Harry Potter's Pottermore Attracting Conmen


Harry Potter Gryffindor House Scarf (Purple & Gold)
Be a Gryffindor for $15.50
The Harry Potter eBook site Pottermore has been attracting a lot of attention (as I previously wrote) even though it will not open for business until October.  This has not stopped many, many different hoodwinklers and nar-do-wells from scamming everyone under the sun.  Notices of "subscription fees" and "early openings" have been popping up promising early entry into the website for hundreds of dollars. 

Do not be fooled by this people!  This ain't no "it fell off the website so now we are giving you a discount" kinda operation.  This is the kind of operation that can kill your computer, your credit score, and possibly your pet owl.  Stay away from anyone wishing to sell you early access to Harry Potter ebooks!  I mean, it is not like you can find Harry Potter ebooks on the Internet.  Especially not a torrent file that is a direct scan of the book because finding those would be ridiculously hard.  On the Internet.  With just a search or two and a rudimentary knowledge of how torrenting works.  Can't be done.
