Word of Warning!

I woke up today and logged on to check my email, to notice I had two pm's waiting for me for what I thought was this forum. Bleary eyed I clicked on the link and it opened my inbox and there they were. Fortunatly I noticed the URL and it said fronteratech.com not fronteraowners.co.uk.

Killed my browser and ran a virus check and manually logged onto the forum and went to my inbox. They weren't there. I dunno if it was my computer (even though it found nothing) or wether someone is phishing (copying with a dodgy one so it can steal all your details), but I thought I should highlight it anyway. Easiest way to tell it seems is if the email you recieve says www.fronteratech.blah then delete the emails and go to the forum directly and check your inbox that way. Do not click the link provided

you must of signed up to another frontera site and forgot about it and they have sent a pm out twice :drink:

i got them they were asking for a £10 donation to the up keep of there site :twisted:

at least were free on here and as far as i know always will be unless you wish to make a donation :drink:

Nah ... it was identical to this one ... even down to the FOG symbol and layout. Either way I have nuked all the emails and fortunatly it seems I have avoided any unwanted and malicious software.

As some have suggested it might be a random thing but just wanted to highlight it just in case it happens to someone else who might not get ht worse.

That is an arm of frontera owners . org & their logo is virtually identical due to it being designed on here,there is some historical "bad blood" on the subject,also Steve1 asking for £10 per member for "site upkeep" is not a suprise to hear :roll:

Just been for a sniff round that site..
http://www.fronteratech.co.uk/ looks a LOT like this site.

Dont seem to like us much? As we all have a common interest - why the animosity?
Log in as a guest.. and go to... Board index ‹ Merchandise ‹ Stickers, Key rings < stickers

pathetic! have a read.. some of the technical bits seem to have been 'borrowed' as well...

The owner of that site was an admin on here a few years ago, he tried to hijack the site and brought it down for a few days and started his own site up, he was not happy with FOG because we would not lower ourselves to his money making schemes and scams, he was as you can imagine subsequently banned by the then owner Pete.

And I still have all the proof here :wink:

I would not be surprised if he is snooping around here in disguise collecting email addresses.

If you havent noticed I dont like him much :lol:

We are (FOG) a free resource and as long as the Admin and Mod team here are in charge it always will be free and we would not dream of sending out begging letters to the member who make us what we are with their own input..

SShhh he may be watching......

Oh actually, yes he usually does :dance:

Seconded

Cheers guys :oops:

And hello stranger :wink:

Cheers Pete, I heard about the 20L :roll:

Good to see you around

Cheers for the comments, you knew we would keep it this way :dance:

ah fronteratech i signed up to that forum i didnt realise you were not friendly i thought it was same people any way i got the pm asking for $10 an promise of no advert shame that i will be leaving that forum

Theres only one Frontera site worth bothering with and its this one.

i got the same email(twice lol) you can tell its a copy of fog but knowhere near as good,the muddy site though is pretty good and theres some good info to be found there,but what ruins it is a group of them slating this forum all the time,i dont know the history but even if i did i wouldnt let some plonker twist my mind.ive never heard the other forums get slated on here before so hats off for being more proffesional :wink:

some quotes i found funny

http://fronteratech.freeforums.org/portal.php Welcome to my community the resource for Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Frontera!

http://fronteratech.freeforums.org/poll ... -t419.html stick with the best ignore the rest and beware of imitaions

i must say this guy doesnt come across very well

Just took a look at their site and i must say it dosen't appear to be very friendly. Im glad google pointed me here first.

The only thing that bugged me was the pm for a donation telling me its not alot an i would be advert free other than that the forum was ok and when i questioned this site the reply i got was positive

Damn... i joined that site too, thinking it was like a tech side of this site!!
Cheers for putting me right and im glad i read this post now lol
Happy mudding all
