Re: Are you looking for eu-fx
First, the most immediate news. For anyone who saw a warning when trying to visit a review page or Performance Test page in the last few days, it was a false alarm. There was no malware on the FPA's site. The alarm was caused by an external site the FPA connects to. Google's Api site provides scripts for many websites. One of their scripts appears to have been compromised. That script isn't one the FPA uses.
This means that Google was posting warnings about us because some FPA pages are connected to a Google site.
Other happenings in December include...
At least one scam company continues to pay for Denial of Service attacks against the FPA. In December, they've been targeting the reviews more often than the forums. If you find an FPA page won't load, try again in a few minutes. If that fails, try again in an hour or two. Most of the outages don't last long at all.

Re: Are you looking for eu-fx
Tried to access the above link and I got a warning from my Chrome browser that this site contains malware. Don't know if it's a false warning or not. Strangely, although I have malware software installed, this is first time ever my browser has flagged up this warning for any site.
I have tried that link 3 times over the holiday and not once has it been reported by my Norton and it allows me immediate access and displays a Norton approved sign against it in Google listings
However, although it would appear to be erroneous it does at least prove that theoretically your protection is working
last year I got a report on a previously accepted site, further investigation showed that the server being used by the URL host was in a batch of servers which contained a website that had been reported for malware and other nasties, contaminating the credibility of all. the hosting company removed the relevent site and all is now back to normal.
a little unhelpful or are you suggesting I would post a link to malware

Re: Are you looking for eu-fx
Thank you for your posting. Yes, I am a victim also, but I have managed to contact another 7 people now, the losses to date are well over one million euros. As you may have realised by now, this is a total scam. If you would like to know more, please email me - I cannot say too much in an open forum.
