Fake diving websites--watch out

[irishdiver84]

I have been reading some news reports on cdnn.info (cyber diver news network) and been on the related websites scubalinx .com where a lot of the reports seem over-the-top and extreme. I was curious about it and did some research online and there are many many reports of these sites reporting fraudulent info. I also found out there's a lot of copyright infringement going on with that website as well.

Beware of these sites! The registration process for one also asks for credit card information, which is pretty shady. There's no accurate contact info for the people behind the site either.

We usually have nothing bad to say about other dive related sites, but I will make an exception for CDNN. They are National Enquirer of Digital Diving Media and they are nothing but scam artists. There is a reward for the name of the owner of this site. Check this out: Copyright Violators: CDNN, Cyber Diver News Network, Scuba Linx, Scuba Poll, scublinx, scubapoll, cyberdiver

PS... I didn't mean to slime the National Enquirer.

Thank you for validating that!

Pete, quit being so hard on the National Enquirer, although they have lost some of their edge since they were "outed" in "Men In Black". I hear that they are owned by Mercury Insurance. I'm partial to the Weekly World News myself, but I think they have gone out of business. One can only hope ....
