turn it in here http://www.cybersnitch.net/cybersnitch.htm and it will be given to the FBI that way.

Using code tag when posting your links prevents rapidphishing
