Author Topic: I possibly got phished by a phony Teamspeak site.  (Read 1585 times)

So the other day I needed to get Teamspeak so I could join the Tester chatroom for the Starmade Dev Livestream we were doing with MushroomFleet in the new Q&A.
I was in a hurry, and I had already dealt with Teamspeak before and found it to be a really crappy program compared to skype, with a hideous interface and website.
So I went to "teamspeak.us" to try and get the program, but I couldn't seem to find a download tab. Being in a hurry (the livestream was already starting), I went ahead and made an account, hoping I would be able to get to a download link that way.
Unfortunately, it did nothing, and when I asked for help on the Tester Skype Chatroom, I was directed to the correct site. Only then was I told by Comr4de and others that the site I visited wasn't legit.

So, i've got a big problem on my hands. I had put in all my personal information into the account I made, including my home address. I also used the password I use for all my accounts (i know, beat me over the head for being simple in that regard). So, I've reported the site to google and I've changed my BL Forum, Gmail, and Skype passwords (my tinypic password was already different so i should be fine there), and I also need to change my Starmade site password, but I can't currently as the website has a bug where there is no option to change your password.

So yeah. This sucks.

that's what you get for calling teamspeak "a really crappy program compared to skype, with a hideous interface and website"

Googling teamspeak and clicking the first result wouldve yielded better results.

You should fake your personal information. I haven't, in my 13 years of internet browsing, put my real personal information on a site.

the first result is teamspeak.us

You still aren't blocking ads yet?

are you serious OP
it says "teamspeak servers" like all over the page
you shouldn't worry that much, the site looks like a legit hosting service to me
the first result is teamspeak.us
that's because you actually visited the site before. google records when you visit a site.

no I haven't...? I hadn't even visited the real site before


How could you possibly think Skype is better than TeamSpeak

How could you possibly think Skype is better than TeamSpeak
exactly
teamspeak is for voice only and it's used for gaming. in skype you have to invite people to your call; teamspeak makes it so anyone can join
