You should add discount-webstore.com and eicafraud.org to that list. His webserver is serving zones for those domains. He also owns discountsweb-encrypted.com which redirects to www.discounts-webstore.com

I can't get a zone transfer on discountsweb-encrypted.com because it's served by Yahoo and unlike this joker they are smart enough to disable zone transfers. In the whois we see the elusive Orlando address again.

First I want to thank you. I was in the process of price comparision shopping ipods for Christmas presents. discount-webstore had the best rock bottom prices, free shipping. Really tempting and all too good to be true. So I googled them and found your thread.

So I crossed them off my list and continued my price comparision shopping only to run into another site that looks like a carbon copy (only the name and colors have been changed to protect the innocent... lol )

BTW, he also seems to own www.universe-webstore.com, but the site doesn't look like he's completeed it yet. It's a recent registration and he's thrown an index in there that shows the same products.

This will always be your "Danger, Will Robinson" warning:

universewebstore.com FAQ page:
<=======>
What payment methods do you accept?

"We accept Western Union Money Transfer Service (Additional information on how to make the payment will be emailed attached to the invoice)."
<=======>

Also, the P O Box 99800, Emeryville, CA 94662 address is another giveaway; that address is used for many scam sites.

The reason you see the PO Box in Emeryville is explained here: http://www.microsoft.com/smallbusine...omain-name.htm

It's also rather popular with phishing sites.

i advise everyone if they are even thinkin about buyin from discounts-webstore.com DO NOT.. Its a scam, they take your money and don't send you anythin, i was a victim jus recently last week... and i sent a complaint to the internet fraud squad i'd let the authority handle them, i lost 500 USD from that site.. My brother found that site from amazon as a link for comparing prices so he thought it was a safe site, they set up everythin very well they send u a invoice in your email and everything an ask you to verify ur payment wen u send it to them, but its just a big scam.. i beeen emailing dem constantly since and they haven't replied they prob blocked me for all i know but hopefully they get caught.. If i have to find a way so they do then i will but i wouldnt want anyone else to have to go through it, so i advise not to order from them...
Enjoy your day everyone...

Hey it looks like this joker finished putting up http://www.universe-webstore.com/

The site looks fully functional now. BTW, I originally found www.discounts-webstore.com on froogle. After the little fact finding expedition here, I sent an email to security@google.com notifying them that www.discounts-webstore.com was a fraud and that it was listed in froogle. Although they sent me a canned response, they were great about dumping his inventory listings from froogle. I can't find any of his products in there now. BTW, when you find his stores on froogle, shoot them an email and they will kill his listings. For reference, here is a copy of the coorespondence I had with google:

The scam website http://www.discounts-webstore.com <http://www.discounts-webstore.com/> has a substantial number of items listed in your froogle index. They trick customers into sending them payments via western union and never deliver the merchandise. Please remove them form your website.



Thank you, SG
