As you already said the Ant website was registered only on June 19. Other info through WhoIs look up showed the registrant's detail was protected through a company that's considered as "smokescreen for swindler" (privacyprotect.org). The server where this site is located also has other suspicious sites (for solicitation / prostitution & so on). http://whois.domaintools.com/antisant.com Artist James Jarvis' name showed up in a string of meta tag from the site. I'm not familiar with his work. However, on Jarvis' personal blog, there is no mention of this limited edition Be@rbrick nor the design. Since he has his own toy company (Amos) so I just assume his name has been stolen / used by the scammer to make the scam appear to be more realistic... I agree with you– it’s probably a well-planned con / scam.
