I'm back.

Apologies for my absence, but I had some time sensitive business to take care of.

I have the chat logs in hand, and am about to go through them to post now.

My buddy would prefer to stay out of this if possible, as he is the drama free sort. I respect that, but I'm sure if he is really needed for anything he will poke his head in.

Here is the situation:

My partner had purchased traffic from GTS in the past, he had a brand new site that he personally approached Mark for advice on which traffic stream from GTS to purchase for it.

He gave Mark the site, and asked if Mark thought a certain line of GTS traffic would work well on it, to which Mark agreed.. Very impressive site, and yes.. I think that line of traffic would kill on it. The conversation was larger than that but that is the bottom line.

Mark was the only person my buddy showed his site to, because of Mark's extensive knowledge of his own traffic and how it converts best. A very "normal" thing to do.

Well, my buddy takes down some notes, makes some plans to buy X stream from GTS in the next coming days.. regular business.

To my buddies shock, around a week later.. he's going through some traffic streams checking out the competition, checking out his own sites.. as you do.. and bam, what does he find...? AN EXACT COPY OF HIS BRAND NEW WEB SITE REGISTERED TO MARK VIA GTS. A complete copy, hadn't even bothered to change the text around even a little bit, exact replica.

Infuriated, he contacts Mark on icq and here are the chat logs that follow:
