'''[[Reed College]] tries to shut down copycat scam website'''<br />
* [[Old news/April 2011|April 2011]]
Reed College, the prestigious liberal arts college in inner [[Southeast]], is attempting to battle a scam website that duplicated theirs in its entire look and content, other than the name: "University of Redwood". The clone site's game seems to be to scam prospective students in China out of application fees. Reed discovered the site in October, but is still trying to put it out of business. Reed was able to temporarily get the site shut down, but its host, GoDaddy, let it back up after an inquiry. In the meantime, Reed has been forced to quickly redesign their own online portal.
