I'm not sure I've chosen well to post this, so please move it Paolo if you feel it's placed wrongly.
Was reading up on scams, both from our prospective and that of the punter who wants (quite rightly) assurance that the property exists. I came across the whois site which I'm sure many of you already know but I was ignorant

Another interesting site, but only for the US, is WeGoLook. I'm not aware of anything similar in Europe.
Perhaps we should start something up on those lines for ourselves?
