Is this a Major Geeks page?

    I clicked on one of the ads on a MG page (forget which one, I believe it was from http://www.majorgeeks.com/Recuva_Portable_d5514.html ) and was led to this. It looks like a MG page, but the URL isn't MG (obviously) and the links on the side lead to who knows where, I'm not clicking on them. Maybe I'm just a little taken back by the cloning of a MG page and it's all on the up and up but I thought I'd at least say that there's another website out there that looks like a mjorgeeks webpage yet isn't, nor does it lead back to majorgeeks.

    Attaching a screenshot of the page.

    They kinda cloned the MG page for their MG ad page --- They asked permission first, I didnt see any harm in it. However, if it is causing distrust, maybe we should rethink that.

    All of the links in the left column of that page seem to lead to the "Reimage Repair" download page:
