I've been ripped off!

You would think that someone who had the funds to buy decent domains like Savingenergy.com could pay for there own design!

Take a look and then look at www.pregnancy.co.uk

The only reason I found it was that he had even left my Adsense code on the site when he ripped it and it was reported as a non allowed site in my Adsense control panel.

Not really bothered, just think it's a bit out of order! Anyone know this Darren Emery from Tempest Media??

That really is a crappy thing to do. I can't see any reason how someone could justify ripping off a design - also tempest media say they are graphic/web designers. Even if you are impressed with someone else's site you shouldn't just go copying it! And you can't even make the money from adsense either

Not very nice at all,

Even cheeky enough to include a copyright mark :s

Well, it's no consolation, but Scott's sites do have a nice clean look about them, wrong as it is, you can see why it happens. Well written sites are always the easiest to rip.

I've been copied several times and usually find it via the massive spike in referrals from 99designs...

"i want a site like this"

So knob head designer in whereverland just rips the site.

Annoying.

What a cheek!

Have you looked in 'their' source code?

This has been left in from your site:

Code:
  <li><a href="#">Choosing babies sex?</a></li><li><a href="#">Pregnancy Symptoms</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Lifestyle Changes</a></li>
  </ul>
  <ul>
  <li><a href="#">Baby Making 101</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Suspecting a Problem</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Ovulation Calculator</a></li>
  </ul>
  </div>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Saving Energy Gadgets</a>
	<div class="sub" style="left:300px;">
    <ul>
    <li><a href="#">First Trimester</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Second Trimester</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Third Trimester</a></li>
    </ul>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="#">Pregnancy Problems</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Twins & Triplets</a></li>
