About the Win Big post above

Post by caithiggs » Fri May 20, 2011 10:56 am

Seriously, is there any such thing as either "astro.mysticboard.org" or "www.fb.com"? This seriously sounds like a big virus hoax. Is this just me? What's going on? I'm not clicking those links. I got an email too, and it looks ridic suspicious. Just let me know if this is like some kind of hack job or something actually going on. Not for my sake, since I'm not clicking unknown buttons, but for anyone else who might.

Thanks.

Hello,

It's not a hack job. It is genuine and sent by us :)

A good tip to verify if the URL is a hoax is to hover your mouse over the link and look at your status bar. If both match then it is not a hoax. If they don't then it is spam.


So now go ahead and "Like" us :) You have nothing to lose.


Regards,
Swetha

haha! I realize now fb goes to facebook--people had signed petitions about it and everything! so that they would have to type less! That kind of amuses me.

When things are worded a certain way, I become a highly suspicious cat! Thanks guys. I didn't go for it because I was away for a while though. But it definitely gave me a lesson in my own suspicions and paranoia. haha.

And thanks swetha! That is a good trick I never knew about before.
