I just teased in my News Roundup that I would be following up on this story from Russia Today about a russian supermodel who has been named the world's best dressed woman by Harper's Bazaar.
Well, on some of these stories I like to do a little rudimentary investigating. Not to any real depth, just a little peek around to see if there's anything interesting there. Oh boy, was there something interesting this time!
Russia Today showed a photograph of the model and creditied it to a site linked here. Now, this looks like an official-ish site, but there's nothing definite to say it is. Lots of pictures are on the site, and every one of them is linked to a page called free.html.
I refuse to link to that page directly, as having examined it for myself, it is revealed to be a page that wants you to sign up for a selection of porn sites.
And what of the other sites that are linked to hers? Most of them are exactly the same. Now, if these are official sites, and these models agree to having their sites linked to this porn site, then fine. But if not, then I wonder if they would be very happy to have their names linked to porn.
Either way, websurfers, a gentle reminder, be aware that not everything is as it seems on the outside. Know which sites to trust, and stick with them.
