Me Famous! Mah Picture Iz All Over The Intarrnetz!

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 Macuha Picture
The Famous Picture πŸ™‚

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!

If you want to help me, let’s Google bomb them! πŸ™‚

  14. Galing naman ikaw na role model nila..kaso scam sites nga lang..hehehehe

    Thanks po!

  17. @itot, hehehe. kaw talaga! kelan ko kaya makikita ang picture mo nakakalat sa internet din..hehehee.

    ikalat ko kaya??? πŸ™‚

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. 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….

  21. sikat! puwede ka na model/endorser ng mga money making site kuya marghil! haha…

  22. @Nerd… check this site about Google bomb!

  23. 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.

  24. hahaha! astig! ang dami pang sites na ganyan na puro pekeng pics ang nilagay para maka scam at maka benta ng produkto.. hehe πŸ˜€

    baka marami pang nagamit na pic na unaware.. haha πŸ˜€

  25. 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 =)

  26. ana jud nang mga sikatsopoy.. hahahahah gulatin mo… hahahah why dont you create a campaign then tulongan ka namin e bookmark…. heheheh im sure papangit yung reputation sa mga site na yun? dba? what you think pare…. im IN to help you.

    GAME?

  27. yan ang malupit sa ibang kanong internet marketers, nakaw lang ng nakaw ng pix.. malamang ung ibang pix nila sa site eh nakaw lang din.. tsk tsk, kala nila maiisahan nila pinoy, sana ma-google bomb nga sila ng keyword nila+scam.

  28. 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

  29. 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.

    “For more information and special deals related to any of the issues on this page, place your cursor over the double-underlined links. All information supplied by Kontera.com. Kindly subscribe to my feeds via RSS reader or via e-mail if you want more updates.”

  30. 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.

  31. 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.

  32. i’m sorry for another comment….

    you can email [email protected] so that those members using your photo will be kicked out from the program.

  33. tol naayus ko na permalinks ko.tnx uli!

  34. ha ha ha.. sikat ka na talaga at di ka na maabot πŸ™‚

  35. 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!

  36. aba!

    iba na ang sikat! dapat may royalty fees yan, hehe…

    grabe sila. there was also another one, whose picture has been used in some campaigns too.

    shame on them!

  37. hehe..next level na face mo..hehe..sikat kana..

  38. Hey, that’s the price for being famous! The next thing you might see is an impostor claiming to be you, being interviewed on Boy and Kris! hahahaha.. but I helped you out, dude.. I already google-bombed them a couple of times this weekend… serves them right! hahaha!

  39. Hope someday picture ko nman ang sumika hahaha. pano ba mag google bomb?

  40. palagay ko, isa lang gumawa nyan, tapos may recruits sya, pinakopya yung sales page nya…kaya ayun, kung ilan yung recruits nya, pare-pareho yun…ang tanong, sino yung ugat?
