I don't have the technical savvy to understand the reasons behind it, but I noticed a new twist in the methods of delivery for these fake celebrity endorsement ads that advertise "you pay shipping only" then trap you with auto-ship fine print that is difficult to cancel or get reimbursed for.

If you go to this address:

Fake ADs - 01.jpg

^ try the actual link


You get this fake-celebrity-endorsement ad page:

I always thought that in web addresses, everything that comes after the question mark that may follow the last slash in the address was used for tracking purposes, but in the address for the page above, if you remove what appears to be the tracking part of the address:

Fake ADs - 03.jpg

^ try the actual link


.... you get a legitimate-looking news page without a product pitch or the fake celebrity endorsements:

Fake ADs - 04.jpg

championmonthly.com was anonymously registered February 21, 2019 and sprinkled with legitimate celebrity news items at that time.

What is the racket here, other than the obvious?
