Its with great displeasure i report this to the community here. One of the members who is also a private member at the gpwa has decided to go ahead and steal my content.
This is a real unethical and rotten thing to do. I spend good amounts of money on articles not to have them stolen from me from other members who i am suppose to trust.
I thought CAP members and GPWA members were suppose to be respectable honest affiliates who do not steal each others content.
Alphonso69 I want you to remove the article immediately and i want a written apology form you and explanation as to why you think its ok to steal my content.
Sometimes we make mistakes but this is just way over the top. You cut and paste it in its exact format word for word almost.
Why would you steal other webmasters work?? WHY!!! What gives you the right sir to be a theif and do this?
I cant believe it when trusted members of a community can backstab one another like you have just done.
Shame on you!
For everyone who wants the proof here it is.
My article here:
Casino Articles Online – Reasons to play Free Slots
His article (stolen from me)
He even applies a nice Slotocash banner in the thread and uses my content to gain him slots players. I have been in contact with sloto cash regarding this as well.
If you want to see screen shots of this i posted them on gpwa as i cant post them here due to size of file… Clearly the screen shots show they are exact and it was a cut and paste job.
Screen shots hereA long time member in the affiliate community i cant beleive he would do this.

I have contacted Sloto Cash and Aff Active Affiliates programs to alert them he is using my content to gain himself players..
Waiting on their official reply.
I posted to sloto cash here
Yes i could not post to aff active as i do not see them as a sponsor here.
Steve
I am now officially asking CAP management. Will you do anything regarding this thief?
He refused to contact or make a statement regarding this matter.
I think he needs to be disciplined. He is benefiting as a webmaster bein a member of CAP and GPWA while he steals other members content.
I am now asking CAP to protect me…
Please do something.
Steve
We have to allow a little time for him to respond I think – and fix things.
I have little tolerance for thieves myself.
What does slotto say?
Thanks for the note back.
He has been online here today and also GPWA. NO official reply from him here nor there.
Sloto asked me not to make refrence to them and their actions, only to say they would handle it. So i cant comment to much on what they have done…
Can you please message him to make a public post. I want his full co operation.
Thanks again.
Well, CAP admin has left for the weekend, so I’ll be sure to bring this up monday.
That gives him two days to come in and respond….
Thank you.. he wont.
Guilty parties always try and avoid and hope it goes away.
It wont go away trust me…
He is a theif!! And he needs to be removed and shamed!!
Simple!!
Thanks
Steve
Have you filed a complaint with google and his hosting company?
I usually have excellent success with the combination of contacting affiliate programs, google and the hosting company.
Hello,
GFPC asked me to post here about Sloto’Cash position with this situation.“Sloto’Cash do not support this type of practice as stated on the other gambling forum you have posted as well.
As per my email, we had took action about this issue and disciplinary measurement was taken in place on Friday last week.”We have contacted the affiliate again to be in touch with GFPC to apologize to him directly.
Cheers,
Connie
GFPC, with Sloto’s statement in mind, would you like me to contact the members of the CAP team that can help or do you feel this is taken care of?
Thanks Connie,
Well a couple of hours ban is better than nothing. But i am afraid he got off easy.
Here is a content thief who steals from webmasters and is allowed to continue working with affiliate programs.. Just upset about that.Greggor – Yes please. I have waited for his reply. Nothing. Nothing yet on all fronts
Cheers
Steve
We have temporarily frozen the account of Alphonso69. We at CAP take stolen content very seriously and wish to help resolve this issue.
We can not pass judgment on the issue at this time as we do not have the resources to check who had the content live first and we understand that sometimes there are misunderstandings.
We do ask Alphonso69 to come forward and address the accusation in a professional manner. Hopefully the issue can be resolved between the two individuals, if not, we will ask the ISPs to step in and handle the situation.
Thank you.
Thank you CAP admin I appreciate that. I understand your position and respect it fully.
Stolen content is a serious issue and one that happens daily in our industry. I jut feel it needs to be addressed and not avoided.
I do have the information of the writer who wrote the content herself and i communicated the copy with her as soon as i found out.
She did verify it was a direct match and a full cut and paste job from her work which was on my site.
My article was posted sometime in November while his was posted December 3rd.
I am fully prepared to offer any information and communications at your request to handle this matter anytime it is required.
I have all documentation and payment emails for this work I bought from the writer and will inform her to post her as proof in case needed.
My goal is only to have accountability – just want a public apology from the guy and assurance it will not happen again to myself or other webmasters and fellow affiliates.
We all work hard to better our sites, and content theft only hinders our industry.
Best
Steve
I can’t get involved here, but I wanted to ask a question. Is it possible the writer sold the article to another affiliate and that the other affiliate posted it to their site in good conscience?
Hey mate,
No not at all…
Just a couple of hours ago, with his frozen account here and a temp ban on his affiliate account and various pressures from other members and various other (possible black hat techniques) he finally emailed me.
He claimed it was an error and he did not pay attention to the copyright aspect of cutting and pasting my material on his site.
His email is posted on GPWA in this thread here.
He then emailed me saying he would post his apology publicly there about his unetihcal behaviour and apolgized. Just waiting on it..
I have asked the GPWA to vote on his private membership status to be revolked. In my email to him i asked for him to volunteer his ban for 3 months and reflect on being a more ethical webmaster.
He has removed the stolen content, he has somewhat admitted to theft, and just waiting for him to post publicly his side.
Well have to see what he says and consider if this is the kind of member we want in our community in the future.
Steve
