Beware of fake websites

You have heard of fake websites, right? They are websites that look like the real thing but are fake. If you do paid blog posts you are aware of the website Smorty. Well it seems that Smorty has been faked. The real Smorty website is here at Smorty DOT com. The fake Smorty website is here at Smorty DOT tk.

What the fake Smorty website is trying to do is harvest your address, Social Security number and PayPal information.

Here is the link to the official Smorty blog that tells it's members that the DOT tk website is a fake one and is not Smorty at all.

The DOT tk is a free domain. I did some digging around and found out that the Smorty DOT tk site is affiliated with several other scam sites. They seem to be operating out of the Netherlands. Here is the web page that shows the info on the Smorty DOT tk domain.

You can really find out some interesting stuff about scams when you look up WHOIS and IP's.
