Who scraped my website

Update: Okay - on further investigating, they did not scrape my site, but are using my name and domain... I have to admit I know NOTHING about how this is done or in this case, even WHY unless it is to pull people away from my online content - eliminate competition?

************************************************************************************

So somebody has scraped the content on my website domain - and even went so far as to use my name as part of the subdomain.  To be fair (?), the scraper did a remarkably horrible job and all that is on the pages are bits and pieces and when you click, you will get another page of bits and pieces. 

While I have had people scrape my content before, I've never seen someone go that far to have a screwed up website.

When I tried to leave a comment, it took my info and then informed me I was "forbidden".  I'm not sure if the nasty person pre-blocked me or if it is set up to deny all comments, but I'd love to know!

My domain: karlawhitmore.com

Hack domain:  http://work-at-home-karlawhitmorecom.yy9pl8so3.from-ca.com/ 


Bored? Copy and paste that into your address bar and have a look - feel free to let them know what you think by leaving a comment - if you can!  ;)

  1. I tried to leave a comment, and even tried to "log in". For both I received the "forbidden" message.
