Default ClickBump SEO! Scam Email (Not from Scott Blanchard)

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. There's a guy who has aliases of:

Quote:
<clickbumpengine.com@gmail.com>
<donnabelmilagrosa2011@gmail.com>
<reyadolf4545@gmail.com>
aka Yanong Lungsuranon
aka Rey Adolf

This scammer is proliferating an email, similar or exactly like the one below, in which he is claiming to be me and forwarding to a fake salespage that is a near exact replica of my own (I say "near exact" because since he was so lazy to even hotlink my images, I've given him a little surprise)

Anyway, if you receive an email from <clickbumpengine.com@gmail.com> it is A SCAM!

The URL tapzurl.com is also being used to redirect to his fake salespages. He's not only faking my salespage, but other IMrs as well.

Don't buy from this guy or anyone else who does not direct you to the clickbumpengine.com domain.

clickbumpengine.com is the ONLY legitimate domain on which to purchase my products.

If you have been a victim of this email and scam, the first thing to do is to dispute the charge at Paypal (assuming you used paypal to purchase his bootleg software).

Secondly, anytime you have been the victim of cyber fraud or scams like this, you can file a claim here: https://complaint.ic3.gov/ctf.aspx

These "too good to be true" offers and scams always come with strings attached.

In many cases, the pirated software is laden with backdoor spyware and keyloggers to steal your credit card numbers and confidential information. A thief will stop at nothing to keep stealing once he's in your house.

Hi Clickbump,
the scam caught me.I thought the email was real.The website was the same,the same offer except for a lot less.$40 dollars is too cheap for an offer like yours and got me to thinking.And I had to email someone not named Scott Blanchard to get the files.And that made me email you asking where is my software.You told me to go to paypal and file a dispute,which I did.I was already using the Clickbump SEO which I may say works Great!But it wasnt right to keep so I deleted it.I sent you all the emails that I got and hope you catch everyone involved in this theft. If you need any more information I will be glad to help.

Hi Billy, thanks for posting your comments and thanks for helping me catch this thief.

Here's a look at what his scraped fake salespage looks like right now until the FBI and ic3.gov agents shut him down for good...

Hi Scott -- yep they got me too, but PayPal did refund my money even though they say they won't when it involves a "intangible" product. So I did buy your ClickBump SEO and I love it -- I was searching for reviews on SEO Pressor when I read about yours....it work GREAT and for less $$. Thanks for your fast replies via email

Thats very good cos if I'm the one, I won't be happy with someone doing that to my product. especially promoting with your name (that is really the sick part).

BTW: I said he made a lot of money from it because his alexa ranking was around 200,000 and at that point, he should be getting not less than 4,000 visitors to the page on daily basis.

The page has only been up in this form since April 15th (I'm surmising since the javascript date counter is static at that point signaling that's when he scraped the content).

I'm not seeing how you are equating the traffic rank of 200k with a daily visitor count of 4k.

My Alexa on clickbump.com puts me at 25k ranked site globally and 9k in US, but I'm not getting 4k users a day. By your logic I should be getting even more than that.

Its an interesting sidebar though. How do you figure?
