Hey,

Hi i have a problem with the game i have captured a huge trophy buck with printscreen of the error, it has huge score but suddenly an error pop out in game. Here is my thread help me please:
http://forum.thehunter.com/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=35748

But it isn`t the thehunter forum but other site that look similar to thehunter:

When you log In at this site it will steal your account data.


So beware! And devs take him down! :D

I checked and the site is really trying to steal your account by making you log in again on their fake domain. On first glance it might even look convincing - if you pay no attention to the URL.

So don't get fooled and DO NOT CLICK on the link in the PM!

I got the PM and followed the link. Thought it was weird that it asked me to log in since I was already logged into the forum. Didn't type in anything or try to log in. No danger of account theft then right?

:S... Has all of you gotten the mail from NewBOY, or does he use several usernames? I just had a friend request and 2 pm's asking for help, though nothing with a link or anything. Could be a real person, could be a crook... dang... guess I need to pay extra attention.
