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 all right!
