THE
family of Madeleine last night slammed
sick opportunists who have cashed in on
the tragedy by launching bogus websites.
A number of internet sites have
registered addresses similar to the
official campaign, in the hope of
exploiting the worldwide publicity.
Madeleine’s uncle John McCann hit at the
“parasites” responsible.
More than 60million people worldwide
have logged on to the official website
with messages of support, information
and pledges of cash since its launch on
Wednesday.
The site – accessed through
findmadeleine.com or
bringmadeleinehome.com – is hosting a
million users at any one time. But a
series of websites based in California
have been registered with similar
addresses but different spellings of
Madeleine advertising ringtones and
online casinos.
Every time a user logs on, even if by
mistake, the owners of the site receive
money from advertisers.
A web expert said that such activity was
not unusual when there was a major news
event and likened it to “electronic
flyposting”.
John McCann said: “It’s a shame people
behave like this and exploit the
generosity of the general population. I
am loath to use the word parasites, but
unfortunately that is what it seems
like.”
As part of the family’s campaign a video
of Madeleine will be broadcast at
today’s FA Cup Final on the big screens
at Wembley. |
