I am not a scammer. I have been a member for several years and, given my past career in legal aid, have often posted useful links. The link goes to the REfuge website. Refuge is a charity advising and representing victims of domestic violence.

Perhaps someone has hacked the site then

Go to site, click 'exit site' it then pops up 2 windows one of which does a load of redirects too quick for me to see what is happening

Apologies, or perhaps it's an attempt to obfuscate what the user was doing when they close the site - but doesn't seem to work very well and loads of redirects makes it look like a scam

Perhaps advise people to only access site through private browsing?

The exit the site immediately button is in case you need to quickly put up a neutral page (i.e. your abuser has just come in and wants to know what you're doing), not for leaving a website as one would do normally.
