won 2 logitech webcams


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure, as other people have mentioned the domain isn't registered to MS and it really does look quite fake if you think about it, although that email did look rather authentic.

The site is missing any copyright, terms of use or trademark info usually found on MS sites, it also doesn't use the .NET Passport Service to handle sign ins which is out of the ordinary and it generally has a very fake feel to it.

Also note how the page looks back on itself rather than presenting a new page which could mean that all attempted "logins" are rejected and passwords logged. Also, even if this is real, which for all I know it could be, just a non-official-looking MS site, be aware that Opera does not prevent all types of phishing, in fact, will only protect you against common types of phishing and you should always exercise common sense and caution without relying solely on Opera.

Best of luck.

EDIT: Ok, just looked above, does indeed look legit, sorry must have missed that post. Bit about phishing and Opera still stands though :yes: :)
