[rctempire]

Go to www.google.com and type google2

LOL

How fake is this then

"©2003 Google"

If it's fake, the creator is in a shitload of trouble.

I think it must be "fake" (as in, not owned by google). on the google-2.com search page it says, "New!! Make your searches in the best PPC Search Engines Directly from Google-2. Actually featuring [my emphasis]

Seek99.com"

seek99.com calls itself a powerful and accurate search engine but in actuality looks like one of those sites that sometimes pop up when you type in an incorrect address and sometime reset your homepage/insert itself in your favorites/etc. I didnt dig into seek99's background at all but I do think that the above remark from the page is pretty telling.

additionally, google-2.com is registered to an INDIVIDUAL living in Spain which seems to me to seal the case. theres no way that google (an "american" company) would do business that way imho.

It definitly looks like some company overseas who has tried to cash in onto the google popularity. The phone number looks faked, but I do not know of the structure and format of non-US phone #s.
