"Seen one, seen 'em all" takes on a whole new meaning...

You know...people often ask me why I'm so angry all the time...and it's days like this that remind me WHY I am, so I'll share just another reason for that.

You see the picture to the left there?  The one about FRAUD?  Yea, well, I happened to stumble across a lot of it tonight and mostly by accident (I seem to be doing that a lot lately).

I'm researching my market for my business, and trying to analyze trends and marketing and pricing...the whole gamut, and I happen across this outfit in Edmonton that claims rather boldly, "Edmonton's most trusted name in computer repair".  They go further to add, "Welcome to Techs On The Go Computer Repair. We have been providing Edmonton's most dependable and speedy computer repair services for over a decade."

Okay then.  So why is it that this is the first time I've ever heard of them?  If they're the "most trusted name" in Edmonton, then why haven't I heard of them?

But I thought to myself, "Self...relax...there's some Testimonials there for us to look at, so let's see who they've dealt with."  So I head on over to that page, and I have to admit it seemed impressive on the surface.  They appeared to be dealing with businesses, and that's all...

Wait a minute...

Whoa...

What's this?  

"Tom Thumb"?  "ACME"?  "Jane Jones"?

Hmm...

Call me skeptical and cynical, but something just didn't seem right to me all of a sudden.  I know who Tom Thumb is, and he sure as Hell ain't no business owner.  So I head on over to Google.  I mean, this ACME Goods company should have some kind of site up for me to look at and see a profile of Mr. Thumb, right?

WRONG.

As suspected, I dug deeper to uncover a HUGE FUCKING DECEPTION AND FRAUD.  I Googled the description from this reported "Testimonial" and wouldn't you know it...REAMS of other sites ALL USING THE SAME TESTIMONIALS!  Far be it from me to cast doubt, but wow this Mr. Thumb sure likes to spread his wealth around, and doesn't believe in anything but stock answers.  But then I noticed that some of these sites had THE SAME EXACT TEMPLATE.  Little to no changes made at all, except company name.

So not only am I pissed off with one scammy site, I have to see there are several.  Made me think to myself, "Self...these people claim to be providing services for over a decade and yet they weren't smart enough to change the Testimonial names and words?!"

Little fish...big pond.  And they got NO GAME.

Here are 4 examples of the many I found...see any similarities in them?

Fraud site 1 -- Fraud site 2 -- Fraud site 3 -- Fraud site 4

Those mother fuckers out there that operate like this are the very reason why consumers and businesses will CHOOSE to go with the "Big Box" providers, and get ass raped doing it...because of "fly by night" outfits like these fuckers that ruin it all to Hell for people like me and MY business.  Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with using a template, but for the LOVE OF GAWD...have the fuckin' brains enough to ADJUST THE FUCKIN' DEFAULT TEXT you gawd damned retards.  Your "Testimonials" may look nice as-is, and make you seem all important and a "big player"...but once I expose you as the fuckin' fraudsters you are, you're little more than just another sorry ass piece of shit.

Oh yes, I said I'm gonna out you.

All of you.

You fuckin' morons out there that operate like this give REPUTABLE and GENUINE companies like mine a bad name, and a tough hill to climb.  You think I'm gonna sit back and allow that to happen?  Get bent, dipshits.  No, I plan to rat your asses out ASAP.  Good luck ever gettin' business again.

Fuckin' fraudsters...makes me wanna projectile vomit.

***EDIT*** 0109 hrs MST I just sent a complaint to the CIRA folks (those responsible for the .CA domain names) to lodge a complaint againt this sham site to see if it can be shut down.  I'm also a .CA domain holder and I'm pretty sure that fraud is a big no-no in the agreement that we acknowledged to get our site registered.  If this outfit claims to have over a decade of experience, feigned ignorance or "I didn't know any better" just ain't gonna hold water...let's see if CIRA shuts them down.  By rights, they should, and be happy to do so.
