Please don't hyperlink scam websites.

Not a scam webaite exactly, although the typo in the url ("bnak") would make you think so. Seems to be a completely unprotected electronic currency relying on a "a self-policing feature for users to red flag questionable advertisements or products" (from a related website, oswift<dot>com).

Very strange.

I didn't click on it, just figured from the url. That is...strange.

And to the OP, I just meant don't make a clickable link.

Maybe it is a scam - just not the one I thought it would be. Maybe it's more like - "Hey! I bought my Swiftcoins 3 days ago, where are they?" type thing.
