One might want to consider the personal and institutional risk of becoming the defendant in a defamation or other civil action if one does go forth and issue an "alert". There is a fine line between an unlawful scam and a clever marketing ploy. And publishing a negative statement about someone based merely on looking at a domain name and not examining actual activity and behavior may not be a safe course of action. --karl--
