in the webstudio home page, the highlighted website example leads to usmabit (dot) com. But that opens a scam amazon ripoff website.

thank you so much for pointing it out, how the hell has this happened
hey @Matheus what happened to your website?
changed the url to the new url of the designer
I will assume they changed the domain and freed up the old one and scammers bought it
That's right, I had changed my domain and asked John to make that change in the areas where he promoted me
I just don't know how my old domain was still linked to Webstudio
Thinking about it, I believe your browser cached an older version of the site (the domain change happened at the end of February)
I don't know, we probably missed that link on the landing, I jsut changed it.
Thanks for pointing this out. I had only changed the gallery page and forgot about home.

We blasted that out on socials too. Really not a good idea to change domains without keeping ownership over the first one. That's lost traffic and SEO signals while redirecting old -> new maintains them. If you can get it back, i'd recommend doing so
Scammers took over it, won't be able to get it back
Unfortunately, all I can do now is wait for the domain to expire and then try to buy it back
Doesn't matter, all good.
