All the best,
High End Systems Discussion Forums
The website e.t.c seems ligit however when i googled the URL above it came back as a dodgy site with information saying that this is spam and that there is someone using various different forums to attack people in this way, 5 or 6 people at a time. Anyone else had this or is it totally ligit? When i went into my private messages inbox through the forum instead of through the url in the email, there were no new messages in there? Seems sus to me.... If it is indeed a hoax, is highend aware of it?
