I don’t know, but there’s no reason why they couldn’t be. It doesn’t have to be a brilliantly executed clone as long as it’s superficially similar and functions as a VPN. If you were downloading it from a fake website, it’s likely because you’ve not used the product before, or not enough to easily spot a fake. All they need to do is get you to install it.
But, I repeat, this is not a problem unique to VPN products. Any app can be copied and there will always be unwary users out there to download it. With reference to the thread title, the article Richard linked to is not proof that using a VPN may not be a good idea.
