I cannot access TOTV using WiFi on either my iPhone or my desk top, it automatically sends me to a different site. However, I can access it on my iPhone if I shut the wifi off and use LTE.
I have no problem using wifi with any other website. Any ideas?

I could not get onto this site this evening with about 10 tries over a 10 minute period, and it was with my iPhone, away from home.

It first went to a small pop-up window saying something like "Congratulations! Apple wants to you know....". Then after disposing of that, everytime I tried to go to TOTV, the URL was converted to ww2.talkofthevillages.com and it kept saying "site not available". I retyped the ww2 to www. in the front, but it kept converting even when I shut down the browser, opened it with a new window, and typed in the correct address.

Later, I got on just like always. Not sure why that was but if it happened to others, admin ought to know.

I got the same congratulations website and a couple of others, but it's been going on for over 2 days now

Same thing with my Microsoft Windows 7 Google Chrome computer at 6:30 AM this morning.

Prism Century Link has a spoofer phisher targeting TalkoftheVillages users. Contact whatever your Internet Service provider is as they seem to be the source of this remote virus.

Just curious are you all using Century Link?

I have century link Prism and will check with them when I get home later today

This is first time in two days I have been able to get on totv. I too have centurylink. I didn't think to turn off WiFi and try on phone. Am at b&n and got on. So must be centurylink will contact them.

[TOTV Team]

We have found that Centurylink users seem to be having an issue and we have been working on this.

I have a Century Link tech here now and he's offering a temporary fix.He says they're working on a permanent solution. I opted to leave it as is because the temporary fix could effect other browsing capabilities

Thanks for posting that. I sent Prism Century Link an e-mail yesterday but they have not replied. This was about the phishing/spoofing of TOTV by some remote viruses.

I have CenturyLink without Prism and have the same situation. With LTE no problem, but my desktops and tablet are WiFi. Tapatalk app is also affected.

its been 2 days since I could get on same problems as everyone else....I was able to get on with my cell phone "IF" I shut off the Wi-Fi....I also have centuy link for wifi

Just read on a neighborhood site that TOTV has been "hacked". Whatever that means? We are on Brighthouse wi-fi and currently not having these problems that some TOTV posters are having or perhaps had in the past few days.

I too am having this problem. I have two Windows 7 machines and have had the problem with Chrome, Firefox and IE. I am a Prism/Centurylink user.

I went to Eisenhower Rec center and logged in using WiFi to TOV no problem. I went home and tried my Android phone attached to Wifi and got in no problem. After reading this thread on my phone I plugged into the router with a cable and I am now on TOV. Prior to reading this thread I spent over an hour on the phone with Prism/Centurylink. The networking folks said there was no internet problem and shuffled me over to the PC folks. They tried to sell me a service to clean" my computer. (I already did system restores on both systems, ran virus checkers and reset my router) I guess I'll call them again tomorrow when have more time. Hopefully they will know more about this problem. The problem is definitely a browser redirect with a phishing scam.
