Me too, twice. A person with no posts whatsoever with a link and no explanation sounds fishy to me.

Got it too. If you view source on the page, there is a script called "LiveInternet counter" at the bottom of the page with a button - both the url and button image are on .ru domains. I don't see anything in the javascript that can infect anyone by just viewing the page but who knows these days. Just FYI.

I got one as well... "It" just joined WIX on August 9th, has made no postings, and no, I didn't click on the link... This is pretty insidious! Nathan, you had better scour your computer with a good anti-virous package, because you no doubt have been hacked. It may be even more insidious than that... so be careful what you use that computer for. I never click on anything that doesn't come with a proper description.

Got my two too. Don't mess with my two too. Bet it's days like this that take the glamour out of being a big time WIX moderator, eh Ztex? :lol:

Glad I didn't click the links like you other dummies. :hide:

Instead, I did something way stupider last week. And I'm not telling what is was, either. :Hangman:

Found two in my inbox this morning......................I hope this doesn't start something bad in my computer as WIX messages are about the only ones I trust enough to not immediately hit the SPAM icon instead of opening if I don't recognize the person or sender.

Put me down for two copies so far! Like a dummy, I clicked on it, but it didn't seem to go anywhere, do anything and my virus scanner didn't react.
