ah, ok... so, I guess I'll just act like the sysadmin I'm paid to pretend to be ....
*cough* poking around *cough* their site, I can tell you a few things:
Open ports on the server... 21, 22, 23 (amateurs), 25, 80, 110, 2000, 3306, 8007, 8009, 8080
It's also running an early 2.4.x linux kernel.
Seeing some odd ports open, one might be tempted to see what they are...
(/home/jeff) # telnet paypal-secure.com 25
Trying 64.6.247.233...
Connected to paypal-secure.com.

So, It's pretty safe to assume that Mr. Landon Dirgo is either the person running the little scam, or an innocent hosting agency. Lompoc is 150 miles outside of LA, in Santa Barbara county .... So anyone wishing to turn these fine fellows in might want to pick an address from
here or just submit a tip
here, or, just call (805) 737-7737 , and let the sherriff sort out the guilty from those who host them (if it really is an innocent host, and from digitalspace.net's website, it appears that way, then they'll have contact information for paypal-secure.com).
Hope someone turns them in ...
