It's because the level of consumer detriment, especially in regards to British Passport Services, is increasing.

Very true. Seems to have gone beyond a simple copycat trick now.

Those are phishing websites. I thought your thread was about copycat websites?

Thats because the websites mentioned in that link are phishing websites - websites that steal your log in details and then empty your account.

Totally different to the "copycat" werbsites. Its a bit like comparing chalk and cheese.

I can safely say, no-one here would support phishing websites as what they do is illegal.

Must try harder hpuse.

Folks,
Re: Phishing
Are you not following this thread?
The very same company who "sells" copycat services online are threatening unwary people who clicked by sending fake court claims.
What do you call that?

Its been over year this thread is being manned so please, if you have got nothing to contribute at least keep hailing the legality of these websites.

No.

They are sending genuine court claims, unfortunately for the people getting them.

That still has nothing to do with irrelevant phishing sites which have nothing to do with copycat sites. All the phishing sites listed in that article are US based anyway.
