Dubious "Clone" Website

[FishyInverness]

I'm sure it's not something anyone here would fall for, but we've just discovered the following website after being made aware by a customer informing us that they had claimed we are "their" representative in the UK :

www.gaelforces.com

Which has used very similar logos and colours to Gael Force Marine (UK), this site was only registered a month ago, and certainly does not have the authorisations in the UK that it is trying to claim.

It categorically has nothing to do in any way with www.gaelforcegroup.com or www.gaelforcemarine.co.uk

Also, i'm not sure the last time you tried to buy a Lawn Mover (SP) for your Sadler 32, but hey, it's time to diversify!

As I say it's so full of holes it's swiss cheese like - but just wanted to put out the warning to the boating community.

Obviously in this post I am speaking as an employee of Gaelforce!

Entirely possible that the report to the service provider actually had an effect then! cheers..

Great Any suggestions where I can buy a lawn mover for my Sadler v32?

The site is down but there is still some "cache" information that can still be viewed and site images viewed:

A client of mine had his complete website cloned on the .com version of the domain (which he hadn't wanted to register). Turned out someone was selling non-existent quad bikes to Americans from a hotel room somewhere in Spain. As you can imagine it caused a lot of grief, but the site was shut down quickly after I complained to the host.

Does gaelforces do reasonably priced LAVAC toilet seat spares?
