I followed the same steps, received acknowledgment of my email from copyrightclaims@godaddy.com, then a subsequent email that I have copied below:<br />-----<br /><i>We appreciate your patience in this matter. Unfortunately we are not able to assist you from this office regarding this claim.<br /><br />You'll need to submit your copyright concern to abuse@heg.com as the content is not directly hosted by GoDaddy.</i><br /><br />----<br />They claim the site is not directly hosted by Godaddy.com but Godaddy.com owns Heg.com or Heg US.com, whatever name the domain owner uses. I replied:<br /><br /><i>My content has been stolen, scraped by Toynewz.com. Godaddy.com owns Heg.com, the domain provider of Toynewz com.<br /><br />I have, at your suggestion, emailed abuse@heg.com about this issue. I have not received a reply or an acknowledgment of that email.<br /><br />When I enter Heg.com into my browser, I am directed to the GoDaddy.com website.<br /><br />Why, then, can't GoDaddy.com force Toynewz.com to remove my content and discontinue the illegal scraping of future content from my blog at blackdollcollecting.blogspot.com?</i><br /><br />------<br />I am still waiting for their reply.

They informed me to contact abuse@heg.com since Heg.com is the web host for Toynewz.com. I feel as though I've been given the runaround since reportedly Godaddy owns Heg. I have emailed abuse@heg.com to report what Toynewz.com is doing. Here's hoping they will resolve the issue quickly. If not, the next step is to file a DMCA takedown notice, which I will do using the link at the following URL.<br /><br />https://www.dmca.com/FAQ/What-is-a-DMCA-Takedown<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-2964384702797539202022-04-07T15:20:06.626-05:002022-04-07T15:20:06.626-05:00And yes, I too, have been bot scraped!!!
Thank you...And yes, I too, have been bot scraped!!!<br />Thank you for your exhaustive report. I may also post something on my own site with a link back to your post as I do not have lots of time on my hand right now. However, I did begin to research what if anything we can do to protect ourselves. Much of what I found I could not really understand (lots of tech talk). But one thing I did was to turn the Captcha function back on. I had turned it off because a few folks complained how it complicated leaving comments. It doesn't solve the problem but they say it will complicate the process for certain bots. Thank you for the email and phone number of Godaddy. I will contact them to complain for what it's worth.<br />This is most frustrating.... We do all of this work for only the love of the hobby so it's doubly insulting, doubly disgusting that there are creeps out there who disrespect our blogs.april_n_parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14548456156450662065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-53783956749822959342022-04-07T10:54:32.877-05:002022-04-07T10:54:32.877-05:00Hello again, Wendy and others who live in the UK a...Hello again, Wendy and others who live in the UK affected by bot scraping:<br /><br />If you are based in the UK, you can contact the UK ActionFraud and Cyber Crime unit, to report the theft of your copyrighted material, and any identity theft that has happened as a result of the cloning. They can be found at http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud. It’s likely that the fraudster is living in a different country, but it’s important that the police are alerted to these crimes.<br /><br />I found the above information by reading the article, "What to do if your blog or website has been cloned" at the following URL:<br />https://pigeonpairandme.com/what-to-do-if-your-blog-or-website-is-cloned.html#:~:text=Report%20the%20clone%20to%20their,they%20provided%20on%20the%20site.<br /><br />dbg<br />Black Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-36856448626758783522022-04-07T10:02:54.346-05:002022-04-07T10:02:54.346-05:00I am so sorry this is happening to you, Wendy.

This is is the last thing you need to be bothered by. <br /><br />It's is very frustrating. I've had a headache for two days caused by this.<br /><br />Right now I am preparing to fill out the copyright infringement form at the link shared by Godaddy (I will share it later). It requires a lot of screenshots and other information, but I am determined to follow through in hopes of having this site taken down or at least my info removed from it.

Dealing with such sh*t is draining and confusing. I plan to put a mention and a link about your story in a hobby newsletter, for this issue's IP spotlight, especially since we just learned a new term, "bot scraping." Now that we know it, we'll probably see examples within the week. As a token of our esteem and respect, may we point out this charming public domain image which you may find entertaining if not actually useful: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Warning_unauthorized_use_may_vaporize_you_(5277424033).jpg lizziewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04458626487612836751noreply@blogger.com
