Thread: Minuteman Hoax

I received this from MM and feel that it could apply to ALIPAC members also. Read your emails carefully and pay close attention to the URLs. I deleted the www in the link so that no one would accidentally click on it.


If you receive a member-request with "minutemen.biz" included in it is a blank web site and a hoax to steal your email address.

I'm having trouble opening my emails too. But I didn't open anything from that which you posted. MAYBE there are other ones that are doing this too. We'll see, but I have email alets which I need to post for us, so I am concerned about it.

Newmexican,

I looked at it through an anomyous proxy, and here's what it read:

This is the placeholder for domain minutemen.biz. If you see this page after uploading site content you probably have not replaced the index.html file.

This page has been automatically generated by Plesk.

Now the anomymizer I use does a lot of filtering, so the above is not necessarily the same as it would have looked just ip'ing straight to it.

The Whois results are:

is the CIDR number, which indicates the number of "significant bits". You can use 24 for a Class C range (192.0.2.xxx),
16 for a Class B range (192.0.xxx.xxx), or 8 for a Class A range (192.xxx.xxx.xxx).

And the ip won't convert to decimal.

I think GoDaddy software is a tracking software.....I always have to go in and delete it.

GoDaddy is a discount domain registration and hosting service.

Go Daddy is the registar and that is the guy who bought and owns the domains personal information (info required to have a domain) someone should call him and ask his intentions.
