 I am not sure where to report this, as wordpress.org does not provide a
 way to flag or report plugins. But as this is potentially a bug or issue
 with the wordpress.org web site, I am posting it here. If there's a better
 place to post it, please move it there.

 I was viewing the plugin page here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin
 /woocommerce-currency-switcher/

 Most of the outgoing links on this plugin description page appear to have
 either been hacked by a third party, or the plugin developer has
 intentionally set up the links to forward to a scam "become a millionaire"
 site.

 If the prior is the case, then this is a serious issue. If the later is
 the case, then this plugin developer needs to cease using wordpress.org
 for posting links to this crap.

 You can see my report to the plugin developer here:
