@JadeFalcon,
Thanks for whacking his new site! In his chats with me, our lad seems extremely impressed with it. It'll sure be a shame when it gets killed again!

Meantime, he's busily preparing yet another -- and lower priced -- formal iPhone quote for me. He's going to be practically giving them to me soon!

This lad's 3RD attempt at this site has now been deaded Very Happy

thanks for the information. Let's hope he doesn't open another page again. Just let us know if you find another one.

You heard them; if you get a new URL from the guy, either post here or PM me so it can get the same treatment. Thanks everyone for helping to cause some lad pain!

Not sure if these are related sites or not, but certainly look like what is being described.

Ha ha ha! Great job, JadeFalcon! I'm going to email the lad later and tell him I need more iPhones and ask what's wrong with his site. I'll let you know what he says.

@ johned

It certainly has a lot of the same crappy photos. I missed on some of the redos. This certainly could be our boy. Maybe it's time to see if there's a form

@johned

Your sites look too similar to be a coincidence. Our boi must be imporsonating several "companies" here, using the same content and the same host. Either that or several lads are sharing the same code. I'd prefer B, since the new lads would be easier to shut down with the same baiter address Very Happy

Nice find, and I'll take a look into this tonight unless anybody else wants to beat me to it.

I'd also say it's the same lad.

TOO stupid to know the DELL laptop in the pics is almost two years old. I should know I own one.

Our lad has not been available for an online chat all day today. Normally, he's always available. Hmmm... he must be working overtime to resurrect his "deaded" website.

Let's keep the heat on him!

Hey all,
I'm just wondering why these sites are still alive?

Probably because I've been at work since they were brought to my attention, and also I (or anyone) needs to gather evidence against the owner, preferably with a scam email directing them to the webiste, before the host will shut it down. We have no 100% proof that it's the same lad running those 2 websites, even though to us it's obvious. The host wouldn't be doing their job right if they shut something down just because somebody told them to, you need proof first Very Happy

Oops...sorry, I somehow thought that the post was from a week ago friday. Please pardon my mistake!

I just saw the lad's work for the first time. If a box I received was in the same condition as the one in the top photo of the "Guarrantee" page I would send it back unopened.

Lad took the time to explain to me why his website is [unfortunately, for him] now down yet again:

Please we will like you to bear with us that the government are still
working and upgrading on our Website and really wants to give us the
best So that while we are have some problem with that now.

Glad to hear the government is involved with his site. But bummer to hear about his "problem"!!! Let's keep on this idiot.

I love that the Customer's Visit to our factory Canada looks an awful lot like Apple campers.

Probably not in the same league, but this is from my first site kill.

The red text was an animated graphic which made it even more unreadable.
And the globe rotated of course.

@ Mr Tambourine Man

Back when I was doing Cert III in IT back in 2006, we were all a bit obsessed with making stuff move. Some went on to do flash sites and continue their obsession with making stuff move, others like me are now the opposite

Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2009 11:08 am

^Making stuff move on sites is definitely a good thing, but it has to functional. Animated gif's are usually non-functional and therefore annoying, drop-down menu's are functional, thus good.

Welcome to Eater! Interesting that you chose my thread for your first post, but I'm honored!!! (EDIT: Had I read what looked like your signature, I would have seen why you DID pick this thread... glad to see you've decided to pour some pain on this guy too Very Happy

I know you've said you baited before, but it's never a bad idea to read the stickies, Eater U, and sign up for a mentor if you're so inclined. And of course, bait safe!

I would be remiss not to point this out to everyone baiting this guy:

The normal method of operation for baiting phone lads is much different than a "normal" bait. Because they spam message boards and forums with their email addresses, the successful way to bait phone lads is to shut down their email addresses as quickly as possible, then move on to the next one. Or, if you're lucky, the lad will keep your address and come back with a different address for you to shut down.

I encourage everyone who decided to bait this guy because of this thread to read the Eater U sticky about phone lad baiting. This contains the proper way to deal with phone lads. As fun as it is, our purpose is not to string them along for weeks and months like other lads. We shut down their email addresses and websites (and earn shiny Cellphone

s for doing so), and also bank accounts if we can get them (for the coveted Closed lad accounts

), then we move on to the next one. We can always use more phone lad baters, so if you enjoy this guy, head over to the forum and learn the ropes!
