I have plenty of these websites, I can’t understand why someone is doing this.

It is called phishing and grifting.

Many people and even software engineers fall for this all the time.

Most of these people are from crypto pivoting to AI doing this.

AI has made this easier and cheaper and it is going to get a LOT worse.

Imagine lots of websites with typosquatting and looking exactly the same as another website, vibe coded and cloned within seconds.

The public have no chance.
