There is a web site attempting to trick you into thinking they are "PHOTOBUCKET".

They are "PHOTOBUCKET'S"

 What are they attempting to do, steal your ID by asking a lot of personal questions supposedly needed to set up an account with them?

 All I get by typing PHOTOBUCKET'S into Google is a series of news items about the real PHOTOBUCKET site's investors.  Financial news from the Wall Street Journal and others.  Nothing suspicious, so please provide a link to the sight you mention if it's something different.

Just tried the "suspect" site. My browser and security both refused to let me in there. Browser said there were three "pop-ups" trying to open, and two "redirects" trying to take control. Naturally I clicked the button to kill and permanently block that site. Unless you have a very good security program, I would suggest NOT going there.
