He posts an article that says: "Half of people click anything sent to them" and then expects us all to click on the links he posted.

Hands up everyone who fell for it, and now regrets their decision?

[Tricks]

Know lemonparty, and I assume rickroll?

[raydan]

Not exactly sure why, but I smelled a rat as soon as I saw the Lemon Party link.

There's no way it won't always be hilarious if it's a re-direct straight to the lair of the goatman. The laughter begins after the screaming (and possibly the vomiting as well) stops.

I thought about a tinyURL link to Tubgirl, so as not to be obvious. But I thought that might be cruel and unusual.

But judging by the number of people who recognized "lemon party". . .

And yes Tricks, A good old fashioned Rick-Roll.

No idea what lemone party is, and a video on the topic doesn't hold my interest. The links just didn't look that relevant, so you didn't get me. Doesn't mean I won't click on most links on this forum if the subject interests me, and always wonder how safe that really is.

And that's how phishing, trojans and other scams work. They pose as something you might want to look at. But, really, you don't.

What if I posted:

Would you click that? You probably shouldn't though.
