Right, but it's not the relatively knowledgeable user (of anything) that falls for these scams. So I think it's a good idea to add a rebuttal so that the average user won't fall for the same. Might be a good idea to do a generic search engine sweep every other month to spot these. I know it's like herding cats, but perhaps we can catch the the most blatant ones & lop of their tails (figuratively speaking).
