I went looking for it myself - and found the same thing. Perhaps they got enough complaints, perhaps this article exposed the entrapment, who knows.
What is important is that it was posted at one time - which means that similar scams/entrapments will likely occur in the future. Just be careful.
They already had the NSA forward info to Australia on people buying “oil-trap” adapters... which were used to convert a oil filter into a silencer.
