Thought I'd might pass this along regarding this site. It is a Phishing site that will obtain unauthorized confidential infomation from your computer if you do not have security in place. Once I got inforned by my security software I backed out. But proceed at your own risk. They may be using it for cookies and/or keep track of who's connecting to them. Look before you leap.

I'm on spring break until next week. Will be talking to you.

MGJapan, thanks for your note, but in the USA, you can't use the web without allowing cookies. We all know we are having our consumer habits watched, it goes with the turf. I used to buy prescription medications over the internet because I could get a better deal that way. Once the cookies sniffed out a blood pressure medication, I was inundated with prescription spam, not to mention Viagra. lol

Have a nice break. Frank

Frank, I understand about cookies and I did not get the warning for the other sites you posted just that one. Also my security will not respond to cookies. A Phishing site will pull information from your computer without your OK. I don't know why that site is set up that way but it is there in place. Maybe some others who have their computer protected like me can concure. I don't get that warning often but when I do I react. Just sharing what I know.

I only allow 1st party session cookies from the site I log into and once I log out I erase ALL cookies...I block ALL other cookies...if any other site wants cookies...I do my surfing elsewhere...

I didn't get a phishing warning from my security system (which I keep set on max.) relative to the kew site...this may or may not be related to the the internet route that one approaches the site through...
