Adf.ly script scam :(

[John]

Ok guys. So I just want to tell you about this and maybe u can give me some advice.

As you know I started a link shortener before 3-4 days and I bought script here

http://www.v-eva.com/products/Adf.ly-Clone-Buster%21-for-YOU.html

Everything was fine except support really sucks. I mean, I sent few messages to site owner (I needed some help) and he did not respond me. I thought "OK maybe he has a lot of work or something".

But after that I saw that script on many sites that look same as this above...

http://www.idemso.com/products/iDemso-Adf.ly-Clone-Script.html
http://www.kool-heads.com/products/Adf.ly-Clone-PHP-Script.html

And I thought "It is ok, maybe he thinks that if he has 3-4 sites that sell his script that will be easier way to sell more"

2 days after that I found some interesting...
In one php file I found this HEAD

So author of script is Nadeem Syed. I contact him and he said to me

Hi,

I'm sorry, but if you didn't buy it off me then you have an illegal copy of the script. I can't help you with that unless the script was bought from me.


Regards,
Nadeem

If you searched, you would have saved your money anyways remember that next time.

Well if he is (Nadeem Syed) original author why I can't find his site where he sells this script. And one more thing. Why he did not send DMCA or something to host provider of those scams?

I say file a claim with Pilmus let them know there seller is selling illegal copies of other people software including sending the proof of the email you've received from the original author of the script.
