One morning, we woke up to see Google Analytics sending us data from an external site. When we opened that link, it turned out to be a clone of our website.

They had crawled the entire site (which was designed by our partners) and replaced the logos and text. The GA code was still there.

What next? Would love to hear more details.
Coincidentally, our site redesign was internally being worked on, and we updated the site in a day or two.

We decided it is not worth going through the hassle of chasing someone who claims their expertise to be cloning a website.

That's the product they were selling. Clone websites. And I daresay they proved their competence by cloning ours.

At least he has info on his recently created competitor's success.
