Beware Of Fake Google URL Created By A Smart Guy - ?oogle.com

Have you heard of ?oogle.com? This is not Google.com or google.com as we all know, it is a weird domain spotted in the Google analytic website. Well, it is weird because it looks like Google.com but on a closer look, you will notice that it isn't google real URL because they used a special character ? to fool people and the character is Latin Letter Small Capital G, also known as Unicode 0262.



When you click on the link, it will redirect you to "xn--oogle-wmc.com" so the purpose of this spammers was to infect your device with malware when clicked and to set a trap for website owners on Google Analytics by generating fake traffic to their website.


?oogle.com website homepage

They use fake google url because of the trust everyone has for Google but we would all agree that ?oogle.com looks like a smart clickbait.

The Whois data shows that the site is owned by:

Name: Popov Vitaly
Organization: Popov Vitaly
From: Russian
