I’ve noticed that InfinityFree is being used a lot in Twitter Ads, especially by scammers promoting fake Sui airdrops.
As you know, in the source section (of the ad), you can’t write very long text, yet these scammers manage to display **** as the source. For example: [screenshot link: Screenshot by Lightshot]. But when you click the link, it redirects to a completely different site: ****.
They’ve even set it up in such a way that if the visitor is a bot, it goes to ****, and if it’s a real user, it goes to their own scam site.
How is this possible?
Does InfinityFree actually allow this?
I removed the links to your post for the time being, interested parties can view them by clicking the orange pencil icon on your post.
I’m a bit confused as to what you are describing, but my best guess is that the advertisement leads to the fake site (IE is a fake advertisement, probably phishing scam or something), and the real website has nothing to do with that.
Of course that’s just one of probably hundreds of possibility’s based on the little information you provided.
But to answer your question, you can detect know bot vs human quite reliably in code, but that’s something you have to do, not something InfinityFree can do (you control your sites content, not the other way around).
However do note that doing so is a very good way to get blacklisted from Google search, and potentially flagged as malicious. You should be showing the same page to all users.
Thank you for the response, but the question I asked was exactly about what the creators of that site are doing. They are using their links in Twitter ads and making them recognized with OG tags, but they’re not doing this through code, perhaps they are using Infinity redirection to achieve this. I think it’s a bit of a deep topic because they are using cloaking.
I’m still not sure what you’re asking. Advertisements don’t use OG tags, that information is provided directly to the advertising agency from the advertiser.
the link you posted .sf.gd ? I think you meant .rf.gd
anyway I visited the link but with a .rf.gd extension and it took me to the official site and not a fake one
either way I think unless I’m wrong that blockchain related sites are not allowed on infinityfree
Any website can basically set any OpenGraph data they want. We don’t, and realistically can’t, vet all OpenGraph data for every page of every website on our hosting and guarantee that it’s clear, honest and accurate.
If a website is using OpenGraph data for the purpose of misleading people and trick them into letting the website owner steal from them, then that’s clearly fraud, which is illegal and not allowed no our hosting. But please understand that thousands of websites are created every day on our hosting, and - again - we cannot realistically vet every single one of them to make sure that’s the content is honest and safe.
You may see things that we are not aware of. If that’s malicious and you think we should take action, please let us know by sending an email to [email protected] so we can have a look.
No, because we provide website hosting, not website building. You choose how you build your website, and if or how you can add OpenGraph tags to your website depends on what software you use to build your website.
We cannot provide a built-in OpenGraph tool because it is impossible for such a tool to work with static HTML, custom PHP, SitePro, WordPress and the hundreds of other scripts you can find in Softaculous all at the same time. And then there is a practically infinite number of different website building systems you can also find online.
So how you can implement it in your website depends on how your website is built. Maybe it’s already there, maybe you need to code it yourself, or maybe there is a plugin or extension that can do it.
