Don't go there

So, whose site do you think the above image comes from? No, definitely not from Linden Lab. Over the last week there have been a number of accounts (all apparently now banned) that have been spamming out a link to this site, or links that direct to it. We assume Linden Lab is even now sharpening their pens for cease-and-desist letters, based on use of trademarks alone.

The site itself contains some material that might not be safe-for-work or suitable for those under 18. The majority of content, however, is probably not safe for anyone much, really. It's a sub-site of a site that involves imagery that is quite definitely NSFW.

It's one of those fill-out-surveys-to-get-Linden-Dollars sites, and we've yet to see one that wasn't some sort of scam -- so we've got no reason to believe that this isn't also one. Given that, we cannot recommend that anyone give this site a try.

I was spammed by these people, but by the time I got to writing an AR, the account that sent it had already been disabled.

Twice spammed and twice AR filed with Robin Linden's name. and a note on who it was and why I used Robin's name.

The only way to stop them is to get them IP banned and that needs people to still AR them despite the Register-Spam-Cancel path.

Jay: Yep. I AR'd them anyway; used my name and said why. Next time I'll use a Linden -- good idea which I didn't think of.

I did remember to go to Linden land to AR them, just in case it got shunted to my estate owner if I'd reported it on private land.
