WIKIPEDIA: Despite Dot TK stating on their website that the "optional advertisement on your website [...] can be easily removed FOR FREE" many users of Dot TK are unable to remove the advertisements. Removing them is not free of charge but through a "premium rate (paid) SMS" service - paying to remove the ad. Dot.tk currently offers an ambassador program, in which users put a link on their website that offers the services of Dot.tk. For every person a user refers, he/she will get one "fish". Fish can then be traded in for various items, including a Dot.tk paid domain. Originally, a pop up ad was available as an option to DotTK users, but if a pop up blocker was detected, a forced intro page would display. Now, DotTK does not have the pop-up/intro page option for free domains, and all free domains must have a DotTK banner at the top of the website. In addition to these advertisements, Dot TK may sometimes display their registration page instead of the registered website, making the user's site inaccessible. As the server tries to guess your location from your IP address, you may live in a country completely different from the IP reverse-resolve - unfortunately this means the page will be displayed in a different language.
Previously, every access to a free site first would show an advertisement before the redirect to the registered site took place - unless the site manager disabled it in the Linker-Promo section of 'My Dot Tk', you couldn't have more than three free domain names.
There are reports that .tk domains have been used for phishing scams and spam.[2]
Moreover, the Dot.tk 'free forwarding service' is also widely used by spammers and scammers on free advertising services such as Gumtree.[citation needed] Despite numerous attempts to contact the 'dot.tk' abuse team, the service is still permitting unscrupulous users to set up forwarding addresses which enable them to mask their real domain name / url and redirect innocent victims to sometimes illegal / fraudulent web sites.[citation needed]

I doubt the UAE Ministry of Labour has a .tk address.

Well, mistral, this is an old story, and has been discussed in depth on the thread titled "UAE Ministry of Labour Site Web Whacked", on Feb 2008:

Done a bit more digging for you. GR and the "UAE Ministry of L" are indeed the same set-up. They've been traced back to Nigeria.
