For passport copycats - the only option was to remove Google ads to stop their penetration via search market. However, the website continue can to exists (or LEGALLY exist as people here call it) as their is currently no regulation or law to shut them down.

Yes of course you can use the phrase the website continue can to exists if you like, while the rest of us use the English translation you thoughtfully provided: LEGALLY exist.

The important thing is that you and the rest of the world you are communicating with understand each other.
This is sometimes difficult.

Copycat penetration will be curbed by the government and we now have funds for it.

Marvellous. Because people cannot be bothered to properly read what they are contracting to buy funds are being diverted from goodness-knows-where (healthcare possibly) to 'fight' these websites which the Govt. could deal with far more expediently by making the business model they use illegal OR forcing a change in the DSRs.

Another classic "love of copycat" tune.....

I am sick to death of hearing this refrain hpuse.

Totally irrational argument worthy of a primary school playground not of an internet forum.

Your posts are rambling and incoherent.

But then; I'm not bitter and twisted because I have more sense than to engage with websites which prey on the naive and vulnerable.

BTW How much DID you lose?

WOW! 'Copycat penetration'! :rotfl:

Don't you love how hpuse has aligned himself with the Government? "We now have funds....."

I don't know if you are aware but there is a "Preview Post' button.
It may help make your posts more understandable if you use that before deciding to hit the 'Submit Reply' button.

It won't help in your understanding of verb tenses and your strange inclination to put question marks at the end of sentences that clearly aren't questions e.g.

Pollycat,

I know I am in conversation with posters here those who do not even use the word 'copycat' to address these websites and trade.

I believe in a system where trade is just and based on ethics and moral.

I also think traders who are hell bend on DSR (with a website that has 4 or 5 HTML pages) to catch the unwary to channel money in their favour must not exist. Period.

So, what's wrong with aligning with the Government. Yes, I am proud to say I am, and of course there is fund allocated to tackle misleading trades such as this.
Welcome to the real world. Get aligned. Or say the least, starting using the word "copycat" in your posts ....:rotfl:

The bit in red, really? You want just and moral and ethical trading?

With whom?

Every business i know trades for profit. Some are also ethical or so they like to have us think, but they are still in business to make a profit. No one would start a moral AND ethical AND just business, they would never make a profit.

So why just pick on the copy cat sites, what's wrong with turning your moral compass to John Lewis, edf energy, barclays bank etc. All these mentioned and several thousand more make huge profits with no ethics or morals or justness.

Oh and the rest of your post is badly worded

Missprice,

I haven't see a misleading business using DSR (be it a website, service ) in trade that has been making money for long. have you?

If I am sure you have - please provide some links....Do they sell stock/options? :rotfl::rotfl:

They aren't misleading any more. They tell you what they do and charge for on the front page.
