Understood. If it's being pointed at redcross.org, a known good guy site, that wouldn't be a problem, would it? It seems that if the scammer is removed from the operation, it's not really a problem anymore. I'm interested because I think there could be value in a page(s) on an SP that says "This site terminated due to fraudulent activity" and pointers to how to not be sucked into these things. > Personally, I'd prefer registrar lock myself, as that keeps > the distinction > between scam and non-scam clear. Registrar lock is preferred on my part. The redirect idea was creative. -M< |
