The prank - You think you are going to Zara, but end up in H&M!
This has gone viral yesterday in facebook.
When you type www.zara.com.tw, you are expecting to enter Zara's Taiwan website. However, you will not be landed at Zara official website. Instead, you are redirected to it's competitor, H&M's Taiwan website.
Why is this happening?
Did H&M registered rival's domain name do divert the traffic?
Is H&M cybersquatter?
Upon checking the whois database from http://who.is, found that the domain of www.zara.com.tw is registered under a guy name Elton Wang.
This domain was registered on 22-Dec 2015 and will be expired on 22-Dec 2016.
Netizens believed that this is a prank by this individual name Elton Wang and there's nothing to do with H&M.
There is no official statement from H&M and Zara regarding this domain name issue.
