Beware "Design Engineering" - many papers being sent to the fake/hijacked site

For this SJR ranking and ISSN (00119342) and SJR listed publisher (Rogers Media Publishing),

this is the journal's correct URL: https://www.design-engineering.com/digital-edition/

I also suggest authors read the many comments about the problems with this journal at the SJR portal site for DE at: 

https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=28687&tip=sid&clean=0

The following URL is to the fake/hijacked site. Please note that on this site there is no ISSN listed which is technically impossible for a Scopus indexed journal as they must contain their ISSN on their home page: http://www.thedesignengineering.com/index.php/DE

On the fake site, I also note there are 19 Thai papers as of 2021.Dec.21.

These authors have been scammed if their intent was to publish their paper in an Scopus/SJR indexed journal.

Also, in the Scopus source list, there are three listings for journals which have the name "Design Engineering". Two of these are now listed as "inactive".

This email is from the hijacked journal site. This site is not Scopus indexed.
