List the reason to avoid.....
The spam websites or FRAUD websites will try to take over our $$$$!
Spam websites will fit into these caterogires:
1) Offering to protect your computer for free?
2) Telling you you get free prizes for free
3) Telling you you won a lot of money for free
Notice, do not post the website itself!
First report:
Website: winspinwin.net/freespins.php?t202id=&sid=864df89ab78737e166df854a2e2cbb82&t202kw=16093_4664
Purpose: to win the prizes that never exist in first place ( Stealing address/credit card info )
Evidence:
Every reload, the slots is in same place.
Every time you have 2 slots left, you won the jackpot!
Every reload, there are only 2 stories of the winner.
winspinwin.net is ABOLUSELTY blank page.

"Site from where leaded: Youtube.com BY the FORCE against consist of the user" - This is most likely a problem on your end. Check your computer for malware? It's also possible that you mistyped 'youtube.com' and instead went to some site that redirected to the scam.
Also: It is silly to keep a list of scams we may run into. There are more of these than we will ever have the time to list here. People just need to learn basic safe-browsing habits.

you have malware installed on your computer from downloading something. the website popped up while you were browsing youtube(read: unrelated to youtube), and it is hilariously obvious that you've entered your details into the popup.
this thread is pointless but gives me something to laugh at.

Haha, yeah, seriously, if we sit here listing all the sites you shouldn't go to, we'll never get anything else done. Just use common sense, or if you don't have any, install Web of Trust or something.
And if you've been actually *using* a site like that, definitely check for malware. It's just a 10-15 minute job, just install Malwarebytes and run a quick scan. It's not comprehensive, but it'll get just about everything and it's a good way to check if you have any infection in the first place (if you don't know how else to tell). Make sure it's updated to today's date before you scan.

Aff avoiding viruses and scams is easy. Get Adblock and use Google Chrome or a mod of it like Iron. Then what you got to do is block lots of sites using the lists. Next download PeerBlock and download the ads list in it and the P2P list if you torrent stuff (blocks known feds and ip gatherers). Then get some common sense.

Here's an idea, use common sense when it comes to spending money and don't use Windows when downloading random shit from sketchy websites.
edit:
also, if you need this thread to tell you this shit, you're a fucking retard
