The girl that I exposed a bit back on here who was a client of mine and then set up on ebay, got back feedback about ruining people's hair and kept changing her username. Well she has now copied loads of stuff from my website almost word for word!!!

Amanda, she may have copied words, but lacks your artistic style. Your pictures of your work and your reputation shine. ------------- |

I'm just totally shocked that someone would want to do this, I mean is she that thick she can't design her own site or come up with her own words. I've text her to tell her to remove it or I'll report her to Freewebs and she sent an abusive one back telling me to grow up, I'm a fat B****, and to f*** off!
I've changed the layout of my site now anyway but her content is the same, its a good job I did change my layout otherwise we would have had near enough identifical sites.
Thanks El xx ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

There's templates out there anyone can use so it can look exactly like another site's layout. I've seen that several times. Taking your text, though, is so not cool. It's also quite illegal should you wish to pursue it. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

Hi, Amanda, I sent you her link last night, not sure if you
noticed before! I found her trying to win a competition and noticed some
similarities to your site! And what exactly does she tell you about the extensions she installs? Umm… sweet FA!!

Amanda Lee mailto:amanda8beechwood2003@yahoo.co.uk - amanda8beechwood2003@yahoo.co.uk http://www.nicoleshairextensions.cjb.net/ - www.nicoleshairextensions.cjb.net/ Copyright Infringement It seems the above form is no longer required as she has taken all relevance and copying from my site off hers. Its a shame she couldn't have just done that without hurling abuse at me. I have e-mailed Freewebs to let them know instead of submitting the form and they have said they have logged the complaint and if she does it again they will remove her from Freewebs.
Thanks so much guys for all your help and support. Its such a shame when bitchyness and jealousy occurs. I mean this girl only e-mailed me last week to apologise for all the crap she's caused me, and "hoped we could move on and be friends" and then ended the e-mail by asking me to get her some hair. Of course I just ignored her.
Well she has just proved that that was totally ungenuine hasn't she xx ------------- [URL=http://www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk]www.hairextensionsbyamanda.co.uk[/URL] |

Well we've all seen the twats number now, a few choice calls here and there should p**s her off a little bit. These forums are meant to be informative and help people, I know there may be one ore two chancers lurking, but for the most part it is meant for support and advice. I hate underhand b*****s like her!!
I am sure you'll find a way to let her know her actions will come back on her

You're spot on Elivra, I just took the calm approach and contacted the authorities, when you are within your rights there's just no point in bickering.

That's terrible that she copied you!
Like the others said though~ she certainly cannot copy your talent and creativity. Having said that, I don't think this gal should be allowed to 'steal' others words, photos, etc like that.
I'm glad to know that you have notified the appropriate people to ensure thaqt she cannot just do this sort of thing and then have a cavalier attitude about it when approached. Some people! Ugh!

Kudos to Freewebs for taking care of this so quickly. Copyright infringement is theft.
This gal is on that connect hair board which speaks volumes. The forum owner over there lifts text and passes it off as their own, once copying word for word my shrinkies description and using it as their own to profit. They sold the unlined plastic tube that slipped out of people's hair. They contacted MB after this forum's shrinkie brouhaha and now sell the uncertified shrinks. Hah hah. This is interesting: http://microrings.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/page5.html I believe it's sherrie's install on her daughter. Don't know if permission was actually acquired but the acknowledgement is there. That's a first. ------------- http://shrinkies.net - Extension Supplies & Virgin Brazilian Hair |

I dont normally get caught up in all this as I find it unecessary!! Why has this thread gone on for so long its becoming a little boring now about whose done this and whose done that!! As adults surely there is enough room for everyone in this big wide world. I think it would be much more appropriate to actually contact the person who is either copying text or copying pictures and to get in contact with the person or the company who is hosting there website, instead of everybody jumping on the band wagon and name calling and bringing other people into this when its actually two people who are involved. Remember there are two sides to every story and both should be heard before anyone has a right to make a judgement if at all they should be making one. ------------- |

If the thread is borring, your welcome to not participate in it.
And I don't blame anyone for being upset that their stuff is stolen, be it pictures of their work, or text they took the time to write. How would you feel if someone stole your work and passed it off as their own?
I've had photos of myself stolen before, and damn straight I have the right to pass "judgement", there IS no "other side", they stole from me, I got pissed. Such is life. But I suppose since it obvously doesn't bother you, I may take your pictures/text/work and say I did it? After all, fair is fair.
And by the way, I dont think your signature is quite big enough.

This is about intellectual property that one has created as one's own. It is f****** lazy (and evil) to steal someone else's ideas and claim them as your own. I know I spent a lot of time (and money) creating my professional website, clarifying my approach to my work. I'd be really pissed off if someone else copied my text word for word. HB.com is the appropriate place to expose this kind of fraud.
What's your problem, Sassy? I personally am glad to be alerted to any dishonest extensions "professionals" who may be advertising on the Internet. ------------- Here's to the end of my BAD HAIR LIFE! |

this would be one of very few places that i would find out that someone else out there is using stolen information on their sites, i wouldnt want to end up buying hair/supplies from one of those sites because i feel it reflects the overall product/customer service that i would end up with (in other words, sh!tty)
if all of ya'll start 'acting like adults' and NOT speaking up for each other and offering words of support........i'd tell ya to piss off, and i'd have to go back to bothering my husband about how my hair looks (he says, please, dont do that to him)

Amanda8: I am curious to know how this ends up working out for you. I do hope that the thief will be forced to remove or credit your work. We have had some people steal our photos - as well as our entire layout and description in one case- from our eBay store. It is extrememly frustrating. I spend a lot of time taking and editing photos of our merchandise to make them unique and appealing - so when someone copies our work, that defeats much of the purpose. We also spent copious amounts of time learning how to design and our own templates and store page- only to have some woman steal many of our elements and text from that page. She was a direct competitor and it was very low of her to sponge off of our work. Apparently her customer service sucks (no suprise) so she is no longer a competitor. I guess she could not "steal" customer service from someone else so she failed. In a competitive market you need the uniqueness to help you stand out and express your company and products. Not to mention- it is just plain wrong to outright steal someone else's work.
I am personally grateful that this fraud has been brought to our attention- and that this matter is being discussed. It IS a big deal- and I do not think that, so far, anyone has handled the situation in an immature fashion. Hell- even if they did- we are talking about a thief. How much respect can you give to a thief? That person KNOWS that they did something wrong.
Kudos to you for handing it in a professional fashion, and for bringing it to our attention.

I didnt mind that it was posted on the nails and stuff forum, for others to use, thats absolutely fine. But the fact that its being used by connect 2 hair to promote and sell the products using my demo is a little bit much.
I was never asked permission, and truthfully that demo is property of hairextensions101.com so if she is going to use it I would like the credit to be given to http://www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com , not to my misspelled name of sherry215 ------------- www.hairextensions101.com - www.hairextensions101.com www.mybeautyaddiction.com - www.mybeautyaddiction.com |
