How Typo-Squatting Works

01

You Miss A Letter

You try to dial 1-800-CALENDAR (225-3632) but you accidentally type an 'E' instead of an 'A' for the last vowel, dialing 1-800-CALENDER (225-3633).

02

The Squatter Answers

A legitimate-sounding automated voice answers, claiming to be "scheduling support" or a "travel agent." They rely on the fact that you already think you called the right place.

03

The Trap is Sprung

They ask for a "booking fee" to reschedule your appointment, or they transfer you to an international premium-rate line that charges $5+ per minute directly to your phone bill.
