Hi all, As some of you may know, PS3LightsFix.com has been on the market for a couple of months and has been performing quite well and making many many sales. But, with success, comes people who want to take their share. I don't mind a little competition, but the guy below just copied my site along with Chris5123's site (I think that's his username). It really annoys me also because ClickBank approved it without even checking if it was copied. This guy even stats that the author's name is Rob Sheffield, which is on my page, with my PAID photograph. I am also telling affiliates to not promote this at all (I wouldn't even promote it, it's terribly designed). repairyourps3now.com What I would like to know is how can I stop him from going any further? What is the best action to take? I am also going to buy it and take a look at its content. Maybe the prick also copied my product too! Thanks all, Dim.
wow ... that is amazingly brazen. I would contact clickbank about it ... they can easily see that you were there first and this guy joined later and copied you. They should shut down his account ... if not that's a bit dire.
I feel for you, I would get a copy of the product - you can always request a refund - and gather some more evidence first then email clickbank with a complete list of things that have been copied - I'm sure they do take things like this seriously. I hope you get this sorted
OK, thanks all for the support. I've contacted CB as my first step toward taking this guy offline. Then I will file a complaint with the DMCA people. And then with the host. Oh, and I sent him a rather legal looking email to him demanding that he shut it down. Don't you just wish these people weren't around?
Also, if you are going to buy his product to check it out do a chargeback from your card just for the fun of it!
Hey Dim, I will also contact CB on this as it affects me as well! This guy is practically using my ecover graphic - http://www.ps3repaired.com So regardless of the product (which i am sure is a copy of one of ours - or both) we will get CB to take it down or look into it. I have got a live chat on my CB account so as soon as it is online i will report this. Cheers for letting me know about this mate. Chris
Yeah DMCA his ass, get it taken offline and any earnings removed.. into CB's pockets unfortunately lol
Should be reported, however the colors are not the same on the ebook. I can't believe the content is identical, he has re-written the guide that's for sure. The site has generated one sale at most so don't worry he won't get that far. Al.
Hey Chris, Good to hear you're having a chat with CB. I recongnized some parts are you site and some are mine, like the content and some of the images are mine that I made in photoshop! Do you want to contact the host or me? Or even better... both! Thanks, Dim.
It looks like he's being hosted at liquid web. Here's the contact info - http://liquidweb.com/about/contact.html It's hosted at ip - 67.227.212.11 If you send them the link of the perp's site, and link to your site, I'll be willing to wager that his site comes down in a matter of hours.
pretty well Id say as the site seems to be down now! Can anyone confirm what action was taken, just incase any of use have a simlar problem. Thanks
Hi all, I've taken the site down, thanks to CB (their help) and I am very glad about this. Although, after I took his site down I got a DDOS attach against my site and I have reasons to believe it was him, or maybe just coincidence? Anyway, everything's solved, back to regular sales and I am very pleased with the outcome. My verdict: Always push for what you want and don't let anyone get in the way, especially scammers!! Dim.
Hey mate, Yes I also spoke to my CB representative personally about this - guess that is one of the perks of being in CB Elite Glad we got it sorted. Chris
