Hi guys, I am Josh from Discountclones.
I will start off by saying we dont sell stolen scripts as these three idiots stated. I thought I would post to clear somethings up about "Ray" and "Scott" and of course "Richard".
Richard and Ray have some kind of chemical imbalance in their brains. I've never dealt with anyone like these guys before.
This whole fiasco began with these guys buying a perfectly good working swoopo clone from another site (Swoopo Silver). This script was running on Swoopro.com (which THE DOMAIN IS A VIOLATION OF SWOOPOS TRADEMARK NAME). Richard couldn't edit a simple configuration file setting to add a Paypal address and had him screaming at everyone that the script did not work.
He came to our site about two weeks ago and we went in and edited the setting for him. As soon as the site was up and running he went to his credit card company and charged it back and decided to keep the working functioning site.
Not knowing the above, he came to our site and purchased our telebid clone. Our script is an ethical script and does not offer admin autobidders or any other scam functions. Once we installed the script on Rich's poorly configured server we realized the script wouldn't run correctly due to Ray's poor setup job.
Then the threats started.
Richard began telling he was charging back his purchase. Wanting to do everything I could to help this guy I paid for a server out of my own pocket and moved the site. For over a week the site ran fine because I did not give him access to the server.
Following some more threatening emails I gave him and Ray access to the server. Within hours it was overloaded and had numerous rootkits installed. I monitored all the traffic going to and from the server during this time and watched Ray login to the server and intentionally mess up the server.
It appeared to me that these guys only wanted to get the script. After which they would just charge back the purchase. One they're biggest problems with our script was that it didnt automatically shill bid for them. We explained that our script was ethical and did not allow this type of bidding fraud. This angered him.
Sure enough the threats started again. They then moved the site again, this time back to Rays server where it ran fine again.
Once they thought they were in the clear they decided to charge back the purchase. At the time of the email below the site was up and running fine.

After dealing with these guys for over two weeks daily, hopping from one foot to the next to please them I have to agree with everything I see here on this forum about them.
I regret ever doing business with these clowns as it was a massive waste of time and judging by all the slanderous posts I see posted about us I can see it will not help business either.

A few days ago after we got the chargeback notification I went to
www.swoopro.com and
www.swoopbug.com and could still see they were running our scripts.
Another email from Richard
Quote:I can see you decided to make this ugly and a war, how many customers are you willing to lose just to save 400 bucks, there is nothing you can do to hurt me not a thing. but you on the other hand can stand to lose a lot, tulip tools doesn't care about truth they like to make things up , rippoff reports,complaints board, your advertisers and affiliates are all going to be contacted. woth the 400.bucks and i am getting that back anyway when i go to the bank your a fool you should never have started in calling me a theif agai. dumb and dumber, after I charge back your script I think I will keep it and use it. Ray has blocked your licensing so have fun shutting us down hahahahahaha
Our scripts use remote licensing technology whereby we can shut down a site license if Fraud/Charge back is later detected from an order. What they didn't know is our technology cannot be blocked and it was trivial to turn off the site script.
We explained to him that buying a script online, having us install it, do a bunch of modifications, rent him a server, install it again only to have him move it on us and attempt to keep the script after a charge back was FRAUD.
Now we have a big mess to clean up, but I quickly discovered that Ripoff Report doesnt allow any posts to be removed ever. So he can slander falsely at will.
If you are a software vendor and you read this avoid Ray from Binary Web's (poor hacker), Scott and (Mentally Ill) Richard Austin.
Couple of things also. I don't think Ray is Richards son (although they're both retards with short tempers). I think these two met through Scott who had big powersellersunite plans to take over Ebay.
They bought Probid and tried to load 4 million auctions up on it (which no PHP software can handle) then turn around and complain about it.
Scott, Ray and Richard your all fucking douchebag's and I wish you nothing but failure and bad luck.
