See Known Scam Sites (click on link) as this lists those scam sites. Damned xxxx, yes the best way is to report them to the authorities. LW is open source which also means anybody can put together their own version & variations & use it. Unfortunately, some of these have used them for scam versions. 360share, etomi & Acquisition are examples of these. Who abuse the open source protocol & then sell it to whoever will buy it. These people close their source so it's not open source. Even though they ripped 99.5% of the programming off LW.

But then there's just blatent scam sites who charge people money & then direct them to the LW basic (free) version downld page.
