Strange occurance here, type in www.bestake.com into your browser and it redirects you to Matchbook...what the?

bestake was a ripoff scam book tht stole thousands of $$$$$

[austin]

yeah bestake used the stolen money to buy out matchbook


just jesting...

but funny enough when bestake started the scam they didn't allow us customers, like matchbook now

[Marauders]

This is weird and a little worrisome.

Can someone from SBR contact Matchbook and inquire why this may be the case?

[lukahh]

maybe new owners buying old exchange domains??

[tofuman]

wow that is weird

[betting4fun]

is it a link exchange?

[barcelonafc]

i have informed matchy and they are looking into it

[David]

Matchbook (or an affiliate?) must have bought the domain name.

That seems weird, why would you want your name associated or anywhere near a SCAM operation?

Very valuable traffic, having someone type a domain name into a browser for the same product you are selling.

IP is hosted in San Jose CR.

And it appears MB owns it directly, or pays the owner "CR Domains" for the traffic, as it redirects straight to the site, not through an affiliate link.

So it was scam or not? because I see it is much better than betfair.

what is better than betfair? and where exactly do 'you see it'?

Look up Bestake on the forums, they stole thousands of $$$ then did a runner. Shut down the site with everyones money. Look it up.

The site it redirects you to is Matchbook which is like an exchange i believe, no where near as good as Betfair though my friend.
