Freenom - Another shady registrar used by scammers

Freenom is a domain registrar that offers free domain registration in the .tk, .ml, .ga, .cf, and .gq zones. Scammers love free domains since they can register as many as they want without loosing money due to their domain being suspended. Furthermore, Freenom has a very bad reputation. So much so that they were once suspended by ICANN due to them cybersquatting other registrars like GoDaddy and failed to display the suspension notice on their website. Overall, Freenom is a haven for all kinds of scammers and a company known for it’s shoddy practices.

[b]Edit:[/b] Freenom is also known for unjustly taking back free domains once they gain some regular traffic and monetizing them on an ad network.

Yeah freenom is pretty infamous so much so that some DNS servers specifically redirect anything that has those TLDs over to a “we’re sorry but that’s a malicious website” page.

I’ve reported some 419 scam domains to Freenom and they generally got suspended promptly… Plus, I use it myself for free domain names

but yea be suspicious if someone says there is a discord nitro giveaway and links to a .ga domain

@mathfreak231#105433 Yeah that Discord phishing scam was a big thing lol

The site is down now
