Alaskan voters should be cautious of a fraudulent website, mat4governor.com, which is spreading false information about gubernatorial candidate Matt Heilala. The site falsely claims that Heilala acted inappropriately both in his podiatrist practice and during his campaign. This misinformation is presented in a letter falsely attributed to Heilala.

Search Engine Manipulation

When searching for ‘Matt Heilala for governor,’ the fraudulent site appears prominently in search results, often ranking higher than Heilala’s legitimate campaign site, matt4governor.com. This misleading search result can vary depending on the browser and device used, but it poses a significant challenge for voters seeking accurate information about Heilala’s campaign.

Browser Notifications

Further investigation by Must Read Alaska revealed that a browser notification incorrectly suggests the fraudulent site as Heilala’s real campaign site. This indicates a deliberate attempt by the fraudulent site’s owner to discredit Heilala and mislead the public.

Must Read Alaska has informed the Matt 4 Governor campaign about this malicious activity, urging voters to verify the authenticity of the websites they visit for campaign information.
