Beware of scams and pirate sites—as if you weren’t careful already

Beware of a web link called “meistercremeshop”. I clicked on it because the site seemed to be offering my book for free and it tried to download and launch an app onto my computer—fortunately my security isolated it. I suspect they are advertising lot of things to get people to look at their site. Now I also understand that there is a legitimate web site in the Netherlands by that name that actually sells skin creme, or something. This seems like my click was hijacked . Anyway, don’t click on it if it returns from a search for my book and beware anything that advertises stuff for free—lots of scams out there.

 

Surf with care.
