Cyber criminals are stealing the identity of reputable 
science journals by creating fake web sites and using 
them to collect author fees, These fees disappear to
Armenia and other countries. They most commonly 
target journals that lack dedicated websites of their 
own. In some cases, such websites have collected
author fees of up to 500 dollars from authors for a 
paper that never gets published.
