[edit] Phishing template required
Phishing template required. I noticed at the article Jintropin someone had posted a phishing website http://www.gensci-china.com/green/e-jinsai/web.htm# in the external links, which mimicked the real website http://www.jintropin.cn/ . Notice that the fake website is using a Yahoo email account. I contacted them by email and they want the money tranfered to them by wire only. I gave a warning on the article talk page to people, but readers might miss it. I think we need a phishing template, no doubt there will be others on this article and other articles. thank you EnviroGranny 11:42, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
- If you find a phishing link, you should just remove it and warn the person who added it. Are you suggesting there should be a warning on the article that people might add phishing links? What's to stop someone from removing the warning when they add the link? I doubt it would have much deterrent value. —dgiestc 16:20, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- It should be placed in the external links the same as the commercial websites warning template. EnviroGranny 18:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

- I was thinking about the same thing as dgies, why tag something when you can just fix it up by your self, tags are WAY overused nowdays Af648 09:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
