Yeah, it looks the same with little tweaks. My question is did those magazines feature flymaids as they are stating?

EDIT: The site looks the same and that is a clear fraud hence my question.

That's a bit brazen to make those claims on the site. They can get into trouble for that and also ruin their own reputation. So I am thinking the site is a little joke? When you click on help and go to FAQs, it labels questions as "HOT".

I think it is a joke.

You're underestimating how far people are willing to go to appear legit. Showing logos of companies who aren't your clients -- or of publications that never mentioned you -- is common. They know most people won't check to verify.

You are right. This is clearly a lawsuit waiting to happen.
