Re: [NetBehaviour] serious question about identity theft - need help -

[Alan Sondheim via NetBehaviour]

Agreed, I'll probably have to let this go. But because it's using some of 
my language and words, I feel deeply violated and worry that it might be 
developed against me or taken as me by people who don't know. It's 
godawful ugly and I'd hope there'd be copyright violations, but that would 
require lawyers etc. and I don't have the money for that.


God I hate this medium at times - all the ads, hatreds, etc. I wonder how 
long it will be before my YouTube stuff is taken down...


Best, Alan, and thanks -

Hi Alan,

You can complain to the internet service provider for asondheim.org, which
seems to be wildwestdomains.com, according to the whois registry. However,
this is unlikely to result in any satisfactory outcome, as wildwestdomains
is basically a privacy shield service provider (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domains_by_Proxy).

If asondheim.org does not get much traffic (as seems likely) and it doesn't
change (likely, too, I  think it's just parked), it may not be worth
bothering about. I had similar adventures with variations on
paulhertz., but I don't think there's ever been any doubt about
which site is actually mine.

Sorry I can't provide a good blunt instrument to compel miscreants to fall
into line.

Paul

[NetBehaviour] serious question about identity theft - need help -

[Alan Sondheim via NetBehaviour]

Hi - I'm writing to ask if you could help or recommend anything - years 
ago my domain asondheim.org was bought out from under me by someone in 
Australia who offered to sell it back for a high price. I opened up 
alansondheim.org and have been using that ever since. Last night by 
accident I went to asondheim.org and found identity theft and I don't know 
what to do about it - he's taken my name, my work, and turned it into 
something about health industry that has to be a scam. If you have any 
idea what to do or could do something at your end it would be greatly 
greatly appreciated. I'm obviously distraught, I feel seriously violated. 
I don't know where to turn since I'm no longer university affiliated of 
course and haven't been for a while. Please let me know what you think - 
do I have to live with this?


Thank you so much - you can forward this to others if you think that 
would help. Please don't publicize.


Best, Alan, thank you -

Hi Joana,
Thanks for sharing. This seems inexplicable.
What happened?
