I just got an alert on one of these Google Groups sites. It is at http://groups.google.de/group/ovsygacepypoyhemi/web/specialty-personal-planners and it looks like they've scraped the homepage content from one of my sites. The lady who told me about the Google Groups problem said she visited the site and couldn't get out until it finished downloading some ActiveX file. As far as I know this URL is not the site she visited, but she's out of town until Monday. This doesn't look like the same technique though, it's plain scraped content.
