Best Answer

Websites pretend to be other websites for a variety of reasons.

One reason is to gain information from others (phishing). The information may then be used for illegal purposes such as identity theft.

Another reason is for the advertising money.

Some websites pretend to be other websites in order to infect computers with malware. Malware is used to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer systems.

A website pretending to be another website may also be doing it to spoof or parody the other website, to criticize or make fun of the other website.
