So I purchase a domain, and it winds up being previously used in online banking scam!
 

Hah, alright, so I'm looking at this one domain I just registered, and as i'm researching potential buyers on google i discover that this particular domain was previously used as a fake bank in one of those mass email scams...

Now is this such a blackmark that I'll never be able to sell this domain? Seriously. I'm parking the domain and seeing what sort of traffic is going to it. After having found out all of this, I'm a little bit curious if there's not traffic still coming to the domain for the mass spammage. If the domain is still getting a lot of traffic, is it's previous history enough to keep potential buyers at a distance?

setup some page with free email sponsors ;)

setup your own online banking scam

:1orglaugh:321GFY

how long ago was the scam?

that would make the most money :1orglaugh

Apparently the site associated with the scam went into action during 2006. So the whole thing was pretty recent, it could have ran well into this year for all I know at the moment....

Sell it to a bank that will use it as a "If you would be banking with us, you would not become a phishing target"-Ad ;)

Sign up as an affiliate to a credit card company & slang some plastic BRO!

would you want to set up at site on ibill.com

is there good money in this sort of thing? what sort of payouts do they have on credit cards?

obviously thats how u convert a domain, promote the same product :1orglaugh

hundreds of dollars per confirmed account

also loans can pay well to sometimes the points on a loan can end up making $2000 per account you signup

the domain is allstatesfinance.com. i've just parked it to see if it's still pulling any traffic from the scam, maybe i'll give the creditcard/loans thing a go. but isn't this a pretty saturated market already?
