5:45 am
costco, and i thought i had gone to costco.com. >> reporter: the page asked alan to do an eight-page survey and to say thank you offered face cream if he paid shipping. alan calmed us after four $97 and $98 charges appeared on hess credit card. >> how could you do this? costco said, this wasn't us. >> amazing. >> reporter: we shared this experience with technology analysts and learned a new term. typo piracy. the tech world calls misspelled web addresses to possibly rip you off. >> these people have no limit as to how they try and get you. >> reporter: she says some sites collect a finder's fee for redirecting poor spellers to other sites. some masquerade as a real site and dupe you into buying something. the worse case, a typo that
5:46 am
lands to malware. >> you could have your identity stoling. >> reporter: it's too complicated to fully unravel. >> i don't know how good your investigative journalism is. i know from a consumer perspective i'm not going to figure out where these people are. >> reporter: we tried with the costoco website and first searched public registries and found that address registered in russia to a person named vladimir snezco. that name associated with other typo web seitz including marriott with an extra i. verizon, missing an e. and southwester.com. one letter off from southwest.com. the real website for south weft aweft -- southwest airline. that's not the only similarity. several people posted glowing comments on southwester and also endorsed costoco in the exact
5:47 am
same order. the real sites told us they have no connection to these sites. they never asked for the surveys or authorized the use of their name or logo. so we had questions for vladimir snezco, sent messages to moscow but never heard back. when we cross-referenced the e-mail addresses used to register the sites we found more than 500 other websites. each off by just a letter or two from brand names. like google, toyota, disney, fidelity, sprint, ebay. each waiting to capitalize on your careless tap on a keyboard. >> you really don't pay attention anymore. >> reporter: but you should. >> because you just don't know who's behind it. >> reporter: after we started asking questions, southwest eee shut down the survey. >> i should be more aware than most. >> reporter: as it turns out he works in digital advertising and internet security is part of his job. alan is speaking up, because if he fell for typo piracy, anyone can.

peace. and then -- well, then there was the time an entire community needed her personal brand of healing. >> okay. these were the originals. >> reporter: let it be known that what one day might very well be a key part of the relief effort in any natural disaster anywhere -- >> then i spread these out more. >> reporter: began as a flood of papers scattered all over peyton walton's living room floor. >> this is how the original 20 matches were done. >> reporter: the reason peyton's mill valley condo looked like this one month ago is because the homes of so many people she knew looked like this. peyton has been a nurse in santa rosa for 25 years. when that city started to burn -- she went to work. for 40 hours over the next four days, peyton cared for patients at the only hospital in santa rosa that remained open.

5:58 am
at first, she was just wanting to help fellow nurses and doctors, but peyton's family matching has grown well beyond that. >> so my guesstimate is now i'm up to 5,000 individual volunteers, and we have helped almost 600 individual people who lost their homes at this point. and it's still growing. >> yes. loading it -- >> reporter: volunteers like this woman, helping families like the brannens. dad, a contractor, lost all his tools when his house burned down. >> do you want this one? >> reporter: so trisha and her husband are helping cody replace them. >> it means a lot. it kind of, you know, gives me my work back. gives me pretty much my life. kind of how i support my family. so it means a lot. >> reporter: peyton says both sides in these donations say what makes this special is that it's not just about the money or the stuff. >> thank you very much. i really appreciate it. >> reporter: it's about the
