I clicked on a thread to read and the ad in the first post said my IP address had been chosen in THE NAME OF MY TOWN to win a prize and click for details. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON AROUND HERE?!

It is a scam, you must just simply restore your computer from its last checkpoint and it will go away. Good luck it took me a month to figure that one out.

They have your ip because you loaded the picture from them. Shouldnt be much to worry about. Those type of ads have been around forever

i realize this type of crap has been around forever. i did NOT realize it would be on a marijuana cultivation website.

But for what purpose? To see what there Internet provider is? Hell I'd post my ip address and it take them to my SP lol
