Guess what I got today? ANOTHER e-mail, advertising the SAME site, under a different name!! SurPrize, SirPrise.
http://qungfa.appspot.com/ Compare it to this one: http://caatainc1.appspot.com/ Even the body of the e-mails is the same - except for the website name: We sell quality shoes, jeans at cheap price. Accept PAYPAL for payment. And do drop shipping. We also have t-shirts, sandal, belt, bags, jacket, pant, necklace in stock. Many nice products in our site (qungfa.appspot.com) If you interest some mens costume, ladies costume or children costume, please remember our site. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us please. Your satisfaction is our goal. Best regards Wallace qungfa.appspot.com The point is, these guys keep PAYING to put up mirror sites, and keep sending out the spam to the same folks. As long as they are paying GOOGLE for the site, then everything is A-OK.
