LinkedIn Goes Following Survey Typosquatters

LinkedIn Goes Following Survey Typosquatters

Professional network upset regarding typos leading to fake surveys.

LinkedIn has filed a dispute against the owner of a number of domain names that forward to a “survey” with a logo mimicking the firm’s trademark.

The dispute filed with National Arbitration Forum asks for control of the domain names linedin.com,
linnkedin.com, and lonkedin.com.

The domain names forward to this page on SurveyRewardPanel.com:

If users take the “survey” they can then select a prize such as a Macbook Air or Walmart gift card — if they participate in a number of offers, such as signing up for a free trial of Netflix or registering for a book club.

Google has filed similar complaints against domains mimicking its Gmail and YouTube brands.
