Oh dear ... a report this morning that the Coffee Shop Facebook page has been "cloned", and a suggestion I warn members to be careful before they post there.
Firstly, I've had a look around on Facebook and the only Coffee Shop Forum page I've found is
https://www.facebook.com/CoffeeShopCRP/ which is where I expect it to be, So it looks to me like there is no problem, and that two links coming up for someone was probably a Facebook glitch as their servers updated. I can't be certain of that, so do be carful of links that you follow.
https://www.facebook.com/CoffeeShopCRP/ should link via "go to website" to
http://www.coffeeshopcrp.org.uk which has our logo, and redirects you further on to our main site. The intermediate link there is designed to provide the reassurance of a page with the same domain name as the Facebook page before sending you to proper forum content.
But secondly - why would anyone want to bother to clone our Facebook page? The main site - I could understand (we have great content) but the way-finder page??
I will be keeping an eye open and please let me know if you spot anything odd, but more likely than not, a false alarm about a somewhat underused pointer to us which in any case has appropriate security between itself and our main site. We do not, for example, allow logins via a Facebook account.
P.S. Technically quite possible for someone to have nicked and repurposed our logo!
