What pisses me off more is that if he would have asked permission, things might have been different...but just taking them off my website and trying to sell them - rediculous.

I've tracked the guy down to being Steven Wallace in Shelby Alabama. Anyone near there?

I've also e-mailed him via Ebay and requested that he remove the auction today. If he doesn't, I'll contact e-bay with a complain of the plagarism.
There are several of us here in Birmingham. I am not sure where Shelby is but maybe we can find a business address and do a "cruise-in" to his massive shop.

It is a crying shame that these people are out there trying to scam those that are just less educated.

This being said, I would like to thank Brent, Shoebox and all those others out there that help all of us. THANKS!!!

Now let's put the word out on this guy.

Cool

Well, guys, Keith mostly.... I do search the Ebay ads from time to time and when I see someone biding on one of the TB bypasses, I email all bidders and inform them of Keith and Brents swebsite, and almost all of them have retracted their bids I do also inform them of the fact that The idea was STOLEN....

Ya know, my ebay account is crap cause my bank account was closed..... I think i'm gonna bid a ton on his items and get all his auctions shut down

FWIW, the dyno graph is the EXACT one on ws6.com

Thumbs up

Maybe everyone should e-mail him and explain theft is wrong. And also sign him up for all the spam e-mail you can

Scammers are wrong. I actually hate this guy because every friggin' time I go to ebay if I type LT1 all I get is page after page of his crap.....Shut him down!

He evidently stopped his auction(s) because I got an email at 8:36pm est that I WON the auction

So, I just paid him for his CD via PayPal. $8.95 plus $3.00 for shipping and handling. I'm curious to see if what I find on the CD is what is on my own page LOL!

I'll keep you guys informed as to what I find out.

Heck, I spent $40 at the bar tonight so $11.95 for this CD is well worth its entertainment value

I'll be sure to let you guys know what's on it assuming he actually does send it to me

Brent, when you get the CD make sure you zip it up and post it on your webpage for all to download, since the content is completly free anyways, and probably came off of ya'lls websites.

Is there a way that you can modify your web pages to show that when printed where it came from.. Or paste a claimer stating printing this site is for personal use, not intended for use/distribution in other sites???????????

Sure, I could photoshop "Property of WS6.COM" in the middle of each graph and picture, but that could potentially cover important info on something, so I tried not to do that.

I guess maybe I should.

While the auction I originally complained about is gone, I see he isn't doing anything about the others. You can report any (all) of his auctions to e-bay here:

Go to SAFEHARBOR (RULES & SAFETY), then pick ITEMS THAT MAY NOT BE ALLOWED FOR SALE, then IMAGES OR DESCRIPTION THEFT, then click the link to CONTACT RULES & SAFETY.

Now choose QUESTIONABLE CONTENT, then POTENTIALLY INFRINGING ISSUES, then USE OF IMAGES, TEXT OR LINKS. Press continue.

Select CONTACT SUPPORT.

Now you can put in up to 10 item numbers at a time. Bring up any one of his auctions, then VIEW SELLERS OTHER AUCTIONS and got at it 10 at a time. I'm going to do the same. Maybe we can get this guy banned if we all do the same thing for all of his auctions.

Good luck.
