About This Screamer
Maker	Unknown
Type	Website
Release date	2010

shafou.com is a screamer website. When the webpage is opened, a close-up picture of Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist pops up with a loud scream. A few seconds later, the webpage reloads and the screamer is looped. When the screamer image is clicked, a script will automatically try to share the website on the user's Facebook account. However, if the user is not logged in to an account, a Facebook login page will appear instead. The website contains Base64 obfuscated code, which makes it hard to actually guess it's a screamer.

History

According to Scam Adviser, the domain shafou.com was registered on November 5th, 2009. A snapshot from March 28th, 2010 can be found here, when the website was at its original state.

In June of 2010, the entire content of the website was replaced with the screamer. There was also a link at the bottom of the page that directed to another website, shafou.net, which was a blog that showed multiple pictures of a girl with Chinese text. A snapshot from February 10th, 2016 can be found here. Now, this link simply redirects to Shafou.com.

There is also a snapshot of Shafou.com from May 22th, 2011, which can be found here. It only contains colored Chinese text and links, which appear to lead to porn websites.
