Client's site viewed through frame by another

Why and is it dangerous

Searching a client's stats I came across a popular referer. I went to the site to find my client's Australian ecommerce site viewed through frame.

A whois shows these jokers are in S. Korea. Why would they want to do this? And is it likely that the original site could fall fowl of G's duplicate content penalty?

Thanks for your ideas/thoughts.

Use a link busting script. There are several WebmasterWorld threads on link busting scripts if you do a search.

I don't think this could qualify as duplicate content but from my point of view it's a content "NO-NO", because it steals your bandwidth. This would be ok with some sites, but many don't have a "remove frame" link and I think this is plain old stealing.

Just paste a 'break out of frames' javascript and it will take care of these guys

Thanks for the quick responses.

I can ban the domain from cpanel too - but that wouldn't stop it happening again in the future with other domains. So JS frame buster it is.
