| Topic | Scam ad (different site) |
| Uglyface2 07/26/23 5:50:31 PM #1: | I have no respect for any outlet that would expose their readers to a scam advertisement. In this case, I was reading an article about fat women stealing shoes from Burlington when my browser was redirected to another site and I got a popup claiming to be my antivirus software stopping a bunch of viruses. I'm familiar enough with tech support scams to know that it wasn't my software, so I closed the popup and the browser tab. Then I ran my own virus scan to make sure I hadn't gotten infected from the fake website. I tried to be a good sport about this and warn the original website, but their "Contact" link didn't work. Fuck them, I unsubscribed. What really pisses me off is that not everyone is wise to tech support scams, and this site likely draws an older audience that's completely clueless. I'd warn you lot against visiting, but I doubt anyone here visits the site. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
