Well that didn't take long.
Less than 24 hours after the United States Postal Service launched an official website for Americans to request free rapid coronavirus tests,Watch Wife Having Sex In Front Of Husband Online websites with suspiciously similar URLs are trying to lure people into purchasing pricey tests. That's right, the scammers are here.
For the record, the official government website for ordering free rapid tests is https://www.covidtests.gov/ (a link on that page takes visitors to https://special.usps.com/testkits). Despite the similarity, sites like covidtestsgov.com are notofficial government sites — and in fact links out to expensive rapid tests for sale.
And we do mean expensive. Clicking through covidtestsgov.com's "At Home COVID Test Kits" option will bring a would-be visitor to another site where rapid tests are listed for $39.97 per two pack. Again, the USPS will mail up to four tests per household free of charge.
Last week, the Federal Trade Commission warned of fake in-person coronavirus testing sites. The issue of fake testing locations, in other words, is very much on the government's radar.
Notably, according to a WHOIS lookup, covidtestsgov.com was only registered on Jan. 13, 2022. Meaning, in all likelihood, the strikingly similar URL is no coincidence. Rather, it suggests an attempt to snatch up possible lookalike URLs ahead of the White House's announcement of the official free COVID test webpage.
And covidtestsgov.com isn't the only COVID testing website with an eyebrow-raising URL.

We reached out to USPS and asked if it had any comment on these lookalike URLs, but received no immediate response. We also reached out to the White House press office in an attempt to determine why the administration's plan didn't involve locking down similar URLs ahead of the https://www.covidtests.gov/ website launch, but were unable to get anyone on the phone.

Indeed, it's a sad tradition dating at least back to the days of Hurricane Katrina.
Hopefully we've all learned something in the intervening 16 years — even if our elected officials haven't.
