Domain Squatter Swipes Alison Grimes’ Senate Domains
July 3, 2013
By Kathy Groob, Founder ElectWomen.com – Beware of false campaign websites! Famous cybersquatter Michael Deutsch, has swooped up domain names for Alison Lundergan Grimes who announced this week that she will run for the U.S. Senate seat that Mitch McConnell now holds.
GrimesforSenate.com and AlisonforSenate.com were both purchased by Michael Deutsch, a resident of Florida, back in March of this year. Mr. Deutsch has made a career of purchasing domain names of high profile Democratic candidates, professionals athletes and others. He has conservative leanings and attempted to sell domain names to the John Kerry for President campaign back in 2004. Even President Obama’s Organizing for Action domain was purchased for use to promote anti-Obama messaging.
Take caution supporters who are eager to get behind Ms. Grimes’ campaign, be sure the website is the genuine article. So far, there is no official website associated with the Grimes for Senate campaign. ElectWomen will report the legitimate site as soon as it is available.
