to wonder how these rip-off sites actually exist?

The above are obviously counterfeit products on sites that look pretty official until you investigate further.

I just can't imagine that these sites can exist for very long before the PowersThatBe shut them down (but who and how?).

So what's the point, are people really naive enough in large enough numbers to make creating a website worthwhile?

The'll make as much money as possible before being shut down.

And then they'll re-open with a new name.

Have they actually got the products or do they just take the money and run do you think?
