A textbook method of silencing questions of fraud is to drown out legitimate voices. I detailed this phenomenon in relation to the BlastOff Network and named it the BlastOff scam scam.
Though I can’t yet prove the company itself is behind any of the scam scams, there are some interesting correlations. For example, the number one search result for “BlastOff Scam” is currently blastoffscam.com, which is registered by Domains By Proxy. That company, owned by GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons, offers a service to hide actual domain registration information and is sold as an add-on to GoDaddy domains. Coincidentally, this is the exact same registration technique used for blastoffnetwork.com, the official company web site.
Why a legitimate company would need to hide it’s registration information is unknown. I failed to find an example of another “major” internet company doing this. What is known is that they are trying to drown out other voices. See below for proof:
That’s right, the company is purchasing Google AdWords to capture the eyeballs of people trying to do honest research, redirecting them to standard marketing pages. Note the Freudian slip in the title of their ad. Also note the number of results; 220,000 is a high number of associations with the word “scam” for a recently launched service.
the ’sponsored link’ is to blastnoffnetwork.com, not blastoffnetwork.com. I suspect it is someone looking for new people to join their network.
incidentally, blastoffnetwork.com is currently offline.
Lol, good eye pj, their domain name is too long! Looks like just another case of a BlastOff scam scam. My bad!
