Copy-cat website: www.travel-talks.net
 

Greetings

Most of the time when I search for something travel related I use google then filter out the responses from flyertalk alone, knowing that flyertalk will be one of the websites I can filter with.

Last night when I was doing some searching, as expected, flyertalk hits were numerous and can filtered to view them only. When I went to the website, it showed I wasn't logged in. Puzzled, knowing that I was logged in, I looked at the address bar, and low and behold it was not flyertalk!

It appears to be a mirrored/copied website which looks and feels like flyertalk, but is not.

Be on the lookout!!

Has this been reported before? If it has, my bad!

The domain name was only registered four weeks ago.... and it seems to be a mirror. Some companies run identical web sites under different domain names (to attract extra traffic), I wonder if this is the case here?

Would someone from IB care to comment?

It's not us. Thanks for the heads-up!

Looks like they have since updated their site. it looks nothing like FT now

It's now the "Roosh V" forum, which includes a travel section. A very inferior travel section.
