I reported both posts in Wellness to the moderators.  Hope they can remove them soon.

@Rose429 

 

I do not know if they have a virus or not but I am suspicious of them.  We have had a lot of these brand new posters posting click bait here lately.😤

I try to be very cautious.  You should be fine if you did not click on the link.

I've had a policy for more years than I can count to NEVER EVER click on any link in a post anywhere.

 

These will either give your computer a virus or they are phishing scams designed to steal your info, or both.

I don't click on links in these forums, texts, emails, social media, or anywhere else. Never.

 

If something interests me, I'll find the source on my own and decide if I want to read or see it. Most of the time, I find sources to be bogus and tricks to set cookies or scams.

 

I investigated fraud for 20 years so I'm suspicious of almost everything.
