So I spent some time online trying to prove that this a spoof site.
I checked a Whois lookup:
Domain Name: LEFTBEHINDGAMES.COM Registrar: GO DADDY SOFTWARE, INC. Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com Name Server: NS1.TIERRA.NET Name Server: NS2.TIERRA.NET Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK Updated Date: 26-feb-2006 Creation Date: 08-jan-2002 Expiration Date: 15-apr-2007
Nothing odd there except that the account was originally created on the 8th of January 2002.
That jives because later I found that the company was started in October of 2001.
But I also saw in another article that the company supposedly went public earlier this year, and I was thinking "Gotcha" in that a stock ticker symbol would be almost impossible to fake. Well they exist even if they did change their ticker symbol recently:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=LFBG.OB
It all seems to checkout. Except the checkout. Using a spamgourmet email address, impersonating Spuds McKenzie and using a previous job's street address I tryed to buy something. Now if I picked something free, it just spits me back out, but even if I select a non-free product the site NEVER went into secure mode,
My gut says it's a fake, but everything else seems real.
