From Max Read\u2019s newsletter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I counted nearly two dozen accounts and websites with similar logos, storefronts, wares, and nonsense names: In addition to Narry, Himmo, Rotu, and Tadu<\/a>, there\u2019s Zodu<\/a> and Bexe<\/a>, which like the four James identified also have black-and-white logos and claim to be \u201ccommitted to providing unique products at tremendous values to our customers\u201d; Zimma<\/a> and Rommo<\/a> have identical storefronts to the Zodu\/Bexe family of shops but feature rainbow, rather than black-and-white, logos; Dula<\/a>, Potta<\/a> (or, according to the logo on the navigation bar at the top, \u201cPutta\u201d), Bezenpy<\/a>, Bezenfy<\/a>, and Tozdy<\/a>, have Zimma\/Rommo-style rainbow logos but a different storefront and a promise to \u201cdedicate ourselves to providing the latest blanket, clothes, canvas, ornament, jewels and accessories\u201d; finally, there\u2019s Poxo<\/a>, Gota<\/a>, Duno<\/a>, each of which sports a rainbow logo but claims it \u201ccurates 100 amazing fandom-related items and accessories.\u201d All of the sites sell a narrow and largely overlapping range of products, a dollar-store mix of junky gadgets, clothes, household decoration, and ear-wax cleaners<\/a>.<\/p>\n
