We have discovered different websites resembling MapQuest that are utilizing the same MapQuest format, look and feel of the real and true
"MAPQUEST.com"
When you open their webpage you get a very similar website that resembles MapQuest !!!
On these sites you can enter your starting point and your final destination. You will then get a route, just like you would on the real MapQuest.
These possible imposters are using different web addresses. Instead of using Mapquest.com they are using as an example, Mapquest, .biz, .org, .io, .info etc..
Or they utilize Mapquestdrivingdirections "dot" whatever but they will misspell something in Mapquestdrivingdirections, they will add an extra "s" to the end of directions or they will use some other misspelling to look like they are the real MapQuest.
This is an underhanded trick but they are getting away with it for now.
One of the fake sites has garnered a lot of web traffic, so be aware of the actual web address before you click to open a website that you think is the real Mapquest.
