Cheeky Bleeders!!!

Due to hitting the wrong key this morning. I found out that someone has registered the domain monetsavingexpert.com and put links to dodgy get rich quick schemes on it. This looks like an old trick of registering a domain based on possible typing errors around a genuine site.

Very cheeky.

Isn't there a problem registering or copyrighting something that is too similar to one already ? not sure but I thought there was, I remember there being some fued over posh spice and some football club not too long ago and I'm sure that can't have been the first and only time thats happened :rolleyes:

but actually I do think filth should be banned now you come to mention it

I only found this scam site because of the troubles with the servers and this site. Normally, I come straight in the chat forums through favs or a link in an email.

When the site was down recently. I was checking if it was really down (or me), and pinged this site. I got a response from the ping, and was sitting there wondering what the problem was. It was while I was having a think that I spotted my typo. When I pinged this site (after typing again), I got no response and knew (once again) that the servers were down.

That's when I had a look at the other site in my browser and found out what they were up to.
