Don’t be gullible, use life before it uses
you. Understand there are no free lunches, and for every action you take, there’s
a reaction.

Yesterday (February 24, 2015), this
outfit, owners of the domain name shown in the title, set up a Facebook page,
advertising a fake contest for a Disney Cruise.
(I’m not going to
post the FB link here.)
The domain name
is about six weeks old (registered January 4, 2015).
I guarantee you
that this domain does NOT belong to Disney, which does not use privacy (see
DomainTools for the Disney.com Whois entry.
Hundreds of
people have already jumped onto the FB thread and, supposedly, have clicked onto
the website, possibly compromising their personal information and/or catching a
good dose of malware.
Unfortunately, stupidity
and greed are fertile stomping grounds for criminals and cybersquatters.
I’ll do my best
to bring these evil people from behind the shadows, by posting their details,
such as they are, but I’m not optimistic – I keep seeing the same people
posting the same-old, same-old Facebook scams, even after they have been
warned.
