Fraud Alert (not election related): I got an email from Eleven Forest,

(which I thought was a rather strange name anyway) advertising what was about to be a discontinued line of cat-themed clothing. I was puzzled as to how I was on the mailing list of a company that I had never heard of, but went to their website. Saw some cute things. But googled a bit more, found anoher company called ELVEN Forest, thought I was misreading. Googled some more. Learned that ELVEN Forest is a legit company specializing in handmade RenFaire-style clothing, a woman-owned, woman-run company located here in Colorado. The ELEVEN company is a total fraud, located in china, producer of truly shoddy, fake clothing.They are, apparently, counting on the similarity in names to lure suckers.

Now, I realize this is not terribly important on this particular day, but just wanted to put the word out.

The community agrees with you.

Scams like this are pretty common. Dozens of fake sites popped up when Trump was selling his $500 shoes. A lot of people thought the scam sites were real.
