I know the forum won't be up a lot longer, but I thought I'd report an issue I've been seeing in the past couple or few weeks.
Following links from email message notifications to the website occasionally redirect to an apparent scam website through possibly multiple redirects.
I've intentionally made the links not clickable in this post.
Usually (maybe always) I tap the website/reply link on an email when it happens. Certainly only happens with links from WaccoBB message notifications and seems random, though retrying seems to always work without the redirection, so maybe it tracks if the user has been redirected recently already and doesn't do it again... Has not occurred with any non-WaccoBB links or emails, or other web browsing of mine.
For example, it just occurred when I clicked "Website/reply" to a message with the following Website/reply URL:
https:// www. waccobb.net/forums/showthread.php?p=240440#post240440
The first URL in the redirect trail I was able to capture was:
https:// affiliates.natifico112.com/click?pid=1276&offer_id=2802&sub1=wacc#post240440
Usually I don't see that URL, because it redirects quickly and I'm using a mobile device, so I can't easily debug what's happening—but this time Firefox seems to have blocked loading it.
That URL redirects to (at least ultimately):
https:// abra-sua-conta.site/prela/8175b822/view.i?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftracking.alerience.com%2Foffer-camp%2F37a079fa-a52bf0fa-7aaaf991-ca2e-64b0%2F44c9a470-ee361232-8088694f-ad3e-51ef%3Ftx_id%3DD2021012409-b6480deba4cf4ab727d0afb6cfbf71f9%26offer_id%3Db2a38b24-47320aff-21a14415-a132-1311%26Subid%3D1276%26sub_pubid%3Dwacc
Which appears as follows:
50883
This seems to be the same site every time.
Is it possible something on waccobb.net or a service used by waccobb.net is causing this?
Thanks!! :waccosun:
