We've had the site taken down!

This does not mean the site wont come back on another host, so still make note of everything I have said in this thread for the future, but for now...

MASSIVE Thanks to Cpt.S for speaking on my behalf to the host as I couldn't from work and helpling me bring the site down!

Thank him here -->

Old Information. Please still make sure you read this in case the site ever returns

It has been brought to my attention this morning by Cpt.S that a mass of users have been going round posting links that look like real NGU links, but are NOT and instead are to a similar address that is a phishing site.

DO NOT LOGIN TO THESE SITES!

A phishing site is designed to look like the real site, but has the sole purpose of getting your details!

The URL that they are using is the [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] (with an added S)

This could easily trick someone not paying attention and looks just like the real thing. Make sure you always check your links and if you're in doubt - Don't login!

If you see any users doing this REPORT THE THREAD AT ONCE, if you're in the Shoutbox, warn a mod/admin straight away so we can get on and ban the user. If you login to the site by accident, contact myself or another admin to get your password changed straight away! If we aren't about a mod can temp ban your account till I can get on and change your password.

We will do our best to get this removed without harming any of you guys, but we need you to use your head as well!

UPDATE

The site is down

Thanks,
Gobs

Thank you gobble! This just proves that we need more mods, They were posting for 40min while me and smelly just reported all of them while no mods were on.

No problems. Thanks guys for getting the links to me and making sure that you left messages on all the threads. Like I said, we'll do our bit, but without you guys it could have gone unnoticed for a lot longer!

I really don't get why on earth people would try and take accounts to a site that is already free to sign up to.

Also if they want premium accounts they could have just saved money from not buying the fake website and hosting and just bought it.

Its not that expensive.

You should be fine but why not change your password if you are feeling a bit paranoid.

The top links on the fake website actually point you to our site that's why. It's just them trying to make it look more real, so you should have been fine.
