I probably shouldn't be surprised you are so well organized/prepared! You are always on top of things!

Not that difficult when you have the club directory in front of you.

That email was different from the one I found, so hopefully it will work. That web address with the ".tk" in the suffix means that it is hosted in the south pacific island of Tokelau, so the scammer could be literally anywhere in the world. ( Pacific island cashes in on website domain - Telegraph )

I have no idea what she can do about this. I could only think of two suggestions: I gave her a link for reporting internet fraud online, and even though the FBI doesn't have jurisdiction in Camaroon, at least this will document the problem. And I also suggested that she put a disclaimer on her own website to warn people about the other website and establish that she is in no way connected.

I hate scammers.

Well at least now she can be aware of it if nothing else. Thank you for taking the time to find all this stuff out!

So, this is owned by someone in the Netherlands.

The owner of edenvalleyyorkies.com should follow the instructions above to report them.

Also, you can (probably) get them delisted from google by following the instructions here: Report copyright infringement : Remove information from Google - Web Search Help

The way I read that, the scammer isn't in the Netherlands, dot tk is, the service that he went through to get a web address.

It looks like I can use the "copyright@dot.tk" to report copyright abuse, though.

I have tried every which way to google the scammer's website, and I can't get it to show up on a google search. I can find his ads, but the website itself doesn't seem to be "googleable. I don't see anything there for them to "delist?"

That is the strangest thing I've seen. I don't understand why he would lift whole blocks from her site. He is basically saying he is she. ???? Are we sure this is NOT another site that belongs to her? It does say under construction at one point. But then the .tk would not make sense would it?

Hope you can get a hold of her to alert to the situation. Great sleuthing! We have some of the sharpest eyes around here at YT! If I ever need a Private Detective, I will start with y'all first.

Interesting, I didn't dig that deep last night. You are correct, the scammer could be anywhere, if indeed it is a scam. Dot TK appears to be a URL shortening service. But it *is* owned by the company in the netherlands, and should be able to get the plagiarized material removed, or remove the users account. No telling if they will, but they can. Another thing to consider would be for the legitimate owner of the material to report it to the ad company. I have not looked for the ads myself. For example, if it's google's adwords, they will ban for life an advertiser for false claims, plagiarism, etc.

There are all sorts of ways to say: "Champion Bloodlines" and "breeding champions since ..." is just another way of saying it (IMO)

WHO IS MAKING THESE RULES???
Many fine top breeders have web sites to show what they have achieved. I refer to their sites to see photo's of what's new in the ring and enjoy pic's of old champions I have seen in their career.

I see nothing unethical about a breeder simply stating...."pets for sale to approved homes" when they have pets...how else can the public buy from reputable breeders if they can not find reputable breeders...I do not think there is a need to list the pic and prices, with paypal check out like an ebay purchase..but let the public know there are options besides a pet shop.

PS..many top breeders perfer advertizing wins in breed magazines..

The email that I sent over 10 hours ago wasn't rejected, so it's a good one. (Thanks, Mardelin). I haven't received a response yet, so the ball is in her court. At least she has the details and can pursue it if she wants.

I for one enjoyed looking at the dogs on her website. Such beautiful little examples, and I told her so. I'll never get the chance to see the little champions in person, and I don't subscribe to the magazines (why would I, since I am not a breeder/exhibitor), so the internet is my only opportunity to see them. She's not selling over the internet, she's bragging, and based on her results she has every right to brag!

You don't have to breed or show to enjoy the magazines. I subscribed to them way before I began my journey. Even before I decided that I wanted to exhibit.

Several, well known exhibitors have websites to show case their dogs accomplishments. Most have no pics of pups, and only stating pups available occassionaly.
