FYI something that can happen is ... you type it wrong the first time ... and wind up at the domain sale site. The problem is your browser then caches that as the last valid 'pam.......' site in it's drop down (because it's a perfectly valid address even though spelled wrong - the browser of course doesn't know it's not what you wanted,) so you keep typing 'pam ..' and accepting the suggested fill in, thinking your browser is suggesting the site, but it's just re-suggesting the wrong one.

Even though I know this, I'll sometimes say 'wtf' to myself 3 or 4 times before I realize it was my own original misspelling the first time. You can clear your browser cache to get out the bad autocomplete ... or ... just type it letter by letter correctly and then go there, so the cache now has a new, correct 'last used 'pame ....'

Thank you all for your replies. I did indeed screw up the spelling of “Pamela” in my posting....At first I assumed that was indeed the real problem....but then I remembered that this all began when I clicked on links contained in my daily emails from both of these two organizations. I don’t think the links were wrong.....unless someone is Phishing on those daily emails from Pam Geller and Jihad Watch? I will have to be much more careful in the future. Thanks again!
