Huh, there's a row of identical icons of 3 blue circles (search for cashadvancewow[dot]com) and all the domains using them are loan-related. Interesting way to do forensics on clone sites (although trying a few of them, they're not showing any icons right now, and the URL /favicon.ico 404's)

And I checked a few of the sites, I just got lorem-ipsum style landing pages. I wonder what's the point, or are the scammers using the domains mostly for emails?

There are multiple runs of "just a bit too abstract" icons that point into the abyssal cesspools of the Internet. Most of them seem to be about loans, so I'm going to avoid announcing that too loudly if I ever need a loan, since clearly, there are some scumbags out there.
