Is it a scam? supertuxkart (oops) c0m

Hi,

I found a website called supertuxkart (oops) c0m when using search engine. It looks like a scam :think: and similarly for hedgewars (oops) c0m, etc. Do you know something about it?

just looked it up. The link on the right wanted me to look at some video, which didn't work with adblock. the links on the bottom are real, but outdated. As for hedgewars.com, the download link leads to the real website. Still, I would avoid those two websites. For all I know, they have malware that is incompatible with linux.

Yeah it's a scam. Please change the URL to not help them to be referenced by our forum (change them by something like: supertuxkart [dot] com).

It's obviously not possible to buy all domain related to stk. Don't use their website, don't support them, it's the best we can do.

There is also a website where you have to download a "download manager", that change your browser config, install ads, etc and then supertuxkart ^^.
