Makes me want to hack into the spoofers site and do some serious damage...too bad I don't know squat about programming.

There is a very clever one at the moment that opens a browser and fills in the address bar to make it look like you are at the official site of a bank - you aren't.

If in doubt right click on the page and select properties. For the Address(URL) you ought to see something like

http://www.talkbloodbowl.com/xxxx

If its not the real URL you'd expect then don't fill anything in!

Or how about remembering this

. Nobody from e-bay/paypal will EVER ask for ANY personal information throught e-mail EVER

. That's why they put up those annoying blurbs when you login to their site. I still find it slightly humorous that people will give essentially "bank information and pin number" over e-mail but would never do it over the phone inperson or in a written memo

. Brains people they are for more then just splatte4ring on bloodbowl fields

Geez, I'm almost glad I can't get a credit card!

Can't get nailed that way...
