I just had a message appear in my junk folder from a site called ratephoto.org. The text of the message is:

ratephoto.org said:
Hi sorry for recieving this file, but someone has send your photos and videos at our site can you confirm that this is not your video and photos ??
I did a quick google on the site address, but there don't seem to be any comments or discussions about it online. The site itself looks a bit amateur and has an unknown WOT rating.

Anybody here come across it or know anything about it?

Yeah, you might want to get rid of the link in case anyone here clicks on it!

cheers for that, have added it to the list of blocked sites in the router, the registered owner seems to hide behind a PO box and uses Privacyprotect.org to protect the names of the owners
