Is this website safe?

Hello all,

I have used this company all the w's cbfsmsdotcom for years to send free text messages to family/friends when i have run out of credit.(which is often)

I never thought anything of it before but i was talking to someone at work and they said that the website isn't safe. I asked them why and how they knew and they just said "coz it's not" (helpful)

Just wondered if anyone else uses this site and whether of not it is safe. (safeweb norton says it is)

Just out of interest are there any other website where you can check a url before you visit a website.

Thanks in advance.

    No apparent problem with this site.

    WOT gives a green light (not always accurate but a good guide) and both Virus Total and Dr.Web Link Scanner are showing the site as clean.
