Scammers are trying to make money with fake MegaUpload website. A new MegaUpload clone is uploaded on an IP claiming to be the original MegaUpload.

Today, morning, i have reported that Megaupload is taken down by US Justice Department and the founder has been arrested with some company executives. All the domain of the websites are seized and the website is currently offline. But after the some time, i saw some links cliaming that megaupload is back with a IP link. After going to the IP i saw a website claiming to be the backup site of MegaUpload. It was also requesting users to bookmark this new domainsaying that website will be available on this domain for now.

I was on the website and thinking it to be the real or not. But all the officials of the website were arrested then how can this website be back. But then i found that the website is not Megaupload. This is just a scam which is trying to attract users and making mony by adserving. Users are also adviced not to login with you MegaUpload accoung because it can be a phishing too.
