like everybody else with a website, i get hits through the 'contact us' mailto from places that claim to increase the site's visibility in search engines. today on a lark i checked one out. not through their supplied link, of course, but starting at the top level and drilling down until i found a node that worked. (interestingly and tellingly, they have -no- default web page at their domain ...)

this is the place "top--sites.com". yes, two dashes ...

if you go to this link: http://top--sites.com/update.htm it will prompt you for a domain-name to "update" and it displays the current known data for that domain in their data base. naturally, i typed in -their- domain ! AFAIK it's safe... and quite the hoot !

but for those not adventurous enough to check it out (and i feel a little safe since i'm using a non-MicroLimp browser ...) this, verbatim, is what they have to say about their own domain:

" A spam related site that steals credit card numbers. We also traffic child pornography and snuff films. Mike sux. "

and this, boys and girls, is why you must be careful at all times about what test data you use ...

I think they are de-listed until they pay their own invoice.....

(Correction).

Not true - I searched in the wrong box.

LMAO. These guys suck badly.
