My Advertising Banner Was Stolen
Some people are lower than a snake's belly.
On 20th March I paid to have an advertising banner made (a 125x125 button to be exact). I designed it but as I was in a hurry, I got someone else to construct it (I really must learn how to do that, it will be very useful). I paid to place my button on various WAH sites and within a couple of weeks noticed that the link from by button on one particular site went to a completely different url, a one page affiliate site and nothing to do with me.
I contacted the owners of the site to tell them they had screwed up by using my banner with someone else's url. They were adamant that they had not made a mistake, so I emailed the woman whose link it was to tell her about the mistake and ask for her help in getting it put right. No reply.
I emailed her again to repeat my request. I also pointed out that I was ok because I was using a different button ad but her ad looked silly as it was so obviously not related to the button. No reply. I began to suspect that this woman had stolen my button. I could hardly believe it: one because it is such a low trick, two because you can use a button making service for under $10 and three because she would have to be stupid if she thought she could advertise alongside me and I wouldn't know it was her. HELLO!
I sent another email saying that her failure to reply to me etc made me suspect that she had deliberately copied my button. That got a reaction! The low down lying bitch said it was her button and I must stop harassing her and she was only using the button ad until the end of the month and I couldn't tell her what to do. She acted just like a little kid who had been caught out doing something bad, all bluster (combined with rudeness). Pathetic lying cow. My new button has my website url on it, wonder if she'll try stealing that one.
