“I Clicked the Wrong SGCarMart… and Found Something Interesting”

in #singapore6 days ago

If you’ve been in Singapore long enough, you know SGCarMart — the go-to site for car listings, COE updates, and auto reviews.

But here’s something I stumbled upon recently:
Uploading image #1...

A domain that looks almost identical… except it’s .org instead of .com.

👀 Why This Caught My Attention
I was searching for some used car listings and COE price trends, and in the search results, I noticed:

sgcarmart.org

Same name, different ending.
Naturally, I clicked.

🤔 What Happened Next
It loaded fast.
It took me somewhere unexpected.
And no — it wasn’t a phishing site or a scam page.
Let’s just say, it’s a clever way of catching people who don’t look too closely at the domain extension.

✅ How You Can See It Yourself
I’m not posting a direct link here.
If you’re curious:

Open Google

Search for: sgcarmart.org

Click and see where it takes you

You’ll see exactly why I’m writing this.

💡 Why It Works
People are familiar with SGCarMart

Many don’t notice .org vs .com

It grabs organic traffic without paying for ads

Have you seen other domains using this trick? Drop them in the comments — I’m curious how common this is.
