How to Spot a Brand-new Fake Tech Support Scam Site Before Activated

🔗ChatGPT’s funny take😆

I leaped at the YouTube ad for “echoforgegate dot com” even though I haven’t seen any suspicious activities yet. But I’m sure it will be revealed soon, based on the inappropriately seductive thumbnail, nonsensical taglines, and above all, their other ads with similarly spicy thumbnails, as you can see in “My Ad Center”(🔗Link).

And look, their hilariously clunky auto-translated Japanese content on the landing website. Instead of a typical “Home” button in the top menu, it has a single letter “家”, which never translates to “Home” or “Top” in this context. It may explicitly mean a “House”, which somehow visibly makes sense only if it were a website for real estate. Unfortunately, it’s supposed to be a fashion brand lol

Regardless how hard it tries to seem like a harmless legit website, it’s already showing the exact shared characteristics among the fake tech support scams I’ve observed (list) that squat in your computer, screaming “重要なセキュリティメッセージ。あなたのコンピュータはしまい込まれました” ( 🔗audio )

It’s expected to be followed by more of them in a few days. I’ll occasionally add them to the list below.
