And *all* his sites are down! Server frozen!!! Thank you godaddy and well established lawyers.

Thank you Jesus H and Raymor and everyone else who has chimed in with support.

Time for him to find a new hosting company. Hope he kept backups... lol

I'm surprised you missed my 'it wasn't supposed to be an exact copy' reference last page :winkwink:

Pretty sad that he is so misinformed on ethics...

Nice that you shut his ass down.

i always hate to see someones work shut down, even if it is all copy and paste work, someone put time on it, but of course, if it is stolen work, you have to learn that stolen work may not work for long :) lesson learned, everyone may grow one day, try it guy! :thumbsup

I don't like to get mad either... I just get even :2 cents:

what a douchy statement to make:disgust

that's just fucked up...karma is just around the corner for that guy

This is why as soon as we started doing work for webmasters we divested all of our own sites. I can never even LOOK like we could have taken any client data for our own sites because we don't HAVE any sites.

You would weed out many talented and honest programmers by forcing them to do everything via that teamviewer thing... sounds like a pain in the ass

I want you to hand me over the domains. Delete my files off your hardrive, and I will consider this issue resolved and not make it an agenda to follow you around alerting everyone what you did. Some bad decision making and ethics on your part, good thing I caught you only 1 month after you reserved the domains
markj9:32 PM
JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU RECEIVED MY ICQ
Klaniak9:33 PM
Yes I did received your ICQ Message
markj9:34 PM
good
markj9:35 PM
Romanian professional engineer in the US, huh? Wow! Your choice. If I was you I'd hand back domains infringing on my trademark (no longer my copyright) since down and walk away quietly
Klaniak9:37 PM
You can buy them there are available for sale, there's no trademark infringing
markj9:39 PM
your choice. You stole my content. I even had a well known programmer document the source codes. Read the gfy thread... I also know all the forums you post on and how you get business. Maybe you should make a follow up post on gfy?
Klaniak9:39 PM
I never stole your content, do you think google maps is stolen content?
markj9:40 PM
you are one of the biggest idiots ever... what the fuck do you think those lines on the map are?
Klaniak9:41 PM
Do you think I will hand over the domains to you, not unless you pay
markj9:41 PM
kindly go fuck yourself
Klaniak9:41 PM
Here's one thing I can do, I can release the project under open source
Klaniak9:43 PM
and then you can also compare the source code
Klaniak9:43 PM
I will change google maps to bing maps
Klaniak9:43 PM
so you can use both of them
markj9:44 PM
you can do whatever you want... remember what I said
markj9:44 PM
you are a thief, a fucking scumbag, you downloaded entire server... and now I am going after your ability to process through any merchant account. starting with visa, high powered attorneys have a lot of pull
Klaniak9:45 PM
You are the scumbag, we could have resolved this easy
Klaniak9:45 PM
but you keep insulting people
Klaniak9:45 PM
next time learn how to speak with people properly
Klaniak9:50 PM
I can sell you the domains + templates but you wanted the domains for free come to me next time you want to buy them

Nicolae,

I want you to know this.

I know you are broke and can barely get by with your programming. I know you live in Romania and that you recently asked for 5K to startup a business venture and even posted that on gfy.

You have never been called out for scamming/thieving and you have never been caught before... until now.

What you do not realize is that you have now acquired a foe for life. That means, if I am in a bad mood and want to fuck with you I will.

The sad part is you have no idea what you stole. You have no idea what it does and who it is provided to. What you also don't know is that the information is only a couple months from being obsolete and a whole new set of standards will apply.

Of course, you would not know that because you live in Romania and the site is based on very industry specific information that is always revolving.

You are simply a thief that got caught. Sucks to be you.

Your new best friend

i'm sorry wont happen again.

Well said.

:thumbsup

theres only 2 programmers in adult i would ever trust. Edgeprod is one. and Nastyrat is the other.

So sorry to read this man. I hope you can do something about it

I work with Konrad, Vlad, & Vitaly currently. I have worked with borked in the past before his new gig.

All are top notch A+++.

Vlad rocks!

Only 2 in the world I trust, one is my partner, the other has been my best friend for just short of 40 years

CashX is out of business, you did not see his parked domain page?

Right idea
 

Good move on your end beaner.

Why does the rational behind the post, the way I read it, sound quite a bit like extortion? IMO, what the guy is basically saying is "I copied your site to compete with you, so if you want me to not compete with you, you have to buy my site."

Another Fabian in the making? :1orglaugh

I am a programmer and I do provide various services (see the sig) but never have even thought about replicating somebody's site/business model since I wouldn't like someone to do the same with sites I run. Being a professional and ethical is the only way of keeping your clients happy and that brings them back to me since they know they can count on me and that their secrets and projects are safe with me... Also, never give root password unless it's absolutely necessary for the job or give it just to the someone you have worked before or you TRUST him.

It's reason like this that Non-Disclosure and Non-Compete contracts are made. :2 cents:

The concept that people in Romania can get away with wholesale Internet fraud, infringement, etc is a bit dated. It can still be a challenge to go after someone there but since joining the EU the local courts and law enforcement no longer provide a safe shield / barrier of incompetence for the local criminals to hide behind. Part of signing the EU treaty requires Romania to provide civil and criminal court remedies on par with the rest of the member nations.

Criminals there used to just laugh knowing they were free and clear and couldn't be touched but these days the threat of bringing the Romanian police into things has started to get results in some cases.

Of course there are numerous issues at play but basically the export of organized crime from RO and other EE countries to the rest of Europe has resulted in a huge amount of pressure being applied to them to clean house and take swift action. Failure to do so will result in threats by other member nations to expel them from the union becoming reality so right now, at least there is a better chance of getting results than before.

"Scriptkid" may want to look into how EU civil courts work should the OP choose to sue him. For starters, they tend to seize all your property and assets up front to make sure you can pay the judgement if you lose so even getting sued in the first place can be extremely disruptive to your finances. Based on his own statements he would lose his ass in this case, you can't launch a competing service based on a client's site - that's a huge mistake and admitting it in public like that was a real Darwin award moment...

Woj is the man as far I'm concerned. :)

You see no problem with some guy hiring another guy and then he taking your idea and doing it himself, trying to now compete with you?

Well okay then. Clearly we don't see things the same.

What you described sucks and grounds for legal avenues. But what this scriptguy did for me was fix a contact form issue.

I think hw may have fixed, cant remember, but during this fix he stole all my files.

My sites were up and processing for a couple years before he got his thieving self into my server.
