Spammer on Expertzzz Selling our mods on his site!

Yeah, this one is hilarious.  Over on expertzzz about a week or so ago, I get this e-mail from this guy who runs a site called taggedus.com stating that he's going to offer the mods all of us on expertzzz offer for free on his site.  I took a quick look, saw a very poorly designed site and in my infamous manner wrote him a short e-mail denying him permission.  Guess he figured it was wiser to do it and then seek permission vs. asking permission up front.  That also had a sort of annoy the crap out of me feel to it too.

 

Well, he thought it was proper to go ahead and respond to me with a derogatory e-mail.  Uh-oh!  I guess I should of never taken the time to tell him no.  He really yelled in his e-mail and scared me so bad that I just couldn't resist reacting.  After all, everyone knows how scared I get of an e-mail.  So I did the only thing that was right.

 

I looked his site over again, noted several stolen mods from expertzzz.com and thus took the time to strongly consider over quite a lenghty debate (it was a debated that lasted approximately .00000000000001 miliseconds mind you, much longer than I spend considering most things) and reported it to his host. 

 

I guess this person who goes by the name of Tagged on Expertzzz decided that was unfair and proceeded to start a 26 + e-mail war on expertzzz.com with me.  Yeah, he used the reporting e-mail to do a background search and run a whois.com on me.  Oh No!  He knows who I am.  What will I ever do?  Like I care.  Especially since anyone, and many have, already run the whois to see who I am.  I hate hiding behind those silly proxy/anonymous systems for site ownership. 

Of course, he then threatened to take down one of my demo servers.  ROFLMAO at this threat.  Yeah, this guy thinks he alone, mind you most of the buttons on his site don't even work, at all, is going to attack a server I own.  Last one that tried that spent over 70 hours and got nowhere.  Though it was a good attempt by that one.  This guy realized quickly he was in over his head, so he did what any self-respecting upset script kiddy that can't get his own site to work properly would do:

 

He graffitti'd my Shoutbox.  The problem is, the idiot failed to realize I use word censoring programs and it's a demo site the idiot hit.  Yeah, I'm actually laughing out loud at this.  Coupled with a shoutbox manager it made it completely useless to hit this site.   So, I've now created a nice little add on to the word censor to help him advertise his spam site of stolen mods.  Yes, every time someone  now types into the shoutbox of this demo site (hint for the url look at my screenname, you'll figure it out) he'll get free advertising in a unique manner for his site.  Of course, that is site wide now, not just the shoutbox.

 

I figure since he likes to spam people I'd do my best to help him out and get as much free advertising for his site as I possibly can.  I know it would be great if Boonex still moderated expertzzz, but with the roll out of D7 & the New Untiy there is only so much they can do and dealing with idiots on a site that is about to be closed is not an effective use of time.

And Boonex, before you delete this, you should be aware as to how annoying this person has made themselves.  The idiot actually took the time to hunt down my cell phone number so he could call me and yell at me.  I figure he really needs the advertisement help so this is purely done in the interest of helping someone grow their spam site.

Slightly off the topic but do we have any idea when expertzzz will be taken down?

Hopefully soon, but I wouldn't count on it.

As for this blog post, I got a good kick out of it. I wish scammers would call me, too.

Yeah that moron has two accounts, tagged and fubar. He uses both of them to post stupidity and stolen mods. There is another account that was just created today selling the same ole mod pack in the downloadz section. I doubt they will ever take down expertzzz but they should REALLY delete the downloadz section or at the least have someone moderate it, that site has become such a joke.

I tried to take him up on his offer to give someone his login to see your nasty emails.. he wasn't as stupid as see more I thought I guess haha.
Besides this issue, I've seen another new signup from 11-09-2009 reselling php scripts as well. One even happens to be a competing community script of some sort. Besides reselling the work of other companies (look up phpPoker and grpg mafia in google) they are reselling them at a considerably higher price than you could get them directly from the source for. Unsuspecting purchasers will be disappointed to find that they overpaid for products that they again won't be able to receive any support see more for. I quickly recognized those two products as I had purchased them directly from the source myself a while ago and integrated them into my dolphin setup. I MAY be mistaken, but unless this person has worked out some sort of special deal with the creators, none of these products are available for resale and information on the creator's sites indicate they are not and never will be available for resale. Just one more example of greed hurting both the purchaser and the creator of more software sold on the site.

I really do love MyDatery's stories, they make for a nice short read. You should consider putting together a short book on how to respond appropriately to griefers and make a few extra $$.
