[edit] Evidence of fraud
Each manufacturer whose copyright is being blatantly infringed provides warnings of these scam operations. For example, see the Breitling front page which states
BEWARE OF FRAUDS Do not buy any Breitling products on the Internet: 99% of the Breitling products for sale on the Internet are fakes. The others are second-hand watches or models of doubtful origin.

[edit] History of the Spam
This has been going on since at least August 2006 when web site www.speckialplanez.com was reported, registered by Paul Gregoire, an alias for Alex Polyakov. That was using name servers on domain sportystuuff.com, also attributed to Alex Polyakov. The registrar sponsoring Polyakov's operation back then was Ace of Domains, a subsidiary of Seevast Corp. Note that in February sportystuuff.com was still active, providing name service to a long chain of newer domains.
A recently spammed web site (Feb 2007) at mumqwplings.com is registered by Paul Gregoire using name servers on domain hairyolddns.com. The registrar for the name server domain is again Ace of Domains.
More recently (March 2007), access to ED Pills and Replica Watch sites have been sponsored by registrar Network Solutions through the registration of domain eggbacondns.com which acts as the name server.
Also in March, name servers on weekenddns.com were registered on DSTR Acquisition by the same Paul Gregoire, which Spamhaus records as an alias for Alex Polyakov.
In June 2007, the operation tried to take hold at Gandi.net, though was quickly suspended. It was registered under the alias of Gregory William.
[edit] How to Report this Spam
You can use the Complainterator, or use the following format, substituting the spammed domain and its name servers as appropriate.
Complain to support@moniker.com. Request the name server domains be locked out from update, transfer, delete, placed on clientHold, and the address records set to 0.0.0.0. Here is a sample reporting template:
Registrar: ACE OF DOMAINS, INC Dear Registrar This is a request for you to remove the Alex Polyakov domain hairyolddns.com and to remove its name server Address record ns1.hairyolddns.com and ns2.hairyolddns.com From this link, you can see that it is used as a spammed site's name server: > http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/traversal.ch?domain=mumqwplings.com&type=a From this link, you can see that your company is the name server's registrar > http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=hairyolddns.com&email=on To effectively remove the name server, set the name server Address record for ns1.hairyolddns.com and ns2.hairyolddns.com to a nonroutable address such as 0.0.0.0 or 61.61.61.61
Then set the status of domain hairyolddns.com to
clientTransferProhibited
clientUpdateProhibited
clientDeleteProhibited
clientHold
You can test that this has been successful, by using the above traversal link.
