RAH Facts You Should Know
This domain name was registered in 2005 for a startup IT / Network Intrusion Detection business
The plans for the startup never developed and the domain was left sitting idle on the web with a splash page and email address. In 2008, a check of the email inbox revealed over 300 email inquiries from people around the world. Some were looking for employment, others were simple inquiries, but a few of them were more sinister in nature.
Most of the traffic to the site was from people searching the Internet for the keyword "Hitman"
People from all over the world search the Internet for the keyword "hitman" and subsequently end up on the parody website.
In 2010, this domain was developed into the PARODY site it is today
With the help of GoDaddy's secure hosting, the site was born - complete with a web form that let's solicitors paint the picture of who, what, when, where and sometimes the why - of what they would like done. That's hard to fight in court!
Red Flags Our Clients Missed
RAH was never intended to be a real website. Nobody could ever be stupid enough to try and solicit a murder-for-hire hit on the World Wide Web, RIGHT???
Especially when there are banner ads on the website for a sketchy service called "Card Check - Has your credit card number been stolen on the Internet?" - that when clicked, OPENS A NEW BROWSER WINDOW TO THE FBI's INTERNET CRIME COMPLAINT CENTER (ic3.gov).
Our HIPPA privacy policy is fictitious. The HITMAN INFORMATION PRIVACY & PROTECTION ACT of 1964 - DOES NOT EXIST!
RAH Info Nuggets & Other Things You Should Know!
- This domain was initially registered in February 2005 for $9.20 and has been securely hosted on GoDaddy ever since!
- Over 850 emails & web form inquiries have been received over the last decade.
- A very small number of these inquiries were cold hearted requests for murder-for-hire services - which we do not offer!
- Surprisingly, a large number of messages were inquiring about employment opportunities, asset extraction and various other services which we have never offered.
- A simple email reply is sent to "Solicitors" asking if they would like to be placed in contact with a "Field Operative" for further assistance.
- Once the "Solicitor" confirms that they wish to be placed in contact with "Field Operatives", I perform my "Matchmaking" services, and the rest is history!
- Once "Field Operatives" are contacted, they are provided with a full statement which includes any email correspondence, so they can pursue action as needed.
- Over 114+ human lives have been saved as a direct result of the "Solicitors" own request to consult with "Field Operatives" - it's really that simple!
- There's nothing nefarious about the site. There's no entrapment issues. There are links to the FBI's very own Internet Crime Complaint Center (ic3.gov) right on the page - yet people still opted for a consultation with a "Field Operative" -- I just don't get it!
