Cameroonian scam syndicate nest of fake sites

[firefly]

The scam syndicate general rule in this area is an easy one - they are impersonating real companies, using slightly different spelling of the real ones names in the fake domains they are creating. There are cases where the scammers are impersonating even the real managers identities for their fake companies. In other words, same or similar names, exact same location - but different phone numbers and domain names.
