In a reverse look up of the phone number, it shows that it is a cell number from the Sacramento area.
 
Oh my Gosh!! That is a complete knock off of yours. I can't even imagine what you are thinking. I've never heard of them or her. You need to do something about this immediately. I can't believe someone would copy it exactly. It's just so wrong.
 
Clay at the bottom of your page it states "All Rights Reserved"....is this a legal term to help you fight this? That's just plain old nasty.
 
Good catch Clay, how did you find this site?

I agree with Cathy about contacting the hosting company, I'd also have an attorney contact them. You might also consider getting screen captures in the mean time so you can prove it was there if they should change it in a hurry.

I had someone in California ask if he could use some of the content on the site....and he mentioned that I might do a Google search on one of the content feature names to see who else is using it. The only one on the Google page that is using one of my sympathy templates is Phil w/ Marvels (a flowerchatter)....the NevadaSympathyFlowers I have never talked to. From here out I am going to Google some of my content and keep an eye out.
 
If you build it, they will steal

Oh Hell no.

This just happened in a less obvious way to us. They did'nt copy the entire website like they did to you but they are only 8 miles up the street from us.
At least your thief is out of state. Still, it needs to be righted!
I'm not shocked actually, just this:mad::mad:
 
Clay, I've visited with other florists around No. Nev and haven't come across this person.. Actions like this, when someone thinks no one will notice, sure reveal the values of the individual don't they? the truth will always be found out.

from the sound of your post.. all she would have had to do is ask, like the person in CA? tsk tsk
BTW.. your site is increadible..you could give me some pointers!

Some emailed me to say that the cell area code of 925 is from around the East Bay, Walnut Creek, CA area.

I have emailed FTD, Teleflora, SAF regarding theft of their images/logo....it will be interesting to see what their response....or lack of respose.....is.
 
I searched the Carson City address to see if it was a main street and it doesn't appear to be, but I'm not that familar with Carson City either. This also came up for the address http://www.bluestarmothers.org/pdf/servicestarorderpage1.pdf

I can pretty much say that they've never been given a florist award or Twiggy & I would have heard of them. We stay on top of those things.
They are not listed as a Teleflora shop. Can you check with SAF and find out anything?

I think we talking Basement Betty here. I use the term basement, but she's gone pretty low.

Well at least your being realistic Clay ;)
 
I did get one response

Got this from Jack at Teleflora this morning, he did state that he would have responded earlier, but he was at SAF CAD most of last week.

I will continue working on this one, but as you can see, they have a phone that is "no longer in service" and give no physical address.

I have identified several of our images on the site and e-mailed this question to the e-mail address they post on the site for communication.

I have also e-mailed Phil to see if he can gleam any more information from the original e-mail.

Thanks

I have not received a response from my emails to SAF and FTD yet.
