Over the past few years I've noticed a lot of generic looking websites used on fraud orders. The strange thing is many of these are registered to the same person and are common words. They all have the same basic generic website set up. Some of these sites include dr.com, engineer.com. Theres some more but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

One thing for sure though is if you ever receive an order and you check out the e-mail domain and it resembles the layout of these sites (another one that comes to mind is the-spot.com) I would say the order is VERY likely to be fraud.

Is anyone familiar with these site layouts? Is this just a generic design that comes when they buy the domain? I just find it odd every order I've seen with an e-mail domain that has this layout design seems to be fraud.

Emails like bob001@salesmanager.com, or secureorder.com, president.com, minister.com, or i am a super trustworthy and important person who will not steal from you .com, are usually used on fraud orders I've seen. I think its an attempt to make thier order seem more trustworthy or legit. Theres some free email serviced which let you choose the domain part.
