People spying on me!?!

Post by PilotDAR »

Bold text in the AvCanada header warns me that two people are spying on me! :shock: If I were paranoid, I'd believe it, and, seeing as the warning is only on AvCanada, not visit AvCanada again (so as not to be spied on!)

Would AvCanada moderators like to offer their assurance that AvCanada is not being used as a mechanism for spying on members? ('cause your header says that you are.....)

Hoping that this is not a concern, perhaps AvCanada should remove the statement from their header! Maybe replace it with a more reassuring message - "You're safe with us!"

Do not worry. This is what is called targeted publicity. Your IP address and DNS are being tracked to record the sites you visited, and the searches you did.
I see adds for Chinese women in Dubai all the time on this site, mainly because of my internet activity.
But the credit score add has me baffled, because I have no credit, and live with cash only. :smt040
The point is, that people should behave on the web like they would on the street, because every hit is recorded. Actually, in this part of the world, your internet or mobile activity is used to guide the drones to your house. :shock:

It's called advertising and the point is not to convey information, it's to get you to click on the ad. Basically you can assume that any claims made that falls under the category of advertising have nothing to do with reality.

Yes, that's right, you're being monitored - now take the articles of women's clothing *off*! :lol:

Do you have a smart phone? You're capable of being tracked there, too...

I use firefox and installed "adblock" so I don't see so many annoying ads on webpages. Some still but not as many. Highly recommended.

In that case, keep searching where to pick-up Chinese women on your Dubai lay-overs, which profiles you as neither a Taliban or a Islamic fundamentalist. Stay away from searches on where to pick-up Moroccan women on your Dubai lay-overs as it groups you with the aforementioned profiles.

Geez you don't need to search the web to find hookers in Dubai. Just walk in front of my building and you can take your pick: Chinese, Filipino, African, Russian, a zillion from Whatever-Stan...

Incidentally, the Moroccans are pretty famous - you can never bid and get a flight to Casablanca, they're always taken by the locals who LOVE to go there.

Me and some of the guys at homeland security were just going through a few of your emails.

You are being way to paranoid.

Those photos are my wife....

I see that two people are still spying on me. Now I'm wondering if they visit only in pairs, and if it's the same two people as before!
