Forbes selected it as one of its "Best of The Web" sites in 2000.[2] In 2003, it was featured in PC Magazine's "Site of the Week" series,[5] and was included in their 2004 feature on the top 100 undiscovered web sites, where it was recommended as a good place to learn about scams and fraud.[6] In the 2000s it was cited as an authoritative source for scams in the financial media,[7][8] and by government organizations,[9][10] and had reportedly been frequented by employees of the US Justice and Treasury departments, as well as those of the US federal courts.[11]
In 2010, the blog was moved from its original domain at Quatloos.com to a blogspot page.[12] The updates and activity on the site lessened over the next decade, with its final post in December 2022.[13]
Etymologyedit
The term quatloos appears in an episode of Star Trek, although it may have been in use prior to this; it was the name of a currency used for betting in the episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion." It was chosen for the site as it has come to mean a "fictional currency," appropriate for a site that fights fraudulent money scams.[1]
