Is anyone hearing music when they open this webpage?

Eddie emailed me to say that he's hearing spanish music, and so I tried to find out what's going on.

He sent me the URL he was using for this blog.

When I replied, that URL he sent me did NOT represent the Just A Car Guy blog... nope, it was for some cleaning site.

so, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/
it shows up in HTML as

id="yiv7925083624yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1534524582660_6004" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "times new roman", "new york", times, serif;">

Now, all that might mean something to a person that can read code... but, it's not my site, it's
What ever the hell this cleaning website is.

Notice, that link http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/
is not the same as https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/

it's not secure, it has no "S" after the http.

SO, I think something is up.

But, someone is going to need to tell me if they are hearing music when they are looking at the site, and if they are looking at the unsecured, or the secured, version

  1. I do not hear music...

    I also only click on my bookmark to get here...

    Up in the corner where it shows the address, there is no http OR https. Mine just says "Not secure", then "justacarguy.blogspot.com"

    I would tell anyone that routinely looks at your page or any page, to bookmark the page....

    I have a woman here at work, and every time she wanted to go on facebook, she opened her browser and typed the letter "F" and then opened the first thing that was there... It was a false facebook.... The IT guy that came in to fix her computer, asked her "What is wrong with you, do you know how to use the internet?"

    1. Thanks! And wow... hard to believe anyone would fall for, and use, a false facebook... I wonder how that's even possible to make a page look like Facebook! Skimmer tech! Just like the fake credit card skimmers at gas pumps and atms. I simply can't conceive how people fall for them!
      It reinforces my notion that we all could use a friend to look at us now and then, see if we're just repeating some erroneous behavior, mistake, or falling for a scam, etc. We get in habits, and without a 2nd opinion, can get stuck in a bad habit, not realizing that just around the corner is a better, simpler, cheaper way.
      Like gas stations. I saw the one on the nearby corner is a dollar more a gallon than the one by my garage.

  7. Putting "http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/" in Google search brings up 2 pages and every one points here or a blog that is talking about here.
    Putting "https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/" comes directly here.
