I wasn't quite sure how to categorize this one, because it's an online extension of a traditional scam: the sale of fake works of art. Coxsoft Art has the story.

I was wondering why I suddenly received so many suspcicious new accounts, and it turns out I didn't have CAPTCHA activated for the new site!

I still don't know why that blue box is showing at the top of the front page... (fixed Dec 22!)

BogusArtFair.Info has been upgraded to accomodate some new behind-the-scenes features to help it run more smoothly. A new theme has also been implemented.

The management of inactive accounts is now automated. Accounts which have been inactive for 6 months will be disabled, and accounts which have been inactive for a year will be deleted. Full details can be found here. Visitors can still receive updates via RRS feeds for BogusArtFair.Info without creating a user account.
