The Anonymous Widower

Beware the Copycat Websites

There would appear to have been a rise in the number of copycat websites that get you to pay for things that should be free or cost a lot less.  The story is here on MoneySavingExpert, which is always a good place to check on financial misbehaviour.

So be careful, you are actually getting the right site and not one that doesn’t just have the first paid-for position in Google!

This practice may not exactly be fraud, but surely there is an element of dishonesty here?

  1. Surely common sense is your friend here though ? 🙂

  2. I would agree, but I’ve heard so many tales about people being fooled by the Internet. It is so difficult to protect the gullible.

  3. I have to agree with Konrad, lot of people these days believe everything on the net, but what they dont know how easy it is to lie pretend and play make believe games, I prefere to use the net as an information resource and entertainment.

    My advice is to be very very very careful while shopping looking for a job or even searching for a girlfriend.

  4. I always am. I should say I’ve made a few new good friends over the Internet too! Most are concerned with being a coeliac or because of my Lotus Elan.
