Forum URL: (private)
I support a premium forum where we've paid for ads to be removed and a custom URL. In a recent discussion, a member posted links to several Fiverr profiles. When anyone clicks the links, Viglink hijacks the page load, attempts to add the affiliate information, then redirects to the main Fiverr page instead of the correct target. This happens to all users, so it's not something installed on someone's computer. Pasting the URL directly into the browser's address bar opens the correct page.
Target URL: www.fiverr.com/xsamdesigns
Affiliate redirect: redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_161299703403117&key=71fe2139a887ad501313cd8cce3053c5&libId=kkzzte3t0102ylrr000DLmmmua3zg&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fscambaitingforum.com%2Fthread%2F713%2Fpromotional-video&v=1&out=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fiverr.com%2Fxsamdesigns&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fscambaitingforum.com%2Flogin%2FMx6xQpzzfizTZuy3afEm%2F101&title=Promotional%20Video%20%7C%20ScamBaiting%20Forum&txt=www.fiverr.com%2Fxsamdesigns
