    Seriously, if you don't know a member and don't know of him, I suggest not even clicking on any link period.

    Thanks mcfox for this information , sometimes we check header and directly move to given links but now we need to be alerted .DP accounts are very precious for webmasters those who knows how to use it .

    thanks

    thanks for the heads up.
    Didn't even know you could check links like that.
    usually if something is too good to be true it usually is..so i'm careful anyway.

    cheers.
