One of our readers reported a scam website being used to convince potential victims, that there is really an account with money in it.

The weakness of the crooks having their own domain (in this case http://www.bbplc-uk.com/uk/index.htm) is simply the fact that to own a domain you have to give details to the registry, such as name and address. These crooks are hiding behind PrivacyProtection.org, which hides such information in the registry database with it’s own information.

This works as long as nobody reports the website being used for online crime. But, of course, we did just that today, didn’t we.
