technically it's a "lifetime lease" not ownership.

Not really the same thing.

There is a great deal of research involved in this site.

No the Author of this website is not the Earl of Bradford his website is http://www.faketitles.com and is aimed at more of the UK peerage titles being sold.

Though it seems like easy money for the people who market this sort of thing.
What does annoy me though is posers who make totally false claims of nobility and who wear feathers at Scottish gatherings to which they are not entitled.
This new website should afford a good way of checking out the credentials of some of the suspects.

OH what a nosey bunch ye are!

I know who they are yes, and there is more than one involved, but as far as revealing their identities, do you think that is the correct thing to reveal, look at the type of fakes and scammers they are bringing to people attention?

Some of these people they are dealing with aren't out of kinder garden!

I do understand what you are saying, but I think, nay, I know I would prefer to know who I am dealing with. I left the kinder garden many years ago!

I'm with Jock on this. I'd prefer to know who I am dealing with. If they are afraid to put their names to their views or mission, maybe they should not be taken seriously.

Well dang! Was hoping to knight myself "Sir Ronald Lord of the Canyonlands."

Perhaps impress a younger lass or two.....

No surprise! Anytime something related to titles or arms etc.. comes up on this forum, someone will want to lift the bonnet and see if the serial numbers match!
