My wife discovered last night that there’s one site using my picture on his landing page as part of a testimonial. She was surprised seeing me giving a testimonial to someone I didn’t know before! And I was surprised too!
Actually, they use my picture, but they changed my name. And to my surprise, after searching for the actual testimonial phrase, I found 10+ more websites having my picture in it!
This only prove one thing. These sites are scam sites. They can’t even get a real person to have a real testimonial for their product. And for the record, I am not in any way affiliated with these sites, even if they used my picture.
Here’s the original picture which I posted more than a year ago:
The Famous Picture
Here is the list of website using that picture. If you are the owner of one of these websites, shame on you! I gave you a Dofollow link on the list so that you will rank well for those keywords! Hahaha!
- Easy Dollar Scam
- GGDIR5Global Scam
- GDI Gold RUsh Scam
- Your Dollar Is Mine In 7 Days
- Create Online Money Scam
- BabasOftInfotech Scam
- MeusiteGDI Scam
- Redemaster Scam
- Yuwie Scam
- Learn To Earn Scam
- Be Abundant Scam

February 5th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
wow kuya pinapasikat k lalo ah. malas nga lang scam sites mga gumamit ng pic mo. ginawa pang robert name. parang dati ganun rin gnawa sa pic ni shoemoney.
February 5th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
They say “imitation is the sincere form of flattery”. Di naman actually imitation ito, but it’s more or less the same thing – to me.
I believe di lang ikaw ang nabiktima ng ganito – I’ve read a similar case with Shoemoney not long ago.
Baka di lang 10 sites nakapost ito. And the name can be photoshopped.
Ganun pala yun. I’ll put a dofollow links to sites that I want to point out as scam sites.
February 5th, 2009 at 5:42 pm
tsk, tsk, tsk…very bad. these people really suck, trying to fool other people to make them readers believe they are doing great.
the other side of the story is: they have to copy your pics to make people believe they are earning great, but the truth is not for they have to recourse to some old dirty tactics to earn some cents.
what a shame….
February 5th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
sikat! puwede ka na model/endorser ng mga money making site kuya marghil! haha…
February 5th, 2009 at 8:03 pm

That is really a bad joke to you. I wish I could help but unfortunately, my blog is a 404 error since 2 days ago. But I will try to help in other ways.
February 5th, 2009 at 8:47 pm

February 6th, 2009 at 3:10 am
Wow. I’m sure you had mixed emotions. Glad that they used your photo as their model! And furious, to find out those were scam sites!
But you seem to handle the situation surprisingly well =)

hi there!
these people should be stopped. i just read a few days ago of another blogger whose picture was used as well by these scammers. a lawsuit maybe? ehehe
February 6th, 2009 at 8:37 pm
At least alam mong sikat ka na kasi ginagaya ka nila.
btw, anong plugin ang ginagamit mo para sa rss feed mo na lumilitaw each time that you are posting an article?
Eto yung sinasabi ko.

those sites are affiliated to GDI an MLM company offering dot WS domains. Lots of spammers from Cebu earn much from that Program.
Those landing pages are used by them as part of their spamming activities.
February 6th, 2009 at 11:45 pm
i think, you need to ask them to pay for your photo.
these GDI people are earning huge money and most of them use spamming as a way of getting more downlines.
February 6th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
i’m sorry for another comment….
you can email abuse@wsdomains.ws so that those members using your photo will be kicked out from the program.
February 7th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
tol naayus ko na permalinks ko.tnx uli!
February 7th, 2009 at 4:46 pm

February 7th, 2009 at 11:29 pm
Hi Robert! Este Mar pala hahaha. Yan kasi yung name mo dun sa mga sites na sinabi mo. Parang pamilyar sa akin yung .ws na yan! I agree with Brother Selaplana. Ireport mo na lang sa .ws para burado agad ang mga lokong yan!
February 8th, 2009 at 8:04 am
