Any way to stop them?

Paul Keith:
Nice find scancode! How long did it take you to create the table?

The best way to stop this is to alert the actual site themselves and let the rest of the community to handle it. It would also work if you know any blogger who would personally blog about this in their sites.

Hehehe, nah, perhaps an hour including finding all domains and such.

There _MUST_ be a way to stop this kinda scams. (Google banning them from AdWords, as a first step)

Avast gives me a warning when trying to visit the fake sites, be careful guys!
