The site does not even indicate who is the responsible person behind it. And it uses a free re-direction subdomain. Every single letter on that website cries "Hello, I am a scam! My only purpose is to make you reveal your personal data!" Scriptor |

julianguy2001, I agree with Scriptor. It's screaming scam. 1) Do you think that the Page Name: Hey :) --would be on a legitimate 3rd party identity verification website? 2) Why is the page not legitimate "looking?" Notice all the empty space on the bottom half of the page. 3) There are no links to Privacy Statements. There are no Terms Of Service, nothing.... 4) On my computer, the graphic is a broken link, and the right click function is disabled. 5) I find it suspicious that the search terms: "DateMate 3.0" verification ...bring up ZERO results in Google. The page is either so new it has not been indexed, or there is code that prohibits bots from crawling the page. Either choice is bad. 6) These search results don't look promising: DateMate 3.0 ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=%22DateMate+3.0%22+&btnG=Search ~~Cynthia |

I found a WHOIS record on the redi.TK domain. The following is who the domain is registered to: Domain: REDI.TK The registrant of this domain name is: Company: Virtual Minds AG Name: Torsten Wenniges Address: None Given Postal code/zipcode: None Given City: None Given State: Baden-W�rttemberg Country: Germany Phone number: +49 --- Fax number: +49 --- Email address: support@redi.tk Name servers: NS.6X.TO However, that's not really where it stops. If you go to the root domain at www.redi.tk, you will see that the domain is setup to offer free subdomains to registered users. This means that anyone who signs up for their services can obtain a URL just like the one you found. Because of this practice, it would make it almost impossible to find out who the owner of that subdomain is without talking to the actual owner of the REDI.TK domain, who I posted above. I agree with all of the other advice that the commenters have left, but the best advice I can give is to call and have the credit card you entered cancelled. Let them know what happened and you will need a new card sent to you. Hope that helps! |

I went and lookedthe site, and found that beides from looking very amatuerish it is collecting information using a formail script. This is not a way to be collecting personal information - especially credit card information. After looking at the source code for the page, I see that the formail script is being run from another URL - http://www.tonykeyz.com. After visiting that site, I see that it is run by a DJ that is 20 years old. He could be the operator of the info harvesting datemate site, or his tonykeyz site may be running an outdated verison of formail that allows an outside domain to access the data that it is processing. I would definately contact your credit card company as others have suggested and cancel your card. Good luck in the future and be careful. |
