A lot of fraud is remarkably uncreative. Look at Companies House in the UK - you can spot many of the scams a mile off.



But these are the kind of properties where it takes a lot of staring at many different examples to even spot the pattern.

I don't expect that someone deciding to do their own spin on this would bother to notice these little things. It'd be like someone setting out to make their own mass-manufactured chicken nuggets, and accidentally recreating the exact set of nugget shapes McDonald's uses.
