I'd say they want to steal any leads that come in to you guys through the website.

WHY? Someone has scraped our site and duplicated it on a similar URL. Our legitimate site is: http://www.austin-williams.com. The entire site has been scraped and posted at: http://www.austinandwill.com/ . The copy is almost an exact duplicate of our site, except they changed the contact phone number. The phone number goes to some voice mailbox with no identity. We tried to trace the source, but the IP is obscured with numerous redirects and seems to be in Russia, the registrar is in China and it's registered to me (like our real domain... except the name and email address are misspelled... purposely, I'm sure.). Obviously they've put a lot of effort into this, but WHY? Anyone have any thoughts on what they might be up to? Whatever it is, I'm sure it's not good. Thanks, Robert B.
