List of scam sites

by **DaBlade** » Fri May 21, 2004 3:34 am

A few mins ago I found a site with a good long list of scam sites to stay away from. I've pasted it below. It might be a good idae to paste them into your HOSTS file. I think it was 127.0.0.1 or something like that...don't remember, since I deleted my HOSTS a while back. BTW, the list came from Beatking

by **DaBlade** » Fri May 21, 2004 4:42 am

by **DaBlade** » Fri May 21, 2004 4:47 am

And here's another bastard site: http://www.ekmpowershop.com/ekmps/shops ... /index.asp

Nice to have these scam sites.
HaloFan!@WinMXFan! I liked your explanations in the screenshot, especially the one about the pigs :lol:

by **DaBlade** » Fri May 21, 2004 4:55 am

Thanks.

by **DaBlade** » Fri May 21, 2004 4:55 am

Maybe this thread should be made sticky, huh In_Solitude?

...and somewhere everyone can see them on the front page, like a "Sites you should stay away" title.

Subtle hint taken ...

T'is done

by **DaBlade** » Fri May 21, 2004 5:02 am

Yeah, posting a shortcut to it on the front page! That way visitors who know jack about P2P, downloading or computers in general will get a warning.

Nice work HaloFan!@WinMXFan! :wink:

by **Dark_ronin** » Sun May 23, 2004 1:51 pm

just do a search on google for a normal P2P provider like morpheus and you will get alot of scam sites,

http://www.easymusicdownload.com

http://mp3downloadhq.com/

http://www.mymusicinc.com/home.htm

http://www.morpheusultra.com

http://www.morpheusultra.com

http://www.morpheussoftware.net this site is kinda weird, it will let you dl it for free but it will also let you buy it

http://www.filesharingcenter.com

http://www.downloadshield.com

by **DaBlade** » Sun May 23, 2004 2:31 pm

I think those are in my original list...but there's something I've noticed...there is a "network" of scam sites that unexperienced users may run into. http://www.k-lite.tk/ <----Part of the crapware network...I've seen many sites with that same design. Many of them seem to use rewiews of the original program. A site bastardizing KaZaA Media Desktop used the fact that it was #1 at download.com for ages as an advertisement.

by **Ooble** » Sun May 23, 2004 5:10 pm

Heh - the Join Now page is down on http://www.k-lite.tk. Jackasses.

sry i was just pointing out how many scam sites are in one search.

BTW that was a google search and most of those sites were on the "Sponsored Links".

by **DaBlade** » Sun May 23, 2004 6:29 pm

No need to apologize...no problem. I'll copy this thread to http://www.klitetools.com/forums.html and http://www.p2pforums. if anyone is a member of sites like zeropaid or UTC, then plz post there as well. We need to get ppl informed.

Looking your list over, it came from Beatking

Feel free to add credit to the top of the thread.

Sure, why not?

by **Anonymous** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 9:01 am

Or you could goto http://s7.invisionfree.com/Mammoth/index.php?showtopic=4 and download the Mammoth HOST files which blocks 101 Fake P2P websites and 1019 Advertising Websites.

by **Ooble** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 11:46 am

Just thought I'd let you people know that Spybot Search & Destroy will add over 1900 known scam sites, ad sites etc. to your hosts file. Just click Immunize.

by **DaBlade** » Thu Jun 10, 2004 12:00 pm

I love Spybot SD! :lol:

by **in_hiding** » Sun Jun 13, 2004 1:21 pm

Thanks for that tip, Ooble.

by **Anonymous** » Mon Jun 14, 2004 10:00 am

might be stupid but i ripped the list from S&D and put it in the mammoth HOST file.
