Ask HN: Why buy domains and 301 redirect them to me? Say I'm running a SaaS product, example.com. Somebody has bought several domains like getexample.com, buyexample.io, joinexample.net, and is 301 redirecting them to example.com. What's their play here? Is this setup for a phishing attack in the future? Are they just going to try and sell the domains to me in the future? Not encountered behaviour like this before (or at least, I don't know if this is the beginning phase of a common scam) |
