FabSwingers.com forum: Very strange website

By (user no longer on site) OP

I just had something very strange happen. Normally when I log on to fab, I use the incognito tab via Google Chrome and I type www.fabswingers.com, today though when I did that, it came up with Fabswingers.com with a list of choices ie old women, young women, swingers etc. I logged on via my IPhone and it was fine, so I went back to my pc but just typed in Fabswingers and it came up with the listing of websites with Fab at the top, why did the full address not work

You almost certainly made a mistake and mistyped the domain and came across a page run by cybersquatters trying to profit from people doing this.

What is a cybersquatter?

I did check the spelling though and it was fine, well I hope so

Someone who takes out a domain name close to a popular one eg (and I havent tested this btw) fanswingers.com - taking advantage of slight typos to peddle whatever other sites they can

Isn't that Typosquatting, rather than Cybersquatting?
