What's going on with thesims.com forums?
Every time I try to visit it, I get a message about being a deceptive site and a phishing attempt? I see no acknowledgement of the issue anywhere.
Forum Discussion
Hi, today I recently discovered that my Chrome browser has labeled the official Sims forum site as dangerous and has locked me out of it for my own security:
I had recently visited the forum earlier in the day and it was working fine, but then I revisited it again only 30 mins after my last visit and this popped up instead. It has been going on like this ever since the whole day and I read the details on why it was blocked off and it says that my browser has detected phishing scams on the forum. It also appears that a few others have also gotten this error as well when trying to visit. I'd like to know if the forum is ok? Has it been hacked? Will my account info be safe? Is EA aware of this?
I'm having this same issue. I've tried to visit the forums three or four times now and continue to get the dangerous site error/screen. The browser I'm using is Google Chrome. Is it safe to visit the forums? And why is this happening?
was curious and my google chrome does the same thing... why are the Ea sims 4 forums considered... "Deceptive"?
I'm having the same issue as well, even though I have been able to access the forums just fine the previous day.
My guess would be that it's an issue on Google's end? As I can access the forums through the Edge browser, so I'm just using that while I wait for a fix for Chrome.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the reports! Please, rest assured that visiting https://forums.thesims.com is safe - we are currently looking into what's causing this warning to show on Chrome browsers and Firefox not showing the page properly.
If you have another browser installed, like Microsoft Edge, Opera or Safari, you should be able to access the forums as usual 🙂

PS. Merged a couple threads together.
@EA_Mai
I just tried again and was able to successfully view the site on Firefox.
Please share my thanks to the team for fixing this issue.
