Whocallsme.com Website Bogus, Malicious and Defamatory Postings

Notice Board

14th November 2011

Whocallsme.com Website Bogus, Malicious and Defamatory Postings
It has been brought to the attention of TAPA that there have been a large number of false postings published on to a US website called Whocallsme.com by anonymous individuals based in the UK that are aimed to maliciously defame the good reputation of our practice.
The false comments in large part are all aimed to convince browsers that TAPA is under investigation by Trading Standards and various other regulators in England and Wales for unprofessional trading practices. Other postings are aimed to convince browsers that TAPA's services are of little benefit to it's clients and that TAPA hoodwinks clients in to making payments to our practice without providing any service whatsoever to our clients.
The postings are disingenuous and aimed to cause maximum damage to our practice. TAPA is not under investigation by any regulatory bodies and has a very close working relationship with Trading Standards. Our legal representatives in the US have instigated legal action through the US Courts in the local jurisdiction to where the forum moderator is based to have the malicious postings removed and to identify the IP addresses of the hoaxers in the UK. This will then enable TAPA to trace the origin of the various postings through UK telecom providers so that we can instigate legal action against the persons responsible for the false postings.
Unfortunately, Whocallsme.com does not require any registration process and anonymous individuals are able to upload comments instantly upon accessing the website. Our legal representatives have concluded that it is likely that most of the hoaxers are persons responsible for the management of unscrupulous support publishing firms that our practice is assisting large numbers of their victims with. Other comments are likely to have been made by individuals that have arrears with our practice that we are currently pursuing for payment who have posted false comments in retaliation to such matters.
Persons responsible for the management of unscrupulous support publishing firms understand that if they can post as much negative publicity as possible about our practice, this may deter some of their victims from instructing TAPA to assist them and will ensure they are free to target the same victims again in the future without reproach. If you have browsed the postings on Whocallsme.com and have any concerns as a result, please be rest assured that we are doing everything within our power to get the comments removed as soon as possible. However, the legal process in the US can be very lengthy and can take months before cases are heard.
Please contact TAPA with any concerns you may have and our representatives will do their utmost to assist you. If any browsers of this notice have any information in regards to the false postings that may assist our legal representatives, please contact TAPA at your earliest possible convenience with any information you may have. TAPA will update this Notice Board at which time further developments have been made with the case.
