Wow , just wow. If you made the password field with the **** it would have been more realistic. The counter is at 333. There are many sites out there doing the exact same thing , but actually using your information. Some are coping paypal or other payment processors , they make the site look exactly the same. If you have security software you should be notified that its a duplicate site. I have seen this a few times and got notified. If you dont have such software , you need to check security certificates , or make sure your at the right site. Some make the domains very similar with just one letter different. This gave me an idea about a post i will write up sometime. Thanks About 90% fell for this ? Wow , just wow. If you made the password field with the **** it would have been more realistic.

I often use pagerank to determine how credible a site is, but even that can be faked. That is a very interesting social [media] experiment.

I wanted to see how many times people would refresh. A lot did. The number inside was a counter not based on IP.
