Suspicious Activity Warning in captcha
« on: July 27, 2014, 10:07:37 am »
At first this only happened in RadioLoyalty once the captcha loaded and when I read a few things about making sure the page loaded properly and such, it hasn't appeared since.  However, I just did my PTC and got the same thing when the captcha appeared. 

Anyone know what this means?  I'm worried since I've seen it three times or so but there aren't many details about what it means.

That's odd. I've never had that happen.

I had this happen today(never before) on the captcha for my daily e-mail, I hit the refresh for a new one and it was business as usual.  Everything was normal when I did PTC after that.  It was weird but I didn't want to click on anything on the captcha screen as I was worried that it was some sort of phishing or virus thing.

Yeah, it sorta freaked me out.  I hit the refresh like appy said and it let me fill it in, so I don't know whether that's a good thing or not.  Does anyone know what this is?  Is it a FC thing or is it the captcha provider giving me this message.?

I got the same thing and didn't dare click on it. I refreshed and got the normal captcha.

I saw this with both  Radio Loyalty and the FC daily click and email.  I didn't like the message and the options provided.  While it might just be an ad for some computer security service, I didn't trust it.  Every time it comes up, I refresh the captcha until I get one that I feel comfortable responding to.

I had the same Suspicious Activity Warning in the Captcha code yesterday.  I refreshed and got a new one.....but messages like that make me nervous too.  If a computer security service is using that as an ad to get business, I think they are missing the boat.

I got one today that asked me to input my email address, but I'm not that stupid.  :glasses-nerdy:

Will this is werid?  I have heard of it on RL, but this is the 1st time I heard of it on PTC or daily email.  FC should look into this. ???

I haven't seen this and hope I don't.  I don't know what 'suspicious activity' I would have done.

Oh, I got that one today, too!  Afterwards, I sent in a support ticket to FC.  Never happened before today!  I'm curious to see what their reply will be.
