stealing our materials

Hi again!

Thanks for getting back! We don't want compensation really just a strong assurance that it will never happen again. We tried for the domain name but they are asking a ridiculous sum ( £10,000!) so either they are on cloud cuckoo land or they guessed it was us! There is proven fraud ...

stealing our materials

Do either of you - or anyone out there know about the contents of the website and ...

stealing our materials

After ceasing to trade online over 2 years ago we have just found out that the website designer ( and registered owner of the domain name for our old business) has been fraudulently trading under our names as if we were still up and running! As we supplied educational materials online he had access ...
