So a DP Member stole my site (I mean complete copy of my site), and put it on the same domain as mine, but .info. What can I do? He didn't even change the links, the one link links back to my site. He even has my email on it. Please help.
I would contact his host if site is hosted in states. Start gathering your info. Get screen prints. Check whois If your site has been up long enough, you can use waybackmachine.
frankly, I think the guy that stole your site is the one who needs help if you know what I mean. By the way, how do you know it was a DP member?
His name here is the same as the email address. He was also asking me questions because I was selling the site, and now there is an exact copy. Makes me very very mad.
Like Smyrl said, try the webhost first. Failing which, contact the DP member and request for removal. Failing which, send a DMCA notice to the webhost; example can be viewed here
usually people who have something to hide or unethical will put their whois info under some services who provide this service. Find the relevant posts and ask the company to disclose his infos to you. Unethical chaps like these go for quick cash even if it's only a few dollars.
Depending on the hosting provider you maybe to contact the IP owner and they'll remove it if they are colocating or renting space. Keep go up the latter until someone removes it. DMCA notices work wonders.
That is bad.. You indeed mentioned in the thread that you don't want to give details to non-serious bidders for fear of being copied.. I think that gave him the idea.. i am sure he has google ads on the site... If he is copying what you mentioned in the PMs.. (SEM), banning by google won't mean a thing. Try mailing adsense support instead.. If he changes new adsence account, mail again..
The proper business way would be to get a lawyer in the country where he is based (this would cost about $100) informing the site owner about the infaction. The cease and desist HAS to be from a lawyer otherwise you are wasting your time. If you cant spend $100, then do it yourself but a letter from a lawyer shows that you are taking things seriously. I dont know about the rest of the world but in Europe, an email means nothing, the C+D has to be sent by recorded delivery so you can prove to a judge knows that the notification was received by the defendant. You have to remember that a C+D is just a notification informing the person what you want, its not a legal directive. You will still have to decide what your plan will be when the oter person ignores your requests. If you want direct action free, then file DMCA complaint with google, at least that will blacklist them on Google and gives you some ammo if you want to take it further. http://www.google.com/dmca.html
I am not giving the url out because I want my site to stay a secret. Thankfully the host took the site down.
