shaun, how do you even get the darn thing to work! I have downloaded it, it isays it is installed on the dashboard, but I can not figure out how to install it to my contact page. I am new to WP and I am not very technical,

This has been on overwhelmingly great board. I have learned so much and all of your support has been so appreciated and useful! thanks to you both again. I feel so protected in this site! Now I have to figure out how to transfer my .com.au site to Bluehost!

I just put in for aussieappshop.com.au , it is pending now at godaddy! I have put in tax ID numbers etc to get verified!
Thanks so much for this idea and advice…I really like your site too. Did you design it? Did you build it?

Vis, I am sorry but I do ot quite understand what you are saying…
“If you are referring to wordpress.com or .org then i will advise you stay out of it as we are not the owner of that domain.”

I know what you mean and will of course take your advise…I am just a little overwhelmed right now!

Thanks so much to both of you. I must get to work now. I sure learned a lesson the hard way. Oh well…i have been using the internet wince 1997 and this is my first problem! who knows, they may pay me back my refund just to clear their name, if they are indeed trying to start a legal business. So far, I am very very nervous. There is never just one cockroach as they say! If they break a trademark law, I am sure they will be capable of other practices. I have offered them a public apology if they just refund my money! We shall see.

I will start ICANN now.

Speak of the devil…the customer support person has written me today, only defending her site, not offering anything meaningful like money back or domain name…she is now saying this:
“”””According to our president legal action is currently being decided by our legal team.
These charges include:
Defamation
Slander
Libel

We have all server logs, instant messages, and emails logged.
Nowhere on our website says we are www.ads-software.com or WordPress.com. We are neither, just as our website
title states we are WordPress Website Builder (wordpresswebsitebuilder.org)
Here is an article which may further educate you with the law:

Please do your own research. All our bases are legally covered, on our website you have 30 days
to request a refund and that refund would be processed within a 90day time-frame. I wont be able to
entertain any more of your emails. You will be notified of further legal action by email and finalized through
hard copy via your postal service pending our legal team’s findings.”

ME: Ironically, they say they will take on an intenational law case at 100’s of thousands of dollars rather than just refund $495.00 and start the domain name transfer. Shannon

Esmi, my daughter is a lawyer. she is advising me but international law is very very tough and expensive! She is ironically a lawyer with our internet an media regulatory authority here ( ACMA)…very funny, in a dark sort of way .https://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/HOMEPAGE/PC=HOME

This is the funny side of it!

Thanks esmi. I will report them to Godaddy today. I can not believe that I fell for this!!! I was in a hurry for a support site for an app I developed for iTunes app shop! Te domain name they stole was aussieappshop.com The poor site is still up. They did a terrible job of knocking up a web site! LOL

It is a nightmare becuase that is my registered business name here in Australia. I do not even know where to begin to get that back. I have built a wordpress blog as a support site for the app. I should have gone via Vworker or Odesk! I just very confused because their logo and name was almost exact to this one!

Thanks for all your help!

@vis I will let you know the outcome, but I do not hold out any hope. With the info you sent, they are all over the shop! I just hope WordPress shuts them down from using thier name and logo, if they are frauds!

https://firstalliancewa.com/ wordresswebsitebuilder also works under that site name as well.

@viscosity that is PERFECT! Thank you so much. They told me thy were in the Phillipines! LOL

Thanks Viscosity, will do so now

@esmi: Thank you so much. I wonder how many new people looking to outsource the building of a wordpress site have fallen in that trap! I paid 500 dollars, which I think I can kiss goodbye! ?? I have taken your advise and sent a warning to the foundation.
