timberland-ireland.com - spoof warning

Timberland don't exactly supply cycling goods, although they do make some nice folding shoes that look handy for relaxing between stages. However, this has nothing to do with that.
www.timberland-ireland.com is a fake Timberland site. The real owner (Whois entry here) is a Hong-Kong-registered company that sells fakes.
Today's postess brought my wife a registered letter from the customs saying that they had intercepted a shipment of counterfeit goods addressed to her, and that she faced a prison term, a fine of twice their value and their confiscation unless she signed a declaration saying that she was "abandoning" them, sign here in triplicate.
We're hoping that the scam stopped there. The worrying thing is that she used a credit card and can't remember which one. We're watching our accounts like hawks just in case the data pass to further unclean hands. As soon as the debit from the HK company appears we'll stop the card.
