I sent a PM to the admin. I think it is an issue with the ad service he is using.

I had the exact same thing happen to me this morning Needless to say it was a bit disconcerting...

Ironically, I had just completed a periodic full 5 hour long full scan during the night to check for any bad stuff potentially lurking in my computer. Clean bill of health.

Then, first site, first click, and *boom* we get professional nether regions being violated up close and personal right in yer face, instead of windshield installations, and what tires last longer, lol


A few hours later, I get a bizarre robotic voice mail left on my phone, purportedly from the CRA Income Tax Fraud division, with "Officer Robertson" demanding me or my attorney return this call immediately, or penalties and blah blah blah will cause much grief and general mayhem to my life, liberty and pursuit of happiness" etc. (paraphrased)

I Googled the phone number, and sure enough, it had already been reported as a new scam trying to trick people into paying a fee using their credit card, to prevent massive fines or jail and so on, thinking they were in trouble with the tax man.

Sheesh, what a world we live in :/

As a general rule, a taxing authority will always contact you in writing. They don't even use e-mail for letting you know that there is a past due bill etc. These scammers pay someone by the hour to make the call and then you get forwarded to the professional scammer if you call them back. I received a few of these last year and laughed my *** off. I am a CPA. So, I knew it was crap. However, I have heard of people falling for this, which sucks.
