I'll contact Web of Trust and ask why they have flagged TBS with their lowest rating, and let you know what they say.

Looking at the domain on www.mywot.com yeilds some clues:

This domain or a related subdomain was detected as a confirmed phishing site in July 2011. It was listed at www.phishtank.com where you can search for it for more details.
Beware of links that look like a bank, but actually send you to a different site, for example www.paypal.com.04c7yrp021vk3.0038y5zh2o.a0puwqtog2.com  is actually the site a0puwqtog2.com - nothing to do with Paypal
bahost.eu/paypal.com/cgi-bin/usss/security/update-paypal is actually bahost.eu and nothing to do with Paypal
direct-certs.bankofamerica.com.IDSTKOI.COM/direct/certupdate/ is actually IDSTKOI.COM and nothing to do with Bank of America www.bankofamerica.com.srv_58204.gtiitii.net/customerservice  is actually gtiitii.net and nothing to do with Bank of America
Phish sites may later be cleaned up and made safe again, but owners need to improve their security to prevent reinfection. "


I personally think that this score is undeserving and the site is fine, it's just that a phishing site has been linked to the same IP address. This is itself doesn't mean that the owners of the site had anything to do with this scam.

KiwiTim: I see that the TBS online store, http://www.buydvb.net/  has a very poor trustworthy rating on the Web of Trust and that my Vipre Antivirus flags it is an unsafe site. Presumably, this is because people have been ripped off.

Is there another way to buy TBS cards other than through their website that has a good track record?

Tim


I bought my card from there in July, no problems at all.
