This site just seems to scrape OB, just minus the local deals here… Copying exact deal formatting, same words etc.

Any idea what gives?

Also, all the comments down the bottom refer to it as 'Slickdeals' (same name as the popular US site). Kinda dodgy huh?

But only one poster www.sleekdeals.co.nz/member/1094.aspx

Watch out for the nasty pop ups.

As someone would say It's a conspiracy from the mods of Ozbargain…

No whois protection on the domain. That's smart.

Don't forget their new Facebook page, their old Facebook page or their Twitter account.

They actually used to post on Slickdeals.co.nz until someone happily tipped off the real Slickdeals. :)

  Doesn't surprise me given that they still reference it.
  
  I guess you guys don't own copyright to what gets posted, but what can you do about that site? Anything?

What I don't get is what benefit they get from it. Does not appear to be any activity other than from samwaldo.

I'm guessing maybe it's hoping for referral/affiliate credit.
