Fake Page Rank Domains - Getting Annoyed!

[TopSatelliteRadio.co]

I've had several people within the last week offer to sell me domains that have x amount of page rank.

Then when I look at what the domain resolves to, I see that another site comes up. Essentially the page rank for the domain you're trying to sell is given by the backlinks from the other site! It is done through a 301 or 302 redirect and it seems that people are buying dropped domains that have a high PR, but in reality they have NO PR.

I've gotten really annoyed with all these offers, so go here:

Type in your domain - if your domain comes out as the result - you're fine, but if another domain shows and the PR is the PR that you *think* your domain has, then you have a 301/302 redirect problem!

Ok rite, if you do a 301 redirect, does your site get the higher pr after the next update, or can it happen anytime.

a 301 re-direct shouldnt be used to increase your page-rank, now you can come to know if the page-rank of the domain is fake or not.
