* Really? Not in the other digital photography groups I'm in.

Paul,

We seem to be getting hit with this junk about once a week and each time I
remove the post, the member and ban the e-mail address but obviously they
keep coming back with new addresses.

Best to just ignore stuff like this and unless there is some accompanying
text explaining what the link is about, don't click on it. Since you did
click on it I would suggest deleting your temporary internet files, history
and cookies. Some pieces of "ad ware" or "spy ware" were probably downloaded
to your computer which I suspect is the point of the link.
