Is the sponsored link for kitchensidshop.us.com legit?

I was browsing for a deal but all of the posted deals were expired. Then I saw a sponsored link for a great deal from kitchenaidshop.us.com. Does Slickdeals let shady sites slip through as a sponsored link? I can't find much about this site and going directly to KitchenAid.com never ends up at the .us.com site.

That site is 100% not legitimate. Could you please let us know where you saw this ad or post? Also, I have moved this thread to the Site Issues and Support forum so that the team can investigate it further.

On my laptop I typed "toaster" and looked at some deals, but they were either expired or not what I wanted. The banner above the actual deals posted on the site had a few sponsored toaster suggestions (from KitchenAid, Wayfair, and some others). I clicked the KitchenAid one which lead me to that site.

Thank you for reporting this. I have passed the information on to our advertising team, and that link should be blocked
