The actual ADE website, if truly a component of the multi-commodities center, should be part of the parent website. The ADE is also registered in Wyoming, if I’m not mistaken... therefore any legit registry should, in theory, be compatible with the corporate structure for ADE, not set in California.
Just my .02, but I’m going to say this is a false flag. I would say the background image alone is a red flag, but based on the other PHI websites, nothing would surprise me here....
For reference, here’s how it works for our expected model: DMCC and DDE
I've owned numerous websites in my days. I bought hundreds of domain names and then resold them later to the companyies that wanted them. Sure wish I would have bought apple.com back in the day. There was a time when buying hot domain names was good money.
Anybody can buy a domain name, as you mentioned.
It was odd to me that it was registered for only one year. Most company register for 5 to 10 years because they don't want to take a chance in forgetting to renew and lose their domain name. I'll dig a little deeper.
