So in effect the equipment impersonates you so the site only sees your own useragent?

Isnt there some kind of legal framework in place to prevent someone impersonating you in order to gain a profit?

This is sounding more than a little fraudulent to me and i can see that as breaking yet another regulation. I dont presume to be a lawyer in any sense of the word but most laws are based on common sense and it strikes me that this practice would be illegal.
Yes, Fraud Act 2006, as stated in Nicholas Bohm's legal analysis.
