Quality site = Big Scam - The olympics
This article http://news.ninemsn.com.au/olympics/article.aspx?id=608534

Shows how looking at a site is no indicator of trustworthiness. This site looks excellent. Has PR of 4 and has ripped people of for 000's of $$$$.

The most professional looking scam site I have seen. If I had been looking for tickets I could have easily been ripped off here. Buyers beware....

I got contacted by someone a while back looking for a SEO to help promote iPhones... the short of the story was he didn't have any iPhones to sell... he only wanted to advertise that he did at an unbelievable cheap price that 10's of thousands of people would put their CC into his site... and then he would just shutdown - kinda like a 'going out of business sale'!

I can't believe that the credit card companies allowed the transactions to continue. Why didn't they grab the people on the other end of the money stream?

I love to see those organizations/site owners and developers jailed.

I'm suprised at that as I had 7 olympic domain names registered for London 2012 the second it was announced.

The olympics comittee threatend legal action and told me tot ake them off line.

I was only using them as SEO test domains and planned to sell them on later.

Oh well.... it was worth a shot!
