Comments on: Is Facebook.in a scam? http://rahulsarin.com/internet/is-facebookin-a-scam-279/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=is-facebookin-a-scam I've started my journey but I don't know my destination.

Its been long! If you've used OpenDNS or DNS Advantage, they provide you with this service that you just type in the name of the website, like "yahoo", hit enter and it will open the required website. I recently noticed that the Airtel DNS servers started behaving the same way and offered this "service". Say, if I just typed "techcrunch" in the address bar it would open TechCrunch.com instead of giving an error regarding the incorrect URL. Initially, it used to redirect every request to a corressponding .in domain... yahoo.in, google.in etc. But recently it got smarter. But in the case of Facebook, it sent me to facebook.in which is why I got a little worried. Had that website been a fake, I could've gotten my account hacked easily (not just FB, my email too). @ Harry : Watsup my man?! Its been long!
