About 3-4 years back, we had come across a web-site which had copied the entire content of QualEx's web-site. We were very concerned, not knowing the motive of these fraudster(s), so we initiated a full fledged forensics. We were able to pinpoint the location(s) from where the copy and upload activity was done, but were unable to get more information. So we approached Police (IT), initially that was not taken seriously and no complaint was registered. So we had to move the Court who ordered the Police to lodge formal FIR.
Things moved swiftly then and the Police were able to nab the suspect who admitted to doing the activity.
The matter is sub-judice so can't talk more about it.
The matter ended there, so we thought! A few weeks back, I came across two more websites who have done the same thing. Nirmala and I are now Founders of two more companies! One in Hyderabad and other in Bangalore.
Copying layout is one thing, but copying content and information that clearly does not belong to you is a shameless thing to do. These guys go to the extent of showing me as their CEO, list QualEx's customers as theirs, etc.
Do not know if they are serving at-least their customers ethically after attracting them by such means.

Just hope that such people will, one day or the other, pay for their actions and such incidents reduce in future.
