The fraudulent sites tend to offer prices considerably lower than comparable legitimate sites, require payment by online money transfer, and display content and layout copied from other, more traditional e-commerce sites.   The public should be careful of websites using the Internet top-level-domains ".club" and ".top".  The public should also be cautious of web addresses that have been registered within the last six months.
