GoingFast.Us Scam: How It Works
Many users have been sending us emails inquiring about a potential GoingFast.us Scam. The website redirects to the Walgreens website, which is more confusing for readers, especially when looking for GoingFast.us reviews.
Luckily we have the answer. But first, here is a screenshot of the website that opens when you type in www.goingfast.us in the browser:
Scam Detectors Most Trusted Websites in Online Security
- Guard.io (100): Surf the web safely. Clean up your browser, remove malicious extensions and check for privacy violations.
- Incogni.com (100): Delete your personal data from the internet and protect against scams and identity theft.
- ExpressVPN (100) Stay secure and anonymous online - Best VPN Out There
Can you see anything interesting? The GoingFast scam (aka the Going Fast redirection) lies in the domain name. Look at the very top part of the image. In the browser, instead of showing goingfast.us, it says: https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/hand-sanitizer/ID=360353-tier3
That “ID=360353” means identification for a company/individual that is an affiliate. It means that the folks behind the “Goingfast.us scam” registered the domain then redirect it to Walgreens. This also means that they will get a small commission from every sale made through that link. That’s all. It’s more of a marketing trick, not really a scam. They work for others.
Verify Any Website Here
It happens a lot these days when questionable websites redirect to approved merchants using methods that are more or less orthodox. Please send us a message with any domain you need research on to tell you more about it. Or even better, use our Scam Detector website validator to see if a website you are just about to use is trustworthy.
