Free Proboards Premium Hosting scam

From ProBoards All Seeing Eyes

FREE PROBOARDS PREMIUM HOSTING (Admin Must Read)

There is currently a scam going round boards, someone posing as a proboards staff member is offering premium hosting, DO NOT accept the offer.

If PB staff were to offer the service, they wouldn't do it as a member, they have global access.

DO NOT give them your password or any other details.


Please pass on this message to any boards admins that you are a member of

thanks

Its strange how admins are now reconizing these things...

Also a few things more to be aware of...

-ProBoards can't be hacked, but can be cracked.

-Remember your ORIGINAL password when you created this board, that password shows the admins of ProBoards that you are the original creator. (So dig up those old messages)

-Also there are many so called threats going around, saying all of your images are ripped.

-If you get a bunch of messages in Chinese, don't worry, its a bot.

-Be careful on IMs or anywhere, people are personating PBS staff. The Staff will NEVER ask for your password.
