Yikes, is this a completely fake scientific publisher?

These papers are pretty easy to detect as fakes (EV seems to interchangably mean either Electric Vehicles or Extracelluar Vesicles in this one). But it seems likely they'll quickly get more sophisticated.

Who says mdpi journals aren't thorough.. just had a request in proofing to replace all ggplot figures because it uses a hyphen instead of a minus sign. Science is saved! #rstats

Has anyone else ever had this request?
