Jealous that Horus is Warmaster





London, UK

Hello there,

I just had my first experience at the wrong end of a phishing website. How fething annoying are they?

It was for a ESTA application to travel to the US too! Thankfully it was on a work CC. Still, I feel a little stupid for falling for one though. Luckily enough I caught it in time with the bank, but man alive, I can see how dangerous they are.

The funny thing is, the work firewall didn't pick it up, but my home PC did. - I am more protected than my company! Upside, - I have now got my permission so CA; here I come!

Any other horror stories about these nasty little sites??

I know someone who claims he caught a 60 pound carp. But he has no pictures. It's all seems a bit phishy to me.

This thread is awful.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

Those phishing websites are made by people with no soles.

I really hope I don't flounder into one.

The word 'phish' sounds identical to the word 'fish'. I find this amusing.


Am I doing it right?
