Strawpoii.me

Strawpoii.me was a screamer website that was meant to trick people into going to a fake strawpoll.me domain. The link was meant to be sent with the last two letters capitalized in order to look similar to an actual StrawpoLL link (note the Ls), misleading the recipient of the screamer.
Once opened, the website would display a flashing picture of Amy Peterson from Fright Night, along with an extremely loud screech. At the top, there was text prompting the user to copy/paste the screamer link. If the user closed the page, a confirmation pop-up would appear saying "Sure?". The website is currently defunct, meaning it no longer exists.
History
The site used to display a flashing picture of Jeff the Killer along with an extremely loud scream, using the same .swf file as Anne.jpg. The earliest archive (from 2014) states that over 46,411 people have visited the site. In 2015, the website turned into a flashing picture of Amy from Fright Night accompanied by a loud screech, and stayed that way until it went defunct.
There were also mirrors that the creator has hosted, including: "strawpoli.me" and "strawpoil.me". Strawpoli.me used to be a URL shortener until around 2016 - 2017, when it was changed to the flashing picture of Jeff the Killer in video form.[1]
Mirrors
A website called "Troll Feicebruque" was launched in 2011, with a similar goal of misleading the user. The website: jultavling.se was registered as well. The hoster of the site is Swedish. We-All-Short.tk was registered in 2015. This one, in particular, does not have any archives to its existence whatsoever.
The original site was later closed along with its mirrors.
