    4 days ago, Grumpy But Gorgeous placed an advert on elance.com, looking to buy "thousands of Likes" for their Facebook page.

    I'm not a facebook user but have a feeling they can be reported to FB for this as FB do not like it.

    know ur facts get them right before you take to bullying an innocent girl

    Quite.

    Here she is 3 weeks ago, being exposed on Twitter after she was caught red-handed selling Web Design Services using a competitor's avatar (a reputable, well-established web designer) as her own.

    I must commend jack, he has been hard at work behind the scenes picking up on {Edited by Forum team}. We also picked up on a couple of her new websites, one called post a 5hit (I kid you not) where you can pay to have a 5hit posted to someone, think that is indicative of the person we are dealing with here.

    Also there was a car lottery website whereby you paid £2 for a number based on a reverse auction, which in her T&C's she claimed to be registered at the ICO, thing is I contacted the ICO and they stated they do not have her listed as a data controller and they are currently investigating and have come back to me twice now to say they will be in contact with her shortly. Enjoy {Edited by Forum team}.

    Oh I must add she has taken down the two websites in the last 24 hours. This big brand thing, hahahha, wont be when we are all finished.

    Hmmm the pamper parties london site attributes photos of One Direction to being Creative Commons licensed - someone doesn't understand licensing I suspect.

    The posts by rollers and shelley are stupefyingly cringeworthy, and one of the worst examples of shill posting I have seen on MSE, and that's saying something!

    I wonder if the board mods can compare IP addresses for these originators / new posters.

    The post a 5hit website sounds fun - do the website designers just post themselves?

    The grumpy website does not show the full registered address of the limited company (Which incidently is a virtual office) and also does not show the registered company number.

    You can cause problems for them with companies house for that
