However, why was advertisement of stake.com being displayed on the .to website? Are stake.com even paying the clones to display their ads on clone forums?
Also, OP , please remove the link to the direct .to website as someone might actually click it unknowingly, just place it under [ code ]

I asked stake about this and am awaiting a response. I suppose it's possible that they're unaware of it or didn't pay them directly and are using a third party advertising service to put their adverts on bitcoin related websites.

Doubt that stake knows that their advertisements have been placed on bitcointalk.to, especially when they already have advertising on bitcointalk. It's probable that they use a third party advertiser that submits their ads to crypto related sites, and thus appearing on bitcointalk.to.

But it's really not a problem, this. The main problem is still the phishing sites.

Perhaps show the link that people are redirected to every time someone PMs or posts on this forum a hyperlink. Or we could filter out the obvious phishing links by doing the [suspicious link removed] thing.
