Hmm then what can I say my bank never sends emails to anyone personal or not, maybe thats why it has the less phishing scams than others.  The ones I have seen lately are identical to a major bank here and it pulled in hundreds of people, so professional looking emails are the norm for phising criminals nowdays.

Quote - Fake emails from banks and EBay, Amazon.com and other places like that always start, "Dear Preferred Customer" or the like.

My bank always addresses me personally. :)

I am always leery of emails to begin with and won't open or click anything unless I know where it comes from for sure. lol

As far as I know no bank Sends personal emails to customers worldwide if yours does then it would a world first.  As for PayPal they don't send personal emails, they will ring you up if their is something fishy or wrong with your account.  The Phishing criminals count on people thinking online banking and money transfers are safe mediums.

My advise is the following ignore all emails asking for personal information from Banks, Transfer Websites and the like.  They dont do business this way.  And if y0ou see any in you Inbox at Renderosity use the report spam button immediately as the ladies in the office will nuke it fast.

Quote - Every time i got an email from PayPal i am not expecting I forward it to spoof@paypal.com and thet take care of it :-)

to get further info on the site you click on MacAfee Site advisor it takes you to their page for the link and it will show you why this place is dangerous or why not to leave an email address for them.

You know I keep forgetting about that nice and critical part of posting
As I have comments on I seem to be blind about that bit, but I don't go out of my way to say something bad, only one when it was blatantly obvious they were using shaders and not lights and not telling people lol

Put my nose out of joint as when you render for a vendor with shaders it hides all the bad skin mats, makes me so angry so I usually tell people what lights and shaders I use, for me thats the only thing that rubs these days.

As for the rest, I can remember my first render, and all I can Say Is OMG, lights are your freinds, find the right ones and your artwork shines :)

I stick to that rule thats why I refuse to comment and gush like 3/4 of the people on this place.
I will never go out of my way to hurt a complete stranger for no reason its rude.

Oh I see its a gripe to tell the truth here lol

Quote - Sometime I wonder if the artwork is really being looked at anymore!  It seems EVERYTHING posted is AWESOME these days!   I see comments like GREAT RENDER and its a photograph...huh?  It's like we're turning into comment robots...it doesn't really matter what's posted anymore. A photo of a pile of dog crap...50 comments! :blink:  People have there FAVS and get their li'l email BOTS and have to post....kinda like Pavlovs dog...ding ding ding! 
 

I totally agree with you, the way people lie here is outragous, I see comments like outstanding work and its horrible, there I said it lol

They play the how many artists they know game and its sickning I only comment on work that is actually pleasing to me, not to the followeres or GORGREOUS and such like comments when I say outstanding you can bet you last dollar it is lol

Makes us not have many friends here but who cares, I dont want to know anyone that plays that game its pathetic

Or you get the ones that gush omg this is goregous and fawn all over each other, I think this is more sicker than what you described. LOL

Its stopped now but after the site was hacked the emails for malware spiked
They have now gone back to plain spamming.

Fake online Groups some were Graphics sites that don't exist hence the warning, you may remove this post now.

Good luck to him then

Thanks Stacey :)
