People are trying to make money on domains related to the tragedy in the US

A few hours after the tragedy in Virginia (USA), people began to register the relevant domains. Dozens of people have purchased domains like vatechbloodbath.com, virginiatechmurders.com and blacksburgmassacre.com. Several domains were immediately put up for sale on eBay online auction.

Some of the other domains for auction are: vtechkilling.com, vamassacre.com, vatechcarnage.com, virginia-tech-rampage.com. The price of one domain varied from several hundred to tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars for the opportunity to buy it without bargaining.

The owners advertised domains like this: “a great domain for a memorial site.” However, the administration of eBay subsequently deleted most of the lots that might seem offensive.
