1. Why did you put up the link?

You don't have to actually send people there, you know. It was an active link, the opposite of what you should post if you're truly afraid something distasteful or dangerous is there.

:dunce:

2. Horsewithnn - are you phishing for free on DU by posting a link - hope it's not real?

3. Looks like you text-pasted the link and lost the phishing domain

The key is to see what it says when you hover or right-click and Save Target As. Then you can see where it was really going to take you.

4. That's nothin'! I got one from the IRS the other day.

Checked the link...it re-directed to a server in France!

I can't imagine anyone actually falling for that shit.
