Unauthorised use of names of EDA members at a site ?

[laktronics]

Hi,
I was surprised to see my name being used to raise questions in the
Forum " **broken link removed** " with out my knowledge. I have also seen familiar names of many other EDA members there. Any idea what is going on there?

Regards,
Laktronics

Ordinary internet trash, apparently. I don't think, that you can stop it somehow.

Hi FvM,
Thanks for your reply, do you know that even your name is there, raising and answering some questions, did you know about it?.who will be responsible for the correctness of whatever is written there?

Regards,
Laktronics

I noticed after reading your posting, thank you for the report.

Perhaps an edaboard moderator knows about the location of the board or even have a contact.

Hi FvM,
Thank you for the details, I have also seen these from the whois directory, after you told me about it. But I wonder why should any body resort to such large scale impersonation and maintain a site like that?

Regards,
Laktronics.

I also noticed, that the forum discussion (if the term is applicable) at i-electronics.org was on only for 10 days. I wonder, if someone faked a discussion to acquire commercial advertising? If so, the project apparently failed.

Hi FvM,
You are very right, the referred site does not seem to be active after mid October 2008 and hope it won't restart the activities again.

Regards,
Laktronics

Yet another person not bothering to read the rules, posting in the wrong group and what looks like a demand.
