The "Genuine Simulation" A380 scam is taking a step further, don't fall for it !

Recommended Posts

A new warning to all regarding this fiasco..
 
NLS are the ones who make the awesome A380 project and as you know, some idiot or idiots, decided to steal their material and turn this into a scam. Now they're trying to charge people and run away with the money.
 
From NLS's fb page:
 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Genuine Simulation has announced that they have released their A380 product -> www.genuinesimulation.com/

As you can see, they are using almost entirely our pictures from this Facebook page - without permission of course. PLEASE do not purchase this as this is completely fake and scam. We have no connection to Genuine Simulation and they have already been notified NOT to use our copyrighted images. However, that was through their facebook page and thats why you don't see any images there any more. We will see what we can do against it, but its difficult as their server is located in Iran. PLEASE SUPPORT US and spread the message so that people won't fall for this scam! Its unbelievable...

They registered a domain "genuinesimulation.com" and posted a sea of lies, blatantly stealing copyrighted material from NLS.

 
They are waiting for some fish to fall into this net. Please don't fall for this obvious scam.

http://genuinesimulation.com/

I ran an 'whois' command on their domain and this what comes up:

Ofc, the query info is in doubt, what's not in doubt is the fact the DNS is in Iran. Oh well, I'm not entirely surprised.


Sorry for the double post. Lately, the forum is plagued with 503 errors and unfortunately, it results in double/triple posts. :\

This is sickening. You can even see that the text in their description is copied from the PMDG 777 product page. 

 

These low-lifes should also learn to spell before scamming people. 


Thanks,

It's even stranger that there's no "store front" from which to buy this overpriced and possibly non-existent product...

...only a link to "subscribe" to their "newsletter?" :rolleyes:

Odder still is the "About Us" page where I note that Dubai has apparently become the fifty-second State! :LMAO:

In addition, genuine simulation currently has employees and contractors located in the following US States: Utah, California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Dubai and Washington. - See more at: http://genuinesimulation.com/ABOUT%20US.htm#sthash.mig04aHO.dpuf

They even wrote "For customer support and/or technical support or product questions, please see the support tab at the top of this page". The thing is, there IS no support tab at the top of their page!

I laughed so hard when I saw SURPRISE SURPRISE stamp on their homepage. :lol:

 

"This is addon with Incredible features and genuine Simulated with the most accurate and ultra-realistic simulation and incredible disigning of the world's most popular airliner and also Airbus Officially Licensed. So get ready for flight by AIRBUS 380"

 

This is also what gets me to pull out the money! :rolleyes:
