Say Nyet to Time Webstore

Australian authorities have expressed concern that a website purporting to offer iPods and plasma TVs at below-market prices may be fraudulent. The website, www.timewebstore.com, lists physical and P.O. Box addresses in Darwin in the Northern Territory. As The Sydney Morning Herald first reported, however, the timewebstore.com domain is registered to a Vladimir Hotovksy in Moscow.
Other facts in the Herald article strongly suggest the fraudulent nature of the site: customers have complained that they did not receive the goods they ordered; the street in Darwin where the Time Webstore's head office is supposedly located does not exist; and the bank account used to pay for a $17,000 newspaper ad directing people to the website was false. Also, for what it's worth, the administrative and technical contact for the company hosting timewebstore.com's servers, hqhost.net, is a Sergey Sabatyev in New York City, and hqhost.net has numerous links to Russian websites, including porn sites.
As of this writing, www.timewebstore.com is still up and running.
