I was recently on a forum, lets call it thecomputerdesk.com.

A friend posted a link to which people can talk to "Experts at Currys" about their products and ask for advice etc.

I was talking to someone using this service, I asked him a question regarding a processor and after about 1 minute, his reply was

I see that you have come to us through the computer desk, so I don't believe that you are a genuine visitor. I am now going to end this chat.

How did he know where I got the link?

page referrer id. It's a way to check where the link was that took you to that page. In this case it showed up that the link you clicked wasn't on the curry's site

Sorry, but the reply from the Currys "expert" was just rude.
