Thread: News7Daily gives special meaning to the term "Disclaimer"

News7Daily is one of those oh-so-popular fake news sites that likes to pretend it's an "Advertorial".

Normally an Advertorial style web page will start with the word Advertorial prominently displayed at the top of the page. Currently, News7Daily puts the following disclaimer at the very bottom of the page AFTER the reader has scrolled past EIGHT (8) order links (2 of them are on the images):



Of course even most of the flogs using "Advertorial" at the very top are doing things that REAL advertorials would NEVER do.

My antivirus automatically closes that fake-news-join-scam site down.

Yikes.

Apparently disclaimers are not the only thing visitors to that website have to worry about:

Same thing with Web Root. It immediately threw up two red flags and stated something was trying to attach itself to my puter, which it blocked.

These fake website newspapers have been going for ages, promoting all the old Get-Rich-With-Google-Posting Links scams that got shut down by the FTC. They now promote the new generation (which are the same, they just dont mention Google) and I have seen a few newer ones promoting Penny Stock Fraud scams.

It appears the same company behind NewsDaily7.com also owns and old Microsoft Support Domain - and has inject false IP information into the DNS records to make it appear that the Domain is still using Microsoft servers:

NewsDaily7.com has been down for several days now.
Some other fake news sites controlled by the same people who run NewsDaily7.com are still live though.
