Is "Reported Web Forgery! This web page at 69.73.182.154 has been reported as a web forgery and has been blocked based upon your security preferences" legit?
Yesterday my wife received a "Unauthorized Access Notice" email supposedly from alerts@citibank.com, which asked that the attached document be filled out with name, address, SSN, DoB, ATM card number and PIN , etc. Thinking it legitimate she filled it in, and clicked on "Continue", at which point the "Reported Web Forgery!" screen popped up with the URL in the question line above. When clicking on "why was this page blocked" she was taken to a Mozilla Support page entitled How does built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work? Is the Reported Web Forgery message legitimately from you and was the content of the form she completed blocked/destroyed, or is she now at risk of identity theft? In other words, was the "reported Web Forgery" page part of the phisher's scam, or is her information safe?

There is a good chance the form was never sent (I'm not sure how the form was submitted since I don't have the e-mail so I can't promise it wasn't sent) and so your information is safe, but you should still take steps to ensure that you protect your identity immediately, place fraud notices on your credit and debit cards, change your online passwords, pin numbers, etc. Remember that your bank will never e-mail you asking for your information, they have it all already, why do they need to verify it? Those e-mails are always scams.
