I was just explaining that any site with a questionable URL should cause hesitation before clicking on it. For example, the Sofitel.com site for the Android download is a legit site, but you need to be really careful downloading from it because it’s an aggregate site for apps and people have been stung after downloading what they thought was an app that turned out to be ransomware from that site.

I also checked into another URL that was asking people to give out their email to join a list and be notified for the Truth Social launch (https://world-wire.com/join-truth-social-waitlist/ don’t click on it). The domain is registered from Maharashtra, India through GoDaddy, which sounded sketchy. Further research turned up these 3 guys with Indian names living in Eugene, Oregon and running this “conservative” news aggregator called World Wire. ( https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/world-wire) Now I don’t know if you’ve ever been to Eugene, but is very far from conservative...so why would the Trump team be using some sketchy tech team from the heart of Antifa-ville with $15,000 in funding to help push out the Truth Social launch? They wouldn’t. These guys are just opportunists collecting clicks and probably hosting malware ads on their site because they know how profitable conservative websites can be. I certainly wouldn’t give them my email address.

That’s all I was saying. I know everybody is impatient waiting for the TS launch, I was just reminding people to be cautious what you click on. I love all you FreeQs and don’t want to see more people harmed like with this whole GiveSendGo stuff.
