Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2005help stop an extortionist
I was shown a web site that should be shut down. www.savetoby.com While Toby is a rabbit, we need to stop this idiot before his success encourages others to try the same thing. I've sent a message to both his domain name proxy service (people hiding who he is) http://www.domainsbyproxy.com abuse@domainsbyproxy.com and the company that registered his domain name and is probably hosting his site https://www.godaddy.com abuse@godaddy.com These are links to their web pages and links so you can send them an e-mail to complain about this site. The person that showed me this site has also contacted CNN to see if they would do a story on it to get more people to complain about this crook and get his site shut down. He is also using paypal to receive his blood money and I will be contacting them shortly to hopefully have them cut off his source of income from this site.

I'm not sure if this is a hoax/joke/etc. One thing I do know the site is backed by some serious money. Look in the store, someone forked over big bucks to get that stuff made. Is it a ploy to get stuff sold at their store? Who knows. BTW, just because a figure is given about how much was "raised" doesn't necessarily mean it was actually raised. When you create a web page you can stick in any figure.

Duh > Who knows. BTW, just >because >a figure is given about how much was "raised" doesn't necessarily mean >it was >actually raised. When you create a web page you can stick in any >figure. A joke has a punch line. This guy is trying to make money by threatening to do something people would find objectionable unless he's paid not to do it (extortion). His links for payment are functional. I would say this is a pretty sick joke except that the potential for making money from a threat crosses the line between bad taste and criminal activities.

Yeah - nothing like a little free publicity to shut down a commercial site, yeah? This looks like a thinly disguised spam to me. So, f.ck off spammer! >Thank you >Terry Lamrouex Found more information: http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/a/146890.htm Thank you for the additional information. I've been posting my complaint to the legal news groups to see what the lawyers think about this guys "joke". If he wasn't trying to make money from it I would just consider it a sick joke like bonsai cats. But this guy trying to profit makes it all the sicker.

It's definitely in bad taste and could arguably be termed "sick", but it's perfectly legal. >Terry >> Found more information: >> http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/a/146890.htm
