Possible computer virus risk / Scam
I'm posting this here since it is not exactly a "Ripoff Report". This might be obvious to most of you, but I thought a warning was still in order.
I've come across several ads on BackPage where the advertiser has a clickable link which states "Click here to view all my pics". [B][I]Do not click the link![/I][/B] The link purports to direct to "http://www.qcowldw.com/?tracking_id=11424" which was warning #1. Clicking the link causes your web browser to attempt to download "Pictures33kc.scr". SCR files are script files. Script files are notorious methods of installing viruses, malware, or allowing others to take over your computer remotely.
These ads look like scam ads in any case. The advertiser's "location" is indicated as points all over the state. There is no phone number and only one picture. And, the "[B]Reply:[/B] click here" link also leads to "http://zrvnwhn.com/?tracking_id=11424"
Please stay away from these ads.
Here is a link to one such ad:

Outcall only is a big red flag to me, but check out the link.
