Company registers 75+ domain names to protect its T-Mobile Money name.
Back in 2016 T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) killed its Mobile Money banking program for the unbanked. It now appears the company is trialing a new program with a similar name.
T-mobilemoney.com, a domain name T-Mobile used for the old program, now features a new program offering digital banking and a mobile wallet.
Yesterday, the company registered at least 75 typos and variations of t-mobilemoney.com and tmobilemoney.com, suggesting T-Mobile is going big on this new service. Here’s a list of some of the domains the company registered yesterday
t-m0bilemoney.com
t-mbilemoney.com
t-mboilemoney.com
t-mibilemoney.com
t-mobielmoney.com
t-mobilemoney.click
t-mobilemoney.sucks
tm-obilemoney.com
tm0bilemoney.com
tmboilemoney.com
tmibilemoney.com
tmobielmoney.com
tmobikemoney.com
tmobildmoney.com
tmobilem0ney.com
That’s an extensive typosquatting prevention plan. I’m also intrigued by its choice to register .click while skipping many other new top level domains.
Too bad they don’t pay that rate on any balance.
Yeah, whenever you see something about 2.5% these days there’s usually an asterisk.
