Do Not Spam Site A Spam Scam
from the well,-duh dept
The FTC is warning (once again) of a scam site that looks like the "Do Not Call" site run by the FTC, but promises to put you on a do not spam list. The site is, of course, a scam for spammers to pick up more email addresses. This isn't the first time this has happened. The site is conveniently using the .us domain to make it look more legit. Amusingly, if you click on the site's "privacy" link, you get a 403 Permission Forbidden.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
