And indeed one would hope AC would read this and find a way to put an end to it. May not be so easy as it sounds though, when dealing with PEK, which I believe is handled by some local outfit.
I don't know where you guys get this idea and start making allegations like this. I've verified this & the upgrade that the poster paid and got was 100% legit, AC is well aware of it. This is not something that we do on a daily basis and for that particular instance, no one cheated.
