    Why feed the rulebreaker/rogue broker?


    (And they wonder why brokers get a rough ride here when they happily do all this till they are booted off)

    I doubt they are a broker. No details whatsoever on their website - just mention that requesting a quote allows a FCA registered firm to make contact.

    ps I'm not convinced about the OP either - insists on mentioning a website frequently.

    See what happens when you feed them?? (But he's on borrowed time here!)
  • They're just a lead generator site, by the looks of it operating out of india:
    http://whois.domaintools.com/betterlifepolicy.com
    Registrant Name: Harminder Bakari
    Registrant Organization:
    Registrant Street: VS Complex, 30th Cross
    Registrant City: Tumkur
    Registrant State/Province: IN-KL
    Registrant Postal Code: 572 102
    Registrant Country: IN
    Registrant Phone: +91.9686552057
    Registrant Phone Ext.:
    Registrant Fax:
    Registrant Fax Ext.:
    Registrant Email: njhakra@gmail.com

    Still should be under the oversite of the FCA or an FCA regulated company unless the rules have changed.

    They'll get shut down fairly quickly, if nothing else but for the trademark infringements unless one of the regulated companies is legitimately giving them lead generator status in which case the site needs a lot of work to make it legal.

    Now you've fallen into joining in the feeding - and provided them with a clickable link (which brings another link to their website which (up to now) he has been denied).
  • Can you do me a quote?

    The link doesnt go to their site, it goes to domain tools that shows whos the owner... plus allows some harvesting programs pick up their email address so that they can get some nice emails about reclaiming their PPI etc

    Yes.


    The link goes to domain tools which in turn gives a direct link!


    Why feed him at all?


    Just means he gets the last laugh, and a free plug, thanks to you

    SEO benefits really are not going to filter from here to the domain tool to the site.

    No one is going to wonder what the domain tool site is and then decide to click on the link

    These threads will all be purged of all reference in the relative near future.

    Still gives a bit of opportunity for spammers to pick up email address, telephone numbers etc

    What are you on about?


    The rogue broker has been dealt with by MSE.


    But you inexplicably link to his domain tools which in turn provides a direct link to his site. You also quote his site too. Who gets the last laugh, thanks to you?

    Not sure that anyone can help you though!
