To put further salt on injury, tons and tons of scammers have registered domain names using the tragic events of the Boston bombing. Not only were domains regsitered, twitter accounts, facebook fanpages and more were created just hours and days after the incident.
These scam artists (don't know why they call them artists) are looking to scam people for donation money. Basically they create a website for this cause and ask hard working citizens who are trying to help the REAL victims donate money into their own pockets.
Currently there are over 120 new websites that have been registered since the bombing (according to The Domains). Michael Berkens from 'The Domains' had this to say:
“As the editor of TheDomains and as a domainer personally I hate to see these type of registrations, so here the registrant information for some of the domain names that don’t have privacy on the registrations,” writes Berken.
More and more people are looking to exploit the situation and alot of the registered domains still have no clear intentioon of what they will be used for. Companies like FusionWorks LLC of Saratoga registered Bostonexplosion.com and bostonexplosions.com within ten minutes of the bombs!! Many other companies have followed in suit.
If you are looking to donate, always call and double, even triple check the charity you see online. Never trust any site unless you have made contact.
