I have just received a notice about a probable fake Sealand site.
The message, from Ms. Tiffany Lavender, is as follows:
"I have run into a German domain web site that claims to be of the
Principality of Sealand ( http://www.principality-of-sealand.de/ ). It
provides warning messages regarding the fake Sealand passports and
signed by Johannes Seiger. While the warning message gives viewers an
impression that it is a real Sealand web site, the following paragraph
makes me feel a bit suspicious: "Please note that sovereign power of
the Principality of Sealand cannot be exercised by the deposed Roy
Bates or his collaborators."
Since when was Roy Bates "deposed"?
Also, one page on the site,
( http://www.principality-of-sealand.de%2F )
mentions the work of "a Sealand scientist and researcher" developing
some sort of "free energy" motor (Shades of "Atlas Shrugged"!). This
whole thing smacks of hoax and fraud.
I have sent this information to Prince Michael of Sealand (at the
address on the REAL Sealand website; http://www.sealandgov.com ), and
also post it to this newsgroup, so that the word can go out that there
is another charlitan falsely flying Sealand's colors.
Please remember that http://www.selandgov.com is the ONLY OFFICIAL
WEBSITE of the Principality of Sealand.

Before you buy.
Most likely. Ms. Lavender saw fit to do a WHOIS search for me.
