The thinly veiled phishing scam, WikiYou.com [LINK] claims to be the "the unauthorized biography of every person on earth."
Sorry, then why does it ask for a Zip Code on the main page and make it mandatory??? do you think America is the Earth? Do you think everyone on earth has a zip code?
That’s like saying baseball has a "World Series" when only US teams participate.
Or like saying the NBA champs are the "World Champions". Ehh, call me old-fashioned but you didn’t play any other countries!!!
WikiYou relies on a person’s vanity to willingly volunteer your personal information. Don’t fall for it.
Maybe they use a geocoded ip service to change from zipcode to postal code depending on where the REMOTE_ADDR is coming from.
To be fair, the World Series does allow a couple of Canadian teams to play…
