I actually don't see how the date in the domain name is integral to this scam? Maybe someone can clarify it for me.

- Hnrobert42 7y agoIt is supposed to look like the path. It is supposed to look like https://ee https://ee[.]co[.]uk/billing-jan-02.info
- ailideex 7y agoIs this what the URls look like normally? (not from UK so I would not know) Why not just https://ee.co.uk.billing.info/jan-02 https://ee.co.uk.billing.info/jan-02 ? I mean if someone does not notice it is a domain name and not path would they really notice where the info part is?
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoBecause ee.co.uk.billing.info would get taken down pretty quickly. Using this method the domain only has to work for one day before they move on to the next one.
- 113 7y agoBecause even if you could buy billing.info it would get blocked pretty quickly.
- function_seven 7y agoIn addition to the sibling comments, there's also the problem of having an actual slash in your example, which may cause the mark to notice it and therefore notice the "missing" slash after the 'co.uk' part.
