Fun fact: MyChildrenHealth doesn't have ads for one reason or another. Also, everything in the forums is delayed, including the time at the bottom of the pages.

If not to make money, then maybe the purpose of it is to harvest email addresses (of people who try login to it) to sell?

Don't ask me, ask the Chinese kid (as 'fenzu' is supposedly what is properly called Fengzhu) who runs it.

But yeah, as it's not the exact same version of this page, the only thing that makes sense is logging usernames and passwords.

Funnily enough, most of his other 'sites' are unavailable now, which suggests that he's done this to other websites, and the owners have since gotten them taken down.

Not true.

His tiger woods site is spoofing fox sports.

All his sites are now down.

No they aren't . I just now went to one.

It could be the DNS entry hasn't propagated through the Internet yet.

When I first posted they were all unable to connect to the server, but a minute later they were there. Hence my quick try at deleting my message. Guess I wasn't quick enough. Quick and the dead. Guess which one I was. LOL!

I submitted a takedown request to their host.

thanks for the heads up.

Found this because my site is being hit by the same "Person"

I am a forum admin. It has been a long time since I've used this version of vBulletin and I miss it - quite pleased with the load times. We just recently migrated two sites into one... Windows7Forums.com and Windows8Forums.com into WindowsForum.com. I've been monitoring traffic to see whats going on. We've been getting hit hard from "priceforinsurance.com" and I found this odd. I have been interested in what this is. Looked up whois and searched on this person and found this thread. Guess what:

My thought is they may be trying to create a clone site of some kind? Harvesting of data for some other site? Either way this is bad. I have no idea what this is, but I am going to block them now. Just thought I would share this odd experience with you.

(P.S. If they cloned your site they are probably doing the same here. This has been invaluable to provide this info here. Thank you.)
