Site is nothing more than a Phishing site. Harvesting emails to sell on the Black Market

Their address, 15111 N Hayden Rd, Scottsdale, AZ, is actually a restaurant. However, the phone number registered to the server does not match the restaurant's. I'm sorry, but I do believe we've found a fraud.

Hello Christian,

Have you checked on this website yet? I did a little research about it and check this out:

1.The website http://www.realwritingjobs.com/cb/?hop=kds2931

2.If you ask me personally, my point of view on this easylifestyles.org is that the domain you’re referring to serves as an advertisement for http://www.realwritingjobs.com because this domain is no different from a Paid-to-click (PTC) website.

Just to give you an idea, PTC websites have “Referral” programs wherein every time someone refers someone to register in that website, with a unique code from their referee, obviously, they earn. That's on top of clicking advertisements.

How do I know all about this? Because I tried this kind of “work.” And I ended up with no luck.

3.If you check on http://www.verify1st.com (which by the way, helps you determine whether a website is high risk or not and reveals a website’s IDENTITY, REPUTATION & RELATIONSHIPS reports for the website you’re concerned with), Out of the 203 million well-known domains currently listed in verify1st, there’s NO RECORD found for the website you’re concerned with.

4.Just like what David (the first one to answer your question) has mentioned, the domain/blog (easylifestyles) was just recently launched – July 09, 2012. This shows that the amount of time they have existed is very short and they haven’t proven their worth yet in the business.

5.The domain/blog owner is using a service to hide their true IDENTITY from being recognized. Although this is not alarming, be aware that this is normally the trend for most of the high risk websites owners do. So watch out!

6.The Global Alexa Traffic Rank or the combination of average daily visitors and pageviews for this website according to an online web information company is 876, 769. This means that the popularity rating for this domain/blog is low, with at least hundreds of visitors each month.

7.With the low popularity rating, it’s not surprising that a couple of online web review sites found NO RECORDS of feedback/reviews for the easylifestyles.org. We wouldn’t determine its vendor reliability, trustworthiness, privacy & child safety rating. So watch out!

8.Although the domain/blog is not currently blacklisted according to http://rbls.org/easylifestyles.org this is not a guarantee that it’s safe to use considering the amount of time this domain/blog have existed and hasn’t built online reputation yet. Proper precaution is strongly advised.

9.May I suggest that we also check on realwritingjobs.com’s IDENTITY, REPUTATION & RELATIONSHIPS reports via http://verify1st.com/realwritingjobs.com as, for me, this is the real website that needs to be thoroughly checked? Here’s what I’ve found out:

9.a.According to verify1st, the overall reputation report for this domain (realwritingjobs.com) is CAUTION.
9.b.The domain was registered since 2009, which shows that they have existed for a fair amount of time.
9.c.The Alexa Rank for this domain is 17, 838; which shows that the website’s popularity rating is reasonably high, with at least thousands of visitors each month.
9.d.It is closely related to 2 other websites with a similarity match of 28.1% and they are as follows: pedsbasin.com, retail-pos.com
9.e.Notice the vendor reliability, trustworthiness, privacy & child safety ratings for this website? They’re all VERY POOR. So be very extra careful in transacting with them.
9.f.The feedback/reviews for this domain is equally divided into both positive & negative ones.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

Be careful of clicking links on Twitter and Facebook. There are a lot of criminal networks who are after your personal details and when you click the links they normally want more than your custom. They want your personal information. There is a really good article I found on a spiritual forum about criminals hiding behind psychic chat sites sending direct messages and wanting you to place a code to receive a free psychic reading. You can read all the info. I found on Yahoo and make your own mind up.http://www.pursuitofhappiness.info/Vine/KarmaLounge/showthread.php?t=779
