Iulian Halac Legal Threats

Iulian Halac Email 1

This person hack the email and post on a lot of negative websites.
Almost all understand the situation and remove the posts.
He stole some domains and copy some websites that wasn’t his. We contact google and they remove them from search results for copyright infringement.
We contact the FBI and that guy will be arrested soon.
At this moment you are protecting a HACKER AND AN EXTORTIONIST and doing his games.
 
If you don’t remove the post we are going to sue you and we will post on all negative websites that Chris Mitchell and companynamesucks.com are protecting a HACKER AND AN EXTORTIONIST and doing his games.
 
That post is a fake one and all the things from there are false.
 
Please do the right thing and remove the post.
 
Thank you

Congrats on making the Sucks blog, this email and any future email correspondence can be found here for the public to read. As per your legal threat, if you are a representative of the business, you can sign up for Business Support and write an Official Company response for the review in question.  Find out more here:  http://www.companynamesucks.com/companysignup.phpIf you wish to contact a lawyer I would like to make you aware of a federal law called the Communications Decency Act or “CDA”, 47 U.S.C. § 230. Because this important law is not well known, I want to take a moment to explain the law, and to also explain that the filing of frivolous lawsuits can have serious consequences for those who file them, both parties and their attorneys.

The CDA is part of our federal laws. An excellent Wikipedia article discussing the history of the law can be found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Decency_Act.

In short, the CDA provides that when a user writes and posts material on a website such as Company Name Sucks, the site itself cannot, in most cases, be held legally responsible for the posted material. Specifically, 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1) states, “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”

Because the reviews on Company Name Sucks are authored by users of the site, we cannot be legally regarded as the “publisher or speaker” of the reports contained here, and hence we are not liable for reports even if they contain false or inaccurate information.

So, why should you care about the CDA? Well, it’s simple — if someone posts false information about you on Company Name Sucks, the CDA prohibits you from holding us liable for the statements which others have written.

If you file a lawsuit which you know contains false claims, or if you sue without first conducting a reasonable investigation as to the law as it may pertain to the facts of your case (such as determining the identity of the author of the Review(s) you are concerned about), you and/or your attorney can be subject to serious sanctions at the judge’s discretion.

In addition to penalties a judge may issue, those who would threaten us need to be aware of another law which imposes civil liability on anyone who files a frivolous lawsuit. This claim is known as “wrongful use of civil proceedings” and it is defined by § 674 of the Restatement (Second) of Torts as follows:

(a) he acts without probable cause, and primarily for a purpose other than that of securing the proper adjudication of the claim in which the proceedings are based, and

(b) except when they are ex parte, the proceedings have terminated in favor of the person against whom they are brought.

Thanks
Chris

Iulian Halac Email 4

 

On your website it say that if the post contains any personal information to contact you and you will remove the post.
 
That post contains personal information about me. I don’t have a company or a business.
So please remove that post.

The question was not have you ever had a happy customer, obviously you have.  The one in question was the unhappy one who posted the review.  Apparently reviews are only acceptable (yelp) as long as your company is shown in a good light.

And yes, your detailsupplyoutlet.com does rank very well, the other 2 not so much.

Have a good day

Dude, you are full of nothing but excuses, now your going to assume that (Yelp) only post reviews that are postive, how absurd they post all reviews made by anyone who decides to become a member of there site, man you are one stupid person with no clue about how reviews work, so lets say i sign in to your site and then post a review about your site and how it sucks does that mean the review will be posted or most likely you will review that post and if it makes any negative thoughta about your site i bet the post will never be uploaded, so i am calling your bluff and am going to sign into your site and post my review of what i think about your company Sucks, and lets see if the post shows up, i bet not you 2 faced person!!!!!!

I am done with your dumb come backs and stupid remarks, either way i no many ways to get your site banned and post negative reviews per your come backs!!!!!
Its on now Chris,  i have already contacted your web hosting company with a complaint and next it is Google and then MSN (Bing) and Yahoo, i can not believe your so against Quality websites with 5 Star reviews and choose to support 1 consumer who made a false post, think about the big picture dude!!!!
Wow, under the keyword phrase below, my websites rank number 1, number 2 and number 4 on first page natural organic rankings Google, i call that Major Success and can you claim these kind of rankings, i think not your just a website who will come and then be gone like so many others who have no respect for the best sites out there in ther Industry.
Included Google links showing ranking results removed.

Apparently you also have comprehension issues as well.

“Please spell check your post first, as that is obviously an issue reading through your emails.”

In case you missed it my response is again above.  It says please spell check your post first, no where did i deny you the right to post.  That is your right, as is signing up for business support (which is free) to officially respond as a company representative.

And do i no how to run a company, take a look at my search engine placements under natural organic rankings in Google and then tell me who knows how to run a company and who is out to slander and to do nothing but allow consumers to post bad, negative, and false comments, your the one who has no clue about respect and how to run a business, so what do you do all day sit around and look for ways to put other websites down, what a loser and demented person your are!!!!
As i said its on Chris i am going to make damm well sure your website gets banned for using Black Hat tactics andCloaking your Web site is a sure-fire way to get banned from Google and probably the worst thing you could do for Google.

FYI there is a difference between no and know (yes they sound the same)

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/no

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/know

Do yourself a favor and read before you send.  You have the option as i have said before to sign up for a free business support account and reply to the accusation.  No black hat here, you apparently just dont know how to click the next button since your review has moved to the second page.

Your emails are also being posted each time to the page i sent you in a previous email we call it our sucks blog.  Its wordpress, which means each update is pinged to alert the search engines of an update (one of the reasons im now results 11 and 12 when your company name is searched).

You have a bad review, it happens.  Either respond to it like a real business owner or ignore it.

Dear Mr. Mitchell,

I am writing to you as the registered agent of DDBLG LLC, the registrant of the domain CompanyNameSucks.com, and I am copying Mr. XXXXX as the registered agent of XXXXX Services LLC, the entity responsible for the Company Name Sucks Web Site, according to the Company Name Sucks Web Site Agreement & Terms of Use, to follow up on my January 31, 2011 letter received by Mr. XXXXXX on February 2, 2011.

In this letter, I informed Mr. XXXXXX that the posting on the Company Name Sucks Web Site of the complaint regarding my business constituted, among other offenses, interference with the contractual rights my company has with Ms. Baldwin as well as copyright infringement.  I demanded the immediate removal of the offending content from the Company Name Sucks Web Site, including but not limited to the following URLs:

1.         http://www.companynamesucks.com/david-lombardino-and-associates-sucks.html;

2.         http://www.companynamesucks.com/david-lombardino-and-associates-does-not-suck-5267.html; and

3.         http://www.companynamesucks.com/david-lombardino-and-associates-sucks-5003.html.

However, we have verified that the offending content has not yet been removed.  I hereby reiterate that this content and all associated comments be removed immediately from the Company Name Sucks Web Site, as well as from current and all future dissemination, including but not limited to that which is currently posted on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Company-Name-Sucks/90524784486.  This removal should be complete and confirmed by you by no later by noon CT tomorrow, February 4, 2011.

I thank you in advance for your time and consideration in this matter.  If you have any questions regarding this demand, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Regards,

David Lombardino

David, as Mr XXXXXX has informed you he is no longer the owner of Company Name Sucks, nor is he part of its current operations.  The information you refer to was left on the site by mistake, and will be cleared up soon by our development team.  In regards to your demands for removal the answer is no.  If you have read our terms of service which you refer to, I imagine you have also seen our removal policy.  We are violating no laws, copyright or otherwise and the review/s you refer to contain no slander and or personal attacks.  Please note that our terms of service also indicate that all communication will be posted in our blog for our readers enjoyment.

RE:  David Lombardino & Associates

Dear Mr. Mitchell,

Thank you for your email and for correcting me with regard to the proper owner of the CompanyNameSucks.com website.  I apologize for my initial confusion and sending my initial request to the wrong person.  Since you did not receive that initial request, I will copy it here so that you can see in more detail how the posting of the content to which I referred is a violation of the law.

Specifically, on or about January 9, 2011, Bridgette Baldwin posted a review on CompanyNameSucks.com, which in a January 27, 2011 email to CompanyNameSucks.com, via their Contact Us page located at www.companynamesucks.com/blog/contact-us, she requested to be removed.  However, our investigation into the matter shows that her review has not been removed and continues to be posted at the following URLs:

1.         http://www.companynamesucks.com/david-lombardino-and-associates-sucks.html;

2.         http://www.companynamesucks.com/david-lombardino-and-associates-does-not-suck-5267.html; and

3.         http://www.companynamesucks.com/david-lombardino-and-associates-sucks-5003.html.

For your information, the content of the review is:  “Hired to format my footnotes. When I received the document the footnotes had not been formatted and they charged me $860.”

The content of her follow-up to that review is:  “Initially the company failed to format footnotes, but after investigation they agreed to refund the money I paid for footnotes.”

If you like, I can forward to you a copy of Ms. Baldwin’s January 27, 2011 email to me stating that she had contacted CompanyNameSucks.com to request the removal of this review.

As a follow-up to Ms. Baldwin’s January 27, 2011 email, I am writing to request that Ms. Baldwin’s complaint, follow-up, any responses and any other information regarding Ms. Baldwin’s complaint be removed immediately and permanently from the CompanyNameSucks.com website, as well as from any other website or location under the control of DDBLG LLC, including but not limited to the URLs listed on the first page of this letter, and from any current and future dissemination by CompanyNameSucks.com and DDBLG LLC for the following reasons:

1.         CompanyNameSucks.com’s posting or other dissemination of Ms. Baldwin’s complaint and/or any information related to Ms. Baldwin’s complaint constitute interference with the contractual rights my company has with Ms. Baldwin.

2.         The extent to which CompanyNameSucks.com’s posting or dissemination of Ms. Baldwin’s complaint cites the name of my business, my business’ website or any text from my business’ website, that posting or dissemination constitutes copyright infringement.

I will be happy to explain in more detail these violations of the law upon your request.  I will also be happy to explain that no company’s terms and conditions can supersede the law.  For example, according to the law, CompanyNameSucks.com’s posting of my company’s name (David Lombardino & Associates) constitutes copyright infringement.  This is because my company’s name, along with all the other content on my company’s website (www.the-draft-editor.com), is protected by copyright.  Since I have not provided CompanyNameSucks.com with written permission to use my company’s name, CompanyNameSucks.com violates my copyright.  This is true regardless of what is written in CompanyNameSucks.com’s terms and conditions, even if these terms and conditions were to be considered a contract between CompanyNameSucks.com and my company.  The reason for this is that, according to the law, no contract between two entities can be upheld if it violates the law.

For these reasons, I hereby demand that any reference to my company’s name in Ms. Baldwin’s complaint, follow-up, any responses and any other information regarding Ms. Baldwin’s complaint be removed immediately and permanently from the CompanyNameSucks.com website and any other website, location or current or future dissemination, including but not limited to that which is currently posted on Facebook, under the control of CompanyNameSucks.com or DDBLG LLC.

I thank you in advance for your time and attention in this matter.

Regards,

David Lombardino

Just in case you are unaware of the law you may wish to contact an attorney who can better explain things to you, The CDA is part of our federal laws. An excellent Wikipedia article discussing the history of the law can be found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Decency_Act.
In short, the CDA provides that when a user writes and posts material on a website such as Company Name Sucks, the site itself cannot, in most cases, be held legally responsible for the posted material.

David Lombardino & Associates Response #5

Dear Mr. Mitchell,

I am writing to reiterate my request that the emails I sent to you be removed immediately from everywhere you have posted them.

Any emails that I send and have sent to you are confidential, proprietary and/or protected by intellectual property laws.  All emails that I send and have sent to you are labeled clearly as confidential by the confidentiality statement at the bottom of each email.  By responding to these emails, you have implicitly accepted the statements in the message as confidential.  It is not UP TO YOU to decide what is confidential.  Confidential information is “proprietary” information.  Any unauthorized use, disclosure or transmission of, or reference to, my confidential and/or proprietary information is a violation of the law.  The unlawful and inappropriate “conversion” of confidential information can amount to civil theft.  Accordingly, you are prohibited by law from posting, distributing, publishing, transferring, transmitting, disclosing, or otherwise using my information that is confidential, proprietary and/or protected by intellectual property law.

This is not a first amendment issue; rather, it is a primate matter, involving private subject matter.  As the owner of confidential information, I have a fundamental right to control the dissemination of my confidential information.  A “trade secret” (e.g. KFC chicken recipe), for example, is confidential information.  An email detailing a company’s client list is confidential information.  An email negotiating contract terms is confidential information.  You have no right to unilaterally covet someone else’s confidential information.

Company Name Sucks First Bribe Attempt

Company Name Sucks must be starting to make a dent.  I have received on average about 2 requests a week for the last couple of weeks to either remove a request or to give them the name of the person who wrote the review.   Each time I give the same standard answer:

Company Name Sucks will not remove a review. 
However, you can comment on the review and give your side of the story please visit the review link www.companynamesucks.com/some-review and click on “Comment on this review” then enter your reply. 

Each time I sent that email it was either the end of it or the company wrote a comment to the review trying to resolve the problem such as Comcast and eFinancial.com  did. 

There is one company, who I’m not going to name because I didn’t warn them first and the emails came from a Yahoo address and not a company address, that just wouldn’t stop asking for removal until finally they offered money

Before I show the email exchange I just wanted to take a moment to say that Company Name Sucks is here for people to briefly let out their grievances and get the little annoyances off their chest.  I’m not interested in going down the path it seems Ripoff Report did here and here and possibly even Yelp has as shown here seem to have gone down. 

So, NO I won’t be removing any reviews in exchange for money or anything else, so don’t ask.  This post is also notice to any other companies from here on in that I will not be as nice as I was to this company and I will post your name and the email correspondence.

Now for Company Name Sucks first bribe offer exchange (Email addresses removed):
