Ok, I may be straying a bit too off topic here, and admin please delete if you think you should.
I found something a little strange, and it just set off my hinky meter.
I was doing a bit of random sleuthing, and admittedly was sleuthing somebody who is not a known POI (I will not post the name).
I'm not sure why exactly the person grabbed my attention (apart from being linked to a POI) but I decided to try and look into them a little further. So I googled their name to see if maybe they had ever been arrested for anything.
Instead I came across where they had obviously posted on a page (that looked like a dating site). I decided to click on it and see what the ad said. However, what came up was a bit of an offensive animation, and a message saying "This is not a dating site. WARNING! You will see nude photos. Please be discreet."
So I quickly got out of there.
But the NAME of the webpage bothered me. To me it sounded like a child photography page. So I took off the last part of the URL, and went to just the home page of the site .... and it is a photo page for maternity, newborn photoshoots.
It is all very normal, just nice photos of very little babies.
There is no VISIBLE link on the page to the creepy nude pic/not a dating site page.
But all you have to do when on the normal baby photo shoot page is add a /meet, and bam, you open up to the creepy site.
I thought this was a bit dodgy. If I owned a baby photography page, but was also interested in owning a "meet for non-attached sex" page" ... then I would at least have them on a completely different page.
I told hubby about it, to see if his reaction was the same as mine. I showed him the original nice, baby photos page, and then how that led to something very different. Together we made the decision to look where it took us, after the initial warning page.
Once you click into it, it is a page where "single mums and married women" post naked pics (of themselves) in the hope of finding people for random sexual encounters ... they do not want relationships, it is sex only. But I find it interesting that these are only single mums or married women (so obviously women who probably have children).
Now my hubby is a computer technician, so he knows his way around websites and tech stuff. He used a program he knows of that can search directories of a webpage (the scripting) and the link to the dodgy site doesn't show up on there ... so that means it is REALLY well hidden.
Oh, and the webpage is also an Australian based one.
Is this something I should maybe forward to crime stoppers? It may be nothing .... but it just makes me feel a bit suss.
