I'm going to guess that the link in the email doesn't actually link to shutterstock.com. That's the way these things usually work: by providing a link whose text looks correct but which really goes somewhere else entirely.

So Why are you publishing the link here! So somebody can make a mistake and click on it!.

Yuliang: Please modify your post and put the link in a Code wrapper.

(i.e.)

Code:

http://www.somewhere.com

If they do, nothing bad will happen. Nothing.

(In the original message, the link went to a phishing website. Often these are on domains that might look legitimate to a casual observer, but will not be the same as the text you see in the message. In my mail reader, holding the mouse over the link will show the target, which will generally be identifiable as a phishing site.)

Yes , right. the url of the href is different. I'm just surprised this is happening to shutterstock and it seems only i am getting the message. it makes me think how unsafe the internet could be.

A couple of more users have reported the problem on the SS forum.

Has anyone called Rick? If we all call him a few times a day his life could get pretty miserable pretty fast. Wink
