If you get a message from an MSN Messenger contact telling you about the website http://www.renkkimyasi.info/list, don't go to it or use it.

The "renkkimyasi" part might change.

The site redirects to http://www.msnliststatus.com which purports to be a tool which can tell you who's blocked you.

It's not. It's an account stealer.

Good advice here.

Firefox flags it as a phishing site. Never hurts to have a heads-up, thanks Commander.

The sender needs to change their MSN password.

Are you using an Anti-Phishing Add-On Extension for Firefox to do this?

Hmm, weird. I had a quote 'investigate' on it and Firefox popped up a warning balloon with a 'Get me out of here' warning. This morning it didn't do it.

Am not using the Anti-Phishing Add-On, it seemed to do it out-of-the-box.
