    Did you happen to take a screen shot?

    If not, can you describe how it looked exactly? Was it a pop-up?

    If so, it is very likely that your computer is infected with some kind of mal-ware, and you may want to check out Malwarebytes, and run a scan on your hard drive.

    Yah I know it was fake GM, but the pop up(Message box you get like for auto complete) happened while on this forum. I woulda screen shotted if I could.

    EDIT:I had left this comp running on the general discussion page all day.

    EDIT2:Additional info is that someone named SystemPWI on HT was pming a guy asking for his pass and email etc. I pmed him saying scammers will get banned. That is around the time I received this message on my Mozilla screen.
