UKPunting (ukpunting.com) is an escort site.

DESCRIPTION

The first time I opened ukpunting.com, I saw a banner over the site which appeared to be an ad promoting another site with a similar service. I clicked out of it using the X. I then saw a traditional forum. The layout was simple. The general theme appeared to be a default one. I clicked on the forum links, which resulted in pop-under ads in my browser. The topics were clear and filled with what appeared to be high-quality content for the niche. Most of the content was text and of people describing their services etc. There often were external links to further profiles should a reader be interested in a topic. Though it had some undesirable ads, they were not threatening. Overall, nothing suggested this site may be malicious. 4/16/2024
