  • Hi,
    Just had a 'phishing alert' on my PC, recommending I close this site down immediatley, as the site is noted as 'untrustworthy' and may be looking to find personal information!

    i am new on here and do not know who to pass this info onto to have the link removed...could somebody please do this for me before someone gets stung :(

    I have used the site before & so have others I know, not sure what the problem is but the website is fine so must be your PC :confused:

    I never posted it here, my website told me people were coming from here, so I came on to see what it was about.
    Sorry for the inconvenience.


    Oh no.. do you reckon all the competition people can see where we are linking from? :eek:
    :cool:

    It's always been a strong possibility BUT with so many winners on here anyway it certainly doesn't mean you won't win because of it, hope that makes sense.

    Oh cool, thanks for that. Never seen that alert before and got quite worried, through id better let folk know just in case...as nice as the soap is, didnt think it was worth getting hacked for ;)

    Glad about that, it had put me off for comping for a few minutes at least then!
    Sorry if I caused any trouble!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker
    Most websites have a facility to show where traffic has come from but unless they say something in their terms or actively block traffic from MSE they shouldnt really differentiate - after all its publicity for them which is why theyre running the comp after all
    If you keep getting phishing warnings clear your temps / cookies cache - that usually sorts it
    Happy with any wins this year :A
