[GeoStL] Re: NGR: This software site smells fishy?

-
Just a few more notes about these sites.

The first softwaresbuy.com was created Feb 15 (6 days ago). The other 
one was created Jan 29 (23 days ago).  The two URL actually point to 
different IP addresses (66.197.195.135 and 66.197.195.134), but I would 
guess they are on the same machine, it just has more than one address. 
The registrar for the two domains is the same: Direct Information Pvt 
Ltd d/b/a Directi.com. The location given for them is India.

So other than the location being wrong (not Russia), all the rest of the 
info is probably correct.
