Re: Hijacks & Other Content Changes - Report Here ONLY

 

Good day,

I have a few things to report, all in the http://dmoz.org/Computers/Hardware/Peripherals/Printers/Supplies/ category

 

Title: Inkjet Express

URL: http://www.bh1.com

Problem: The site goes to bh1.com and then redirects to http://store.yahoo.com/4inkjets/

 

Title: Inkjets2go.com

URL: http://www.inkjets2go.com

Problem: 'Cannot Find Server'

 

Title: Inkpol.com

URL: http://www.inkpol.com

Problem: 'Cannot Find Server'

 

Title: Ink7.com

URL: http://www.ink7.com

Problem: 'Cannot Find Server'

 

Title: MyInk.net

URL: http://www.myink.net

Problem: 'Cannot Find Server'

 

Title: NationalToners.com

URL: http://www.nationaltoners.com

Problem: 'https://www.nationaltoners.com/index.htm' Document cannot be found - NationalToners.com exists, but that page is not found.

 

Title: Outa Ink

URL: http://www.outaink.com

Problem: 'www.outaink.com Not Available'

 

That's it for now, Pandaink.com trapped me on their site and I lost the page I was working on (had all of the sites I had visited marked) so I have to start all over. Man I don't like sites that trap you there...

65613 is done, and thank you! Much appreciated.

 

I left akadinnerware.com listed because it has some products of its own and the page it's an entry for isn't available. I delisted afrocentricdinnerware.com but if it comes back we'll want to reconsider which one to list.
