How did we miss this one? It seems to be an almost unbelievable attempt to create a scamming community on a large scale, and I was able to set up my own phony storefront selling fake goods within minutes. Yes, I am currently the proud owner of www.phonystuff.com, though I didn't get as far as choosing any content since the personal details I used were phony and they have to be verified before access to the catalog of millions of fake items may be achieved. What's created here is a Wordpress blog using a ready-made and suspiciously-Chinese looking template. The URL is chosen by the user and is immediately available. I wish some genuine webhosts were this easy to use. Whether this has fully taken off or not, I don't know. It doesn't look like it, as several pages on the site are missing, and the latest updates seem to be from last year. But in any event, it's one to note for no other reason than to demonstrate how clever the scammers are trying to be. And it's a warning, should you still need one, to be extremely careful in choosing to trade with sites that may look good, but which you have never heard of and which offer you no validated proof of ownership or address. Be very careful out there. My thanks to Jan B. For spotting this one first. http://www.sitejabber.com/users/79dd0efe2fbed8575c53a63d19e96da1
