www.LovelyMovies.com is a scam

This one happened to my friend. He was directed to go to www.LovelyMovies.com to get the password of some file but never received it. Instead he was redirected to some online selling site.

If you are redirected to obtain passwords of some protected files to www.lovelymovies.com, be sure that you won't get it. It is a scam to get you to online shops under the reference of this site.

I checked out this site to find what it was doing. I did this in a sand-boxed Firefox running on a virtual machine to ensure that my computer will be safe.

This site first shows up a page saying that the password is saved in a secure location and it is being retrieved and the site will serve you with the password in no time. But when you click the enter button, you will be redirected to a survey page and asked to fill in a survey.

If you aren't a person who backs out, you will find that the survey is not actually a survey, it is a link to a online selling site. In my case I was redirected to snapdeal.com.

And this was a dead end. Only thing you could do is close everything. You won't get any passwords thats a surety.

What to do.

If you see anywhere that you need to go to www.LovelyMovies.com to obtain a password, just delete the file.  And never go to that site because god knows what scripts are hiding in that site.
