Warning - SCARY URL SPONSOR

When I opened the Religion page today, at the top left is a link to

"Disturbing Horoscope
warning: very freaky scary"


While I donot believe in or check my horoscope, I wondered what couold be scary about one, so I clicked on.

That took me to a page that required birth details and also a cell 'phone number.

I was suspicious that letting them call my cell 'phone cold prove costly to me, as it is probably a premium number that makes a charge to my account.

I tried to close the page, but ti would not let me, demanding a cell 'phone number to continue.

I hit alt+ctr+ del, and was told that I could not end the program through my program manager because this URL was trying to contact me. This is nothing more than commercial fascism.

I collapsed all the web programs I had open.

Please be warned.

If anyone knows how to notify management of the kind of sites they are sponsoring, please let me know.

It is SCARY alright!

I've tried to reach AskMe Admin a few times over the past month, but can't get logged in to that area.

I glanced at the Member list and see that psi42 is one of the Moderators. Maybe he/she might like to hear about it.
