When I tried to register, it took me to: http://afoi.ru/ with an error message. I was dumb enough to go back to nutpic.at. This time I put down my email and password. However, the password is not my facebook password, but the one I use the most with online retailers!!! The email address is however my primary email address, but it does not match the password that I use the most. Am I making sense? If they got me, then they can get in my accounts in places like amazon, snapfish, etc. My question is how vulnerable am I at this point? I just got the same:

Here's what it said: _____________sent you a message. Subject: Hello "Check 151.im" The link it gave took me to a site that asked for my Facebook login info, which was a red flag, since the web address wasn't a Facebook one. Now the link takes me to one of a number of sites, like these: http://sabl.ru/ http://afoi.ru/ I don't know where they go after that, but FYI - beware! Just got one of these myself.

Seems like a DNS redirection... 222.im first sent me to 282.im, which appears to be facebook. This is not facebook, so do not enter credentials. The second time I tried to access 222.im, my router's Capcha security features blocked access to the redirection (all the while I was running my browser sandboxed just in case). The ip address of Facebook.com is 69.63.178.11 or 69.63.184.142, where as the website that looks like facebook (282.im) has an IP address of 213.182.197.235. 222.IM is hosted in Riga, Latvia. 222.im has an IP address of 213.182.197.235, and is also hosted in Riga.

It urges people to visit 222.im. That site is a FAKE. Don't go there and don't enter your facebook password on any site that doesn't show facebook.com at the beginning of the URL in the Location box of your browser.
