Sorry but that makes absolutely no sense. (No surprise there I suppose). Who are the them, and why do the cops need them?

Check Post#1816

Also the clause on:

Failing to act in accordance with reasonable expectation of acceptable trading practice.

I didn't ask for advice on where to look, to try and decipher your ramblings. I asked you to explain what you said.

I note post 1816 has no thanks. Not even from hPuseless.

You do know that there aren't really a team of google analysts working to remove copy-cat sites from ad-words don't you?

As I expected - a nonsense response.

Remember - it was YOU that typed those words I questioned you about. Are you saying you don't know what you're talking (typing) about?

Whether he says it or not, we all know the answer to that question.

Another highly relevant super-contextual reply which matches the title of the thread, wealdroam ?

The National Trading Standards Board said: "Four search warrants were executed last week on properties in England, which could see the operation of at least 25 copycat websites disrupted."

"The enforcement action which the National Trading Standards eCrime team has taken demonstrates the government's commitment to tackling these scammers. We will not let them get away with misleading consumers.

Does anyone want any more clarification on how enforcement is carried out in tackling this copycat e-crime.

I think there were a few questions and challenges raised regarding this earlier - I think it was Shaun From Africa?, is that poster still around or gone hiding ?

Ah! Krisdorey, welcome to the discussions...

I do know that copycat ad-words are removed from google.
May be the people who remove them are called engineers?
