Suspicious activity on captcha?
« on: August 05, 2014, 12:13:52 pm »
Today when I clicked my daily email link I was taken to the FC page as usual. But instead of a code to enter it said that suspicious activity was detected and that I would have to reload the captcha. So I did and it worked fine. Weird, anyone else have this happen?

No, but I frequently experience times when the submit button does not work, which is especially frustrating when I have to go through another 30 minutes to get any credit (and sometimes it happens again).

Yes, the same thing happened to me today. I just chose to get a new captcha and everything went well. Glad to know it happened to someone else. Thanks for posting.

I've been getting that same message every now and then also. I just hit refresh and am given a code to input. I'm guessing it might have to do with frequency. As FC members we use a lot of captchas! :)

It happened to me again today. I wonder what would cause this. Does anyone know?

It hasn't happened to be since, but I'm still so confused as to why it happened in the first place, or why its still happening to you hkckk5.

Thanks for your concern Kay. This is day 4 for this. It continues to happen. I ran a security scan on my Norton software and it said I had 27 threats today and it resolved all of them. This is getting to be annoying. Have a great weekend.

It seems that I have that message every day.

I just ignore it, and keep doing as usual.

Please do not answer their question. They
are phishing. I wish we could stop them.

I have been getting that message for the last two or three days. I have been ignoring it and just clicking on the captcha symbol, getting a captcha and typing it in.No problem.  All goes as it should and I get my credit.

I have been getting this message for almost a week now. I just ignore it now and click to get a new captcha. Seems to work every time and I still manage to get credit. Glad to see that I am not alone, though.

I'm glad to know other people are getting this same message, and it is not just I.  The first time I saw it, I didn't know what to think, but after I discovered that I could just click for a new capture code, I haven't worried about it since.  I agree with nadette.  It's probably someone phishing.

It hasn't happened to me since I posted, but is it still happening to any of you?

I have not had that to happen to me here but on another GPT site I was on said "you appear to be a cheater, we detect superstitious activity".  I just assumed that it was because I had not restarted my computer from the previous day. So I sent them an email stating that and all was well after that.
