Separated at birth?
Dave at Zopa points to what looks a blatant copycat of their website.So the old saying goes that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery…so I guess we should be flattered?Dave's being quite polite about it I think! In the old days this might have given rise to all sorts of IP or trademark actions, and maybe it still will. I just hope a bit of old fashioned naming-and-shaming does the trick.Take a look and see what you think.
....Do your own design work next time guys!

Couldn't they at least have tried to change it a little? I don't think polite will work, go for the throat!

Boy, that is blatant. I’ve left a bit of legal advice for them.

Thanks for the support Johnnie - we'll see if polite gets anywhere (My mum would be proud!)...and then we might take some of Jack's advice on a harder line...
Some people have no shame do they?

If you think the pictures above are bad - you should compare our homepage with their homepage! It's even more blatant!
