Re: OT: Golf website - dodgy ??

["Dave" <dave_mclaughlin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is very suspicious. The domain is only registered since late Nov
yet there are comments from as far back as May which would make this
impossible.

If this is a scam, then it is well put together. That's the trouble these
days, they are getting far more industrious about it.

Get your Dad to call his credit card company. At least he is protected by
using a credit card.

raised my concerns - no address, no phone number, no ownership details and
a quick whois search shows the registrant in Ohio, domain only registered
in November and the same registrant owns another 144 domains. Price for the
putter was way below other online retailers.
