Sip Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 This is a FAKE site: http://www.american-redcross.org/donation-form.php The real Red Cross site is: http://www.redcross.org The fake one was registered Jan 15, 2005 to scam people for Sunami relief most likely. Just a head's up and pass it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Sip, I haven't checked Who-Is, but the Verisign bit says the validity period is 29-SEP-04 - 29-SEP-06... And the domain is Verisign.com. How is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted January 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 The Verisign logo links to the actual www.redcross.org site and it says "THE DOMAIN WWW.REDCROSS.ORG" is the valid one not the american- one. That's why you should be VERY careful on all these details. Also, if you ever notice a phone link doesn't work or there is no working phone number, you should not deal with a website. But even I don't bother to check most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
