Phony Olympic Website Scam
A commenter wrote this reply
People have been wondering about creativity of Chinese under a restrictive regime. But we can clearly see how creative they are in copying and finding loopholes, excuses and ways to getting away with it.
in response to my post -
Chinese Carmaker Copies Toyota Hybrid?
As it turns out, there is yet another something to be copied, stolen, pilfered.
Xinhua says ” A man was convicted of operating a phony official
Olympics website and cheating money.”
A phony official?
The guy was able to goad at least two people into entering fake prize drawings on a website he ‘cloned’ from BOCOG’s official site.
China is working overtime to combat:
1. online pornography,
2. illegal lotteries,
3. contraband trade
4. fraud.
The official BOCOG website gets about 1.1 million page impressions each day.
Have you ever been scammed?
