ATScom

Where I was taken when I typed "abovetopsecret.com" into the address bar. (the first time)

ATScom

So, for only $300 I can own this place, huh? Sounds like a deal!

I'll sell it to you for only $279.99 and if you buy it in the next 10 minutes I'll ship it to you free!!!!!

NO, for $300 you can own the domain name Abovetopsecret.....not abovetopsecret. The capital A is difference here.

The browser shows "abovetopsectret.com"...

Typo in the URL. You must have typed in Abovetopsectret.com

I think it was abovetopseacrest.com

a Homoerotic fansite dedicated to ryan seacrest.

We're that good, huh? Somebody uses the (proximate) name as an ad ?

Who pays three hundred to buy a misspelled website name?

The same people that go shopping because somethings "on sale".

What, open your mind and I where just toying with an exploitative fan site idea is all.

Sorry, I don't watch TV but is Ryan Seacrest like the modern day David Hasselhof or something? I know, I'm probably showing my age and reduced contact with garbage media here but it really can't be helped. TIA

No. Plenty of people do hoping to catch someone misspelling a domain name. It's also good to drop some malware on your machine. Try typing variations on drudge sometime and see what you come up with. be sure to have your virus checker working before you do.

The Capital "A" makes no difference. The next poster down is correct. Try it yourself. Your typing becomes "normalized" as your browser searches for the site. A lot of embarrassment would be saved if people actually verified what they were about to post ahead of time.

Thanks for the warning. All we need is a bunch of "mal"-contents coming in here with digital AK47's and start shooting.

So what about that? Is anyone going to give that a go and see if their virus blocker pings?

Who the hell's embarassed? I sure as hell aint. And I highly doubt Benrl is either. Either way we go with this, Seacrest is still an Arsehole. Benryl, hit me up with your ideas for that explotive Seacrest site. Maybe we call it..... Seacrap.com or perhaps Uppercasearsehole.com.
Let me know .It damn sure sounds like a cash generator Edit: For Levity and the amusment of all.

Just FYI, since I'm a poor typist and often transpose letters so I've seen it, is the fake "download a new flash player" scam. It looks real enough and they tell you your flash player is out of date. Since adobe frequently updates their stuff, it doesn't look out of the ordinary. It's terribly difficult to exit the multiple-layer traps once you get there, but just go ahead and unplug if necessary. That won't hurt your machine, even though it will come back next time and say, "Windows closed unexpectedly, blah blah."

Thing is a lot of spoofs do that, including flash...so do the spooks.
