  • Simon Macbeth – Class Action Legal Action! Join the Fight!

    –> Meet Simon Macbeth 🙂 <–

    A victim of Simon Macbeth, the countries worst landlord and general all round douche-burger, has reached out to me as they are forming a class action lawsuit against him as he is continuing to scam and defraud people out of their hard earned money.

    The following text is sent from me from the group;

    My names Bonnie and I was scammed by Simon Macbeth last year for £6,000. Myself and other victims are pulling everybody together to make statements including their Court references, and fraud action references. We are sending everything we have to the court and to fraud action to get this man behind bars and put a stop to this once and for all.

    We need everybody to come together, there is strength in numbers!

    So, if you’ve been screwed over by Mr Macbeth (Or one of his pseudonyms, Michael thompson or Martin winters) and want to join the fight, fill in the form below and your info will securely be sent to the group.

  • Stuart Paskin is a C**t – Apparently!

    Haha, harsh title perhaps, but a recent commenter on one of my other posts about Stuart Paskin revealed some info about a website called “theclientisac**t.com” which is no longer active, but that apparently contained lots of comments about our good friend the asshole that is Stuart Paskin.

    So, of course I had to spend 30 seconds trying to find it, and of course, I did.

    This is my favourite quote from the site;

    I’ll begin this with one of Mr Paskin’s favourite sayings: “without predjudice”. I can’t comment on Lynsey but Stuart Paskin is, and always was, a cunt. I had dealings with him as Grafitti Art in early 2000 and he regularly failed to pay suppliers and staff (all over the world). He’s consistently hidden behind the protection of business law and legal semantics and has zero credability. He couldn’t be further from the respectable, charitable Jewish businessman he portrays. BTW Lynsey: you’re deluded if you think he’s “moved onwards and upwards” — I’d be surprised if there was anything left of his father’s wealth. As for “proper professional channels”: Mr Paskin doesn’t close businesses this regularly on a whim but for his personal gain and legal cleansing. A morally (and financially) bankrupt cunt.

    Have a browse yourself, its pretty broken and its only an archive but if you want to see if you can find a better quote about Stuart Paskin then here’s the link.

    The endgame for these people is the same, but their approach has been updated. Trying to trick busy people who feel something may have been sent to them in error. Doucheburgers.

    Also notice the reply to is different from the sender address, and then the email referenced int he email body is also different – confusing! And very sloppy!

    If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

    Stay ScamWise!

  • Why the EU “Link Tax” is an absolute load of sh!t.

    You may or may not have heard, about the EUCD, European Union Copyright Directive – or Article 13 as it is being referred to. Well, its a load of documents wrote by old people who think the internet is evil, and it seems at NO POINT have they spoken to anyone that actually makes bits of the internet to see if their ideas are a load of horse sh!t or not.

    Well, im afraid it is mostly horse sh!t.

    The bit of Article 13 that left me absolutely speechless was the part about the “Link Tax” and how the EU want to see social networks and other platforms pay a licence fee to publishers, for the privalige of showing a snippet of their work in the link preview that we’re all so used to seeing;

    So lets look a little closer at this link preview melarkey…

    A random article from the Daily Fail;

    And if I go to post a link to this on Facebook;

    Hmm, I dont see that title on the image of the Daily Fail… so where is it?

    Oh its there…..
    Ah, its there too….

    “But what is that code gobbledegook, Olly?” I hear you say?

    It is the source code of the daily mail page, and the highlighted elements are the exact title Facebook used, and the title is specifically created and applied by the Daily Fail… themselves…

    So wait, publishers have COMPLETE CONTROL over the content that social networks use in the link previews? 

    Pfft… surely not for smaller publishers, though… right?

    Wrong.

    Admittedly, this preview uses the post title, BUT;

    This publisher has full control over the content used in link previews.

    Which means the point of the link tax, is to STOP the social networks from using the specifically-written-for-social-media link preview content that the PUBLISHERS THEMSELVES CONTROL and place on their websites…

    Am I the only person that finds this absolutely unbelievable?

    I wish people would let the internet be the internet.

    If it aint broke, dont fix it.

    EDIT: Posted a link to Twitter, and Twitter uses the meta description, which I HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER!
