Why do the people who are trying to sell Themes in the store link their demo pages to sites that produce pop-up windows?


Three times while I was shopping for a theme today, I had to ctr-alt-del and end task for pop-ups that would not close. All three times the pop-up claimed to be a security alert urging me co call a support number so they could fix my computer. And all three times these pop-ups came from clicking on a demo theme link.


Very annoying! I would like to think this is unintentional and link has been hi-jacked. At least I hope that's the case.


All the same it makes me very uncomfortable providing any credit card or paypal info to this site.


Can anyone shed some light on this?
