Gotta give it to 'em... awsofficial.org does sound "offical". And even if you access the domain at awsofficial.org, you will be redirected to the real Amazon website at amazon.com. Don't let this fool you! This redirect is only being used to make you think that the awsofficial.org domain is legit and associated with Amazon. But venture to access their presale page at https://awsofficial.org/presale/ and an unsuspecting investor can easily be drawn into the scam; hoping to invest in a legitimate Amazon-sponsored pre-sale but discovering shortly after that they will receive nothing in return.
So let's do a quick registration lookup on the awsofficial.org domain at
whois.domaintools.com/awsofficial.org and compare it to the registration info from the real Amazon domain amazon.com via (
whois.domaintools.com/amazon.com)
Notice the Registrant Organization for amazon.com (which we all know to be valid) is Amazon Technologies, Inc. while the Registrant Name and Organization of awsofficial.org is Redacted for Privacy. Also notice the date that awsofficial.org was created, only being a few days old at the time of this article's publication. This too can be an indication of a potential scam so always be sure to do your research before investing in any project or platform.
Another thing you'll want to avoid doing is blindly following your favorite influencers because in this day and age, AI can be used to emulate voices, images, and even videos. So if you see (or think you see) your favorite influencer promoting a crypto project, don't be too quick to jump in. Again, it all boils down to doing your own research.
