Railfan Technology > Trains.com website redirects to Amazon phishing site (iOS Safari)Date: 12/27/17 22:34 Trains.com website redirects to Amazon phishing site (iOS Safari) Author: ShoreLineRoute Hello all,
I noticed a few days ago that when I try to access Trains.com that my Safari iPad browser gets immediately redirected to an Amazon phishing site (fake gift certificate award). This doesn’t happen for other Kalmbach sites such as Model Railroader. I don’t dare try using my PC’s browser there anymore due to malware risks. I’ve alerted Kalmbach to this problem, has anyone else experienced this?

Try that. You'll get to trains magazine. John. Date: 12/28/17 20:36 Re: Trains.com website redirects to Amazon phishing site (iOS Saf Author: trainjunkie On my iPad trains.com automatically forwards to trc.trains.com
No issues. Date: 12/29/17 08:58 Re: Trains.com website redirects to Amazon phishing site (iOS Saf Author: ShoreLineRoute Thanks for the feedback! I’ve seen reports of this exact problem from other iOS users, it may be specific to the iOS 11 update, my iPhone on iOS 10 doesn’t do this. Strange that this issue only affects the Trains website and not any of the many other sites I frequent though.

It works fine on my iPad with the latest IOS.
