Sometimes I come across legitimate sites which offer a service or that have a true purpose besides scamming people with malware or selling some dumb repugnant bullshit that you'd think nobody in their right mind would ever fall for, yet at first glance they look suspicious. So I'll start with one that I found today which offers legitimate Windows gadgets and an interesting reverse IP map:

A lot of elements about the above site first set me off such as the quirky domain name, huge stars as part of a "review system", and an oddly placed site synopsis in a poor font choice. Maybe we can help webmasters break out of the: "I'm masquerading as a scam site" category?

Haha, that Web site is looking like a scam to me. There is something about these odd Web sites that the second you visit them, you get that odd vibe. :lol:
