Edited... SORRY! Wrong reading on my part...

P.S.:

I see that there is a "blackmail" angle to it (the boss is blackmailing you and he forgets he also has a Inc. office in the US)! Find a US attorney immediately -- there are attorneys in US who fight your case (only if it has substantial substance in it) for free and then take a cut later (50%-60% or more) when the compensation is paid! lol

Talk (email) to their US company first. Give them details of how you're being blackmailed. They will consult their law department first and then stay quiet. Be persistent all the while but don't threaten. First copy their 'Contact Us' page to your HDD so that they don't change it later to show that there is no US company involved... The first thing they will change is their US related info from the site so copy all important pages to nail them as a US based company.

They have a US-based phone number on the site which makes it a US company with a possible Indian subsidiary which (possibly both) worked with you. You have a case to fight for.

Interesting story. I am also an Indian but I was also duped by an Indian guy on DP. I bought a wordpress blog from him for around $500 after seeing that the alexa rank around 70K. He mentioned in the sale that he made at least a couple dollars every day. That was a year ago and I trusted a bit till then though not much as I had seen alexa dancing irrelevant to the traffic for a couple of my sites. He was somewhat new to DP and after I bought I bought I realized that he has cheating openly and the website was pure BS. The website hardly had a few dozen visitors and was not even making cents a day. He must have inflated the alexa somehow but I was really pissed off. I asked him for a refund and to take back his website due to false promises but he refused to do so. Then I played mind games with him and I also applied for a refund from paypal on false promises. The mind game was pretty well planned and I gave him several points including vague ones how I will easily win the paypal case. He was somewhat new to websites and so finally he refunded around a hundred dollars or so less. I also told him that I will guide him on SEO so that he can become a genuine webmaster instead of a fraud and that also attracted him perhaps in doing that. So, mind games is also important. I stuck to my words however and taught him SEO techniques and now he is an established webmaster with my guidance. He still keeps on taking tips from me and whenever he has any problem regarding anything he asks me about it. He is reformed and that is also a good thing. Hope that you get your money back.

Ok guys, I haven't opened this thread for a while. I've noticed that they have a US company as well, but tought it wont work.

However, I bought their .net domain and already indexed it on spot #4 (a few backlinks were enough). Now I added another article and will blast some more links for this article.

My question now is: How to protect the .net domain in case they try to deindex it (mass shitty links, etc.)? I'm pretty sure that will be the first thing they will try to do after they realise what I've done.

I think that you've NOW unnecessarily opened up a chance for them to take legal action against you. You should have talked to their (their US office's) legal department first and tried to resolve the case.

After you've created a site with their own business name, and created those smoking posts, they will now turn the case to their legal department and turn a deaf ear to your subsequent efforts.

IMO, you should really have talked to their US office first, and many times if needed... Now can you defend yourself against a US company which can (may be) easily put up top legal teams against anyone in the world, esp after you've globally 'humiliated' them now, and IMO, illegally?

IMO again, now it is 101% sure that they will turn you to their legal department for defamation among other things... They will not communicate with you now, and only their legal department will do the screwing part.

Unless you are able to fight their legal approaches and win fast, I guess it's going to be extremely 'painful' for you.

US Office? Legal Department? I don't think so. Their "US Office" is a residential house.

Some interesting information about the company:

From everything I can tell, they have 1 employee in the entire USA, and of course, he is the President of US operations and the company is entirely located in his residential home. I wouldn't be scared of his "Legal Department."

Hey OP.. quite unfortunate to hear your case. After dealing with a lots of Indian 'SEO' expert companies that send emails with 'western' female names, i've pretty much stopped outsourcing my SEO stuff. Sticking to just BHW.

I don't think its worth your time to create .net/.org domains of these idiots. Since Paypal has refused to work in your favor, I suggest you do a bit more research and find out their phone number or if its difficult to find, start off as a fresh customer (preferably using a proxy so you hide your IP footprint as well) and tell them you have a big budget project, they'll fall for it.

Speak to them politely in terms of refunding your money back or tell them you will take legal action both in their US office as well as the city they are based in in India.

Also suggest you speak to Paypal again, explaining the situation that they (Paypal) are indirectly/associated in helping these idiots to scam others as well, Paypal wouldn't want to get involved in legal lawsuits, especially in India where its already difficult for them to operate.

If the company is legally registered in India, then they must be registered under STPI or some kind of company registrar, you could drop them an email as well.

Bottom line is, do your research and threaten these guys with the valid options you have, they will give in, eventually.

And an expensive lesson learnt. Hope you would repeat this mistake again!

i checked their address and it is in my state!
if you still need any assistance ,just msg me!

EDIT: just googled their company name and the .net(describing them as scam) is ranked 4th!

EDIT again: emailed him asking "why do u guys fucking spam ad spoil Indian IM's Reputation",and this was his reply!

We do web and mobile development.


We need to know why you send such a mail and who complained to you, we need to correct if we have did a mistake

 

[ygg]

Ok guys, really different opinions about lawsuits, etc.

The .net site is ranked #4 and that's true. Yet I haven't told them this, and I guess they don't know it yet (as for now).

To be honnest I'm not really scared from their legal department, if we can call it so..

Don't know really what to do next...

See, this is the best way to teach a lesson. you are the man

You can chargeback - a dispute will be opened. Just hope you don't lose. Even if they have no money, if their account is verified paypal can take money from them like billing. Their account will go negative and they will have to fund it.

Looks like you lost that cash but it'll be a solid lesson for you so you don't fall into that mess again. Better luck next time but as I'm sure others have said it won't be possible to get your cash back.
