What Happened to That Thread?
Hey it's me again and a thread disappeared so you're probably mad about it, so here's the deal. There is a pervasive problem going around in which a scammer registers a company that has exactly the same name or one very similar to another company. The scammer then conducts its scheme under that name, knowing that victims will blame the real company, who doesn't know this is happening, instead. This has actually been going on for many years and has been well documented.
The recent thread, now since removed, questioned unusual activity, albeit with very limited context. Nevertheless a company with a very similar name contacted us and expressed that such activity was an example of stolen identity that is already being pursued through legal means. They asked that it be taken down since it was not actually them that did it, but an alleged impostor, and the impostor's actions are being attributed to their reputation. As we are unable to ascertain the actual truth of the matter, the thread has been removed in the meantime, since such a scheme, if true, is not unheard of.
I expect that you will be unhappy with the decision either way but in any case wanted to provide some transparency into why the decision was made.
