A misspelling could cost us loosing our account.
Everyone knows the address of official EU website - www.entropiauniverse.com
But today a friend of mine who wanted to visit the page, made a small misspelling. He entered www.entropiaunvierse.com .See the difference in letters? on the page everything's the same.. except some particulars.If you want example - open both pages and check the headings.
Moreover, on that ''fake EU page'' we're able to log on our account. It's simple mechanism - it's possible cause fake page sends information to ''real'' page. (of course after getting them down)
Great thing to steal passwords from unawared users.
Friend did some further investigation - the server is located somewhere in Chile.
He sent a support case, here is the answer he got:
Hi,
Our website is called www.entropia-universe.com. You should always be careful when surfing the web.

Entropia Support
Friend has Gold Card, so nothing bad could happen at all.
This is just future warning (and prove of MA's rashness).
Regards..
