Have you considered that the reason for this may be because people who have made purchases from these sites now realise that they are partly to blame for not actually reading up on what they are buying and have decided to be responsible adults and accept the consequences of their actions.

Although you asked your question of one particular poster, can I suggest that, having found a thread entitled Steps to take if you have been ripped-off by a copy-cat government website, they decided that 'customer servicing' from that thread was not all it seemed to be?

Sometimes law enforcement act in such a way to create a 'market' to woo the perpetrators of crime and then uproot the scumbags ...

So, wealdroam, is the above an acknowledgement that something is working? Or simply a post to balance collective egos on this thread?

Guys, lets all admit one thing.
It is blatantly evident that passport renewal copycats are irradicated from google search results ads. OR PROVE ME WRONG - I CHALLENGE YOU [NOTE: CHALLENGE IS ON PASSPORT COPYCATS, NOT OTHERS].

Their owners, if reading here must be bleeding in pain seeing me write this. I certainly empathise with them.
