Notes: this is the second spam-scam in recent days where the criminals have registered their domain via Above.Com.

UPDATE

We sent a message containing a link to this article to that company about this clear fraud. This is their response, which makes it clear that they have failed to understand the point, as they say we are the trademark holders. Hint: it's not about trademark and even if it was we are not Western Union.
