Please do. His whois info may, or may not be correct. His main email is [email protected] and that is his paypal. Somebody else in this thread said his name is Daniel, that does not match his whois.

jscott · 03-30-2012, 11:21 AM

Ok thanks man, stealing your sites then trying to protect himself using "it's competition" is just fucking horrible, man I'm so glad I never dealt with this piece of shit.

scriptguy, man, horrible what you've done

Well at least the thieving piece of shit admits to it. Can't believe he has the balls to come on here and say he took your idea and ran with it. I wouldnt give a shit if he stole scripts, database, whatever, just the fact that you hired him and he took your model is fucked up enough. Fucking sociopath.

Saving 75% on coding fees by hiring some toerag from Romania just go and cost you your business.

I've forwarded all the information to the people that need to know. Now my attorney is taking care of all the takedowns required.

Could be a guy from Romania, a guy from the states, anybody. My point of this thread is to make sure *** scriptguy *** doesn't do it again.

It is no longer 1 sided point of view either... scriptguy posted in this thread and admitted to taking the idea. He said he redid the programming (which is bullshit)... he absolutely, 100% stole the files and databases.

That's assuming you know what they are doing when it is right in front of you. People get hired because the hirer doesn't know how to do it themselves.

you guys are delusional if you think "teamviewer" or "don't give them root" is going to save you from a skilled programmer that wants to steal your stuff... the only solution is hiring someone reputable that you trust... avoiding programmers that bill $5/hr from 3rd world countries is probably a good idea too, they have nothing to lose, so odds of getting fucked are pretty high...

delusional because you think you are doing something to stop them from stealing your stuff, when in fact you are not, you are just giving yourself some false sense of security...

did you ever consider that some professionals don't have time to deal with games like that?

tell your lawyer that you will "teamviewer" him while he works on your stuff, and I bet you, you will be laughed out of his office...

The contract was for him to correct the contact us form and make email verification required. It is understood from any legal avenue and common sense that hired programmer does not download entire content of server and then almost 2 years later put them on his own domain names.

I've said all this in previous posts.

Enjoy your weekend, been a very productive week, pop your collar, and most of all TGIF

I know it will be hard but try not to let it ruin your weekend...better days ahead

Take comfort in the fact knowing you did a good deed by outing a thief, and now many in the business have taken your heads up and will be extra careful

I wanted to post this as well, your offer is very much appreciated.

I'm unsure though what this statement means "There's very good odds (can't promise) I can find them within a day or so, especially if he's in EE,".

Find who he is, Name, address? Or find all of his sites? I know of 6 that are based on my files.

If he's in Romania (Eastern Europe) and you know who he is and where, well this opens many different options for you. First understand in EE they take great pride in fucking over Americans, but most are stuck there and can never leave.

This culture thrives on gossip as they like to brand each other in their communities and this brand lasts a lifetime. Second, if he's webmaster and making money he's not in the local thug social scene and probably keeping a very low profile for wealth preservation. As crazy as this sounds, there is a perception of a mafia type mentality everywhere as you truly never know.

So if you expose this guy as a wealthy internet webmaster who fucks over people even if he's not, I assure you sooner or later someone will confront him about it, real mafia highly doubtful, fake wannabe mafia who got caught and now work as ferrets for the police? Absolutely.

WTS, Eastern Europeans biggest weakness is their family and a simple brand will cover them all for life. They thrive on talking about each other and highly suggest using this angle especially if you find out where he lives. In short, they can never shake that village mentality even if they live in the city.

If I read the complaint correctly, he stole more then just your concept? Meaning, if he stole just a concept, welcome to the internet, but if he stole your web properties and profiting from it and thinks he can't be touched in Romania? Well, he's in for a big surprise.

Finally, what are you expecting from him? What do you want him to do., ie the end result?

Wow, quite a read. I don't have much time right now, but I want all his domain names.

I know he is reading this, and what you wrote is pretty powerful.

As this is currently pending, I am going to keep silent as far as the actions I am currently taking.

Do you think his whois is false? He was very sloppy with everything up till now so I have a suspicion it is accurate.

I tend to take longer the second time...

First time is usually just a hack that gets little bits and pieces added on, the bare minimum. Edit it until it no longer dies with a parse or runtime error.

Second time is often a complete rewrite, sometimes in another language, with more thought about how to code around soft errors (restarting from a waypoint rather than dying with a fatal error), better use of memory, disk space and access, etc. I often go back to it and do little refinements here and there.

I should add this is for my own use only, I wouldn't be giving hacky half tested code to anyone else... unless it's a favour for a friend

I hired him for some easy job but he was so unresponsive I cancelled it. I would never give him access to databases, though.

Anyway, for something as easy as a form, you should ask the coder to do all the work in his production server or his own computer, can't understand why you give access to your stuff to unknown people for such small task

Then I hit PageInsider Then reverse IP Lookup (not 100% reliable) Then hit Archive.org and pulled old contact information on some of the sites and googled that. This lead me to forums he visits for fun and read his post (Google translation is your friend). I was able to encircle this guy in less then 20 minutes.

The only reason I stopped is this guy is NOT hiding and could of easily covered his path better if he's a scammer. So Beaner, let me ask again? Did he "just" steal your concept because in my opinion, although shitty, it's the Internet and concept stealing is a sport.

BUT if he took more then just your concept, well then he's easy to find.

Nice. Would be nice to see those other forums. I mentioned before he was very sloppy, was easy for me to track him down once I saw his sites (aka my sites).

What is an email I can send you something? I think you have put enough effort into this and should read it. I just ask you keep the details private and post back your thoughts.

(If you question yourself that a programmer can't replicate any website then you are delusional)

I know why you are upset, you are upset because until now you didn't have any competition in that niche and that's why you are throwing stones.

But this is not how you handle competition if you want no competition then you try to acquire competition. I've taken a look in the niche and I saw companies that offer desktop software for almost the same services. Are you going to go after them as well ?

If you want my domains you can say so, maybe we can reach a deal if you want to acquire your competition.

Just take a look at tube sites, what if only one tube would have a monopoly on all traffic?
If another tube site came he would try anything in his power to acquire.
Without competition we wouldn't even have facebook.

As a last warning, I'm telling you this: stop with the hate words because I don't like to get mad.
Just play this game fair! Or you are too afraid?

You have to be the scum bag of scum bag’s and also a real moron to think you can justify a move like that.

Your new logo;

scriptguy “we specialize in site development and programming and do a good job at it. Unless of course we feel your project has potential, in that case we just take it for ourselves.”

I'm not Eastern Europe but the difference in moving from city to village is very noticeable. EVERYBODY seems to think whatever I do is their business now

Scriptguy was hired after the sites were complete, to take care of a contact form, etc. Instead, he downloaded the whole site, scripts, text, everything. The main scripting wasn't anything he wrote - he straight up stole it. Having seen the sites myself, the text is copied straight from Beaner's site.

Mark from GTS (Gallery Traffic Service) did this same thing, yet somehow people here still do business with him. His excuse was "it wasn't supposed to be a carbon copy" -- as if that somehow justifies it. Huge breaches of trust with clients between all of these chumps.
