1. A computer system for investigating a suspicious uniform resource locator to determine whether a server referenced by the uniform resource locator may be involved in fraudulent activity, the computer system comprising: a processor device; and a memory device coupled with the processor device, the memory having stored therein a sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor device, cause the computer system to: access a data source to obtain data about a suspicious activity; obtain, by downloading, using a master computer, the data from the data source, the data about the suspicious activity; ascertain, by parsing the obtained data, a uniform resource locator that relates to the suspicious activity, wherein the uniform resource locator is associated with an anchor, the anchor comprising a displayed address; ascertain the displayed address indicated by the anchor; ascertain an actual address associated with a server referenced by the uniform resource locator; compare the displayed address with the actual address associated with the server referenced by the uniform resource locator, wherein the displayed address comprises at least one of a first domain and a first internet protocol (IP) address, and wherein the actual address associated with the server referenced by the uniform resource locator comprises at least one of a second domain and a second IP address, and further wherein the instructions cause the computer system to determine whether the displayed address is different than the actual address associated with the server referenced by the uniform resource locator by performing at least one of a comparison between the first domain and the second domain, and between the first IP address and the second IP address; obtain, using the master computer, domain information about the displayed address; obtain, using the master computer, WHOIS ownership information about the displayed address; compare the obtained domain information about the displayed address with the WHOIS ownership information about the displayed address; and based on the comparison of the obtained domain information about the displayed address with the WHOIS ownership information about the displayed address and the comparison of the displayed address with the actual address associated with the server referenced by the uniform resource locator, determine whether the uniform resource locator is fraudulent.

A computer system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the WHOIS ownership information about the displayed address comprises information about a domain registered with respect to the address.
