Websites Selling Counterfeit Goods?! CAUGHT! By Lucy Hinderliter

     Together, the U.S. and Europe are tracking down websites that are selling phony goods to unsuspecting customers. The U.S. has taken control of about 101 U.S.-based websites while Europe has taken control over 31.
   "The vast majority of these websites are operating overseas and (in) foreign countries in which we are not present. That's part of the challenge here," ICE Director John Morton said. "We're dealing with organized criminals who ... are trying very hard not to be caught."
     Having Europe help scope out these illegal websites has brought transnational pressure to transnational crime.
     "The websites are growing more sophisticated, mimicking or even duplicating legitimate websites," said Morton.
     Shoppers who visit the websites will now see a banner reading, in part: "This domain name has been seized by ICE - Homeland Security Investigations pursuant to a seizure warrant issued by a United States District Court."
