Hello, recently staff have noticed multiple instances of someone trying to steal user credentials by using phishing sites in this subforum.
If you come across this scam the best thing you can do is report the thread and a member of the staff team will handle it accordingly.

How can I spot this?
Luckily this is very easy to spot.
Usually it's posted as porn.
The thread should look something like this: https://imgur.com/dmeJ6gt
If the thread has something to do with 'NitrogenSports' it's 100% a scam, more detail here: https://cracked.to/Thread-Staff-SCAMS-LI...am-scripts
If the thread doesn't contain what's mentioned above you can still look for a hyperlink over the mega file, you can see what page you will be lead to if you hover over the mega link.

You can see that's not a mega link but instead a link to the fake login page.
--
What does the phishing page look like?
The page is almost identical to the Cracked.to login page.
I strongly advise you DO NOT visit the page since it may grab sensitive information from your computer.
If the destination link doesn't match with the link provided, report the thread.

Help! I think I put my credentials into a fake page!
If you think you've done this then enable 2fa (Two-Factor Authentication) you can enable 2fa here: https://cracked.to/usercp.php?action=2fa
Afterwards change all your passwords, not just your forum password. This is needed because your forum password might be the same as another password you use off-site.

Stay safe.
