Looks like a SCRAPER to me.
I've reported it to StackExchange staff. In the future, feel free to either post here or to do so directly yourself: A site (or scraper) is copying content from Stack Exchange. What do I do?
Basically it's just: use the contact us link, submit the URL of the fraudulent question, the URL of the real question, and any additional information such as the search term that you used to find the question (particularly if it shows up higher than the original page in the Google search).
Thanks for reporting it!

The super-pathetic thing about some scrapers is they get high rankings for the questions I have and when I get there am only frustrated that the structure of the scraped site is so far removed from the quality of SE! One can only hope that they realize that imitation-via-theft is not flattery! Grrr! Oct 24, 2014 at 4:33

@cabbey Well, SO/SE do permit sites to repackage their content - as long as they follow CC BY-SA-With Attribution. There are sites that follow this, and are fine; they largely grab the SE data dump and use that for their own database. Then there are these kinds of sites...– JoeOct 29, 2014 at 15:36
