What happened to Prolifesearch dot com?
Esther posted this same question last week, and I’m reposting it here in case someone who reads me and not her knows. Barb reminded me that I still had their link on my sidebar, and I have removed it. I did know that following their link took you to a website devoted to The Cure (as in the band, not as in help for mankind’s ill health). I don’t mind the website on The Cure, but it’s not very useful if one is trying to search for local cub scout supply stores.
I do suspect hacking, but it’s been a long time now – months – since their search engine has worked. They seem to have fallen off cyberspace.
I don’t know; I started getting e-mails from them advertising other services a few months ago (i.e. a Christian MySpace), but haven’t gone to check any of them out. It’d be a shame if they’d shut down entirely.
Yes, I’ve started getting emails too: 5 in August. Stuff “just for mom”, for “homeschoolers” and conservative political stuff. Weird. >>I’d hate to think they had a search engine for a year just to obtain a database they could use to spam people.
Did you get the e-mail update about them?
I got an e-mail from them saying they are officially shut down. They can’t get their domain/site name back . . . I wish I’d saved it! Apparently they had issues with the publisher of the set of books they were offering . . . so those who donated money will only get back 1/2 – from the men running the site IF it’s asked for, from their own money. Most of the stored information was lost as well, hence, the missing contacts. Apparently, some of their PC geeks quit and messed up things. Wish I could say more, but that is the little I remember. – Sarah
I actually gave my info for the “homeschool” curriculum. I wonder if I’m going to have my identity stolen now?!!
Wanted to let you know the new version of this site is Prolifeinternet.com — the old one shut down and this one is doing the same thing. Every time someone searches, the proceeds go to pro-life efforts. – Jim Nolan
