Help!!

---

Ok heres the thing. i was looking across the nets more exotic (porn) sites and i clicked on a link which for the first time ever makes u pay to view pictures! i dint realise this until after a few pics, and now i think they mite charge my parents the money. oh shite! wat shud i do! Panic. just because i wanna luk at women on comp i dont want my parents to pay for it (and then they will know for sure wat i luk at)

well lets hope none of the details were given off from ur computer !! and secondly it may not charge u for now chill (even tho its hard) and what will ur parents say??

listen the only way they can charge you for it is if you gave a credit card number, or if you filled in a sheet to view it. unless you've done some stupid shit like that then no you will not get charged.

the only way they can do that is if you give them your details or if you installed a dialer program in which it will be on your phone bill.

i clicked on a link which for the first time ever makes u pay to view pictures!That is absolutely amazing. How have you avoided it for so long?> and then they will know for sure wat i luk atI'd think they'd assume you were looking at that stuff, unless they have some kind of content filter installed on the PC.H.p> if you installed a dialer programThat's only an issue if you dial-up your Internet connection.

rite first time i clicked on porn and knew they were gonna charge me! other times i was ignorant. ignorance is bliss! yup all laugh at me i have a filter on comp

You still haven't said how they are gonna charge you. What details did you give? If any....

i didnt give any. maybe im hiped up about what peeps can do to your comp just when u go onto certain sites

Well then as long as you didn't install anything you'll be grand.

seriously? u think? panic lessoned slightly when i found outh that: this is a site where just people get money just by their pics being clicked on. the site hoster pays em money. although highest i ever saw it go for someone, was when it said a really big number and then the person owning the gallery had earned only $9! so if all is well only a couple of pence is made with each click. so my question is, if site hosters cant make money without your details, then how come they have these websites, where a click gives the company money and they pay the person who provided the pics? phew...... anyone get wat im on about? or shud i just no luk at porn?

It's advertising. Commercial sites pay people to put clickable ads on their sites so they reach more people. Sometimes there is a (very very tiny) payment per view of the ad; usually there is small payment for each time someone clicks on the ad. When someone clicks on the ad they are then taken to a site where they are tempted with nice pictures and the promise of more and better to give their credit card details and sign up.

Sometimes the click-throughs make money in a more insidious way, getting you to give your email address which is then sold to spammers, or installing software on your computer that works for other people. (Never install any free software that you see advertised - it must be making money for the advertiser in some way that it's not telling you. Freeware at a reputable download place like tucows or download.com is different.)

Freeware at a reputable download place like tucows or download.com is different.True, but still, be careful.

Thank you all this has really helped, but i guess im gonna have to stay off the porn sites......... small price to pay but worth it
