Just had to email a local DJ about copying a page from my website for his own website!

Here is his: http://www.aanddmobilediscos.com/faq-s.html

I have asked him to at least alter it so that it is relevant to his business!

He didn't even bother to rip off a DJ from outside the City? :daft::daft::daft:

Just had a look at his website (which is full of nicked stock photos too)

the best of them all is his testimonials page where he has one for West Calder bowling club, next to an image of this

Far be it for me to debate the IQ of mobile jocks but this lad is certainly pulling down the average.

Sir. I would have to dispute the veracity of your assertion. Compared to some of the illustrious folk who have graced, enlivened and illuminated the pages of this portal, the lad's undoubtedly a MENSA candidate. :D

He has replied say that Yell Direct built the page for him and that he would contact them to change!

Yeah right!

I had all that sort of waffle off someone once - funny how his web designer was magically available at 1am (even though on holiday) when I emailed him a draft of the email I was going send next morning to all the high class hotels he listed on his site (very doubtful he was their 'preferred' DJ from what I found out about him later).

So wait you tell Yell direct (whatever that is) that you're a DJ based in Edinburgh and they just fire up a website for you?

Sounds entirely plausible and legit. Mouth breathing waste of space. If you want to run a mickey mouse operation, do so, don't rip off the guys who spend time, energy and a modicum of effort running a professional enterprise.

If you have templates for your responses it would be worth firing an enquiry out to his e-mail to see if he's nicked that too...

I wonder if Yell did that for him?

His initials don't happen to be CH do they? I receieved a very sketchy looking enquiry today for a wedding next year. Checked with the venue and there's a wedding there but not with someone of that name though the name the guy did leave along with a free e-mail account (and no phone number) had the initials CH and is the same name as a guy I know who DJs...

Am I missing something here? :confused: Have Yell (now known as Hibu) merged with Thomson? The reason I ask is that this guys site says it's "Powered by thomsonlocal" and is copyright "2013 Thomson Directories Ltd. All rights reserved". So why are Yell Direct staff creating sites hosted by their main rivals in the business telephone directory market?

I smell a bit of :BS: here!

Mea Culpa. He did say it was built by ThompsonLocal.
