If you find one negative article about you or your company on Fintelegram or any other fake and stupid blog online, calm down and don’t move!
The first thing that you would do is to contact them to remove, right? Wrong!
The second thing that you would like to do is to contact a reputation agency to remove it, right? Wrong!
The people behind the blog, are doing that for pure business. It’s dirty, but it’s a business!
They hire poor people from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, who write articles for 1-2 dollars, but they ask for 3, 4, 5000$ to remove the same.
These blogs change constantly domain registers and hosting providers since they are constantly under attack from lawyers worldwide.
But if you contact them directly, you become their victim, then they know the article hurt you, then if you don’t pay them, they will post and post more, pushing you to reach the level to pay them. And they will ask then more money since there are more articles to delete!
If you don’t want to pay them directly, NEVER and EVER contact a reputation agency to do so!
These companies will tell you a lot of bullshit stories like “we contact hackers in the deep web, we pay them in crypto, and they will attack the blog, log in with the admin password, delete the articles, and the owner never realizes what happened”
Nice story, but it’s a bullshit!
The owners of these blogs are not stupid, and neither is it easy login into their WordPress panel with their admin account, delete what you want and they don’t realize it!
Or they will tell you “We have a legal team, we send them a strong letter to their hosting provider, then the provider will force them to delete the article and they will do, so because they are afraid to lose the data”.
Another bullshit!
They change constantly hosting providers cause are bombarded via DMCA and defamation requests, then every 3-6 months change the provider and also, they do a daily backup of their blog. Why? If the hosting provider blocks them, they upload the same backup to another hosting and start again the business.
And if it was true about the page hiding on hosting A, be sure that on hosting B they will post the article again on hosting B.
And then what to do?
NOTHING! Ignore them!
Why? They understand that nobody is interested in their article and will be forgotten by the search engine since the older the article, the less ranking will get.
If you contact them directly, or via the reputation agency, and don’t pay them, then they will refresh the article date, then for Google is a fresh new article, then fresh and more ranking!
I know, you would like to get a solution, but the unique that you can get is to go via court and get a warrant for the search engines to “hide worldwide the article/s”. This is a unique way. And it’s not sure 100%. If the search engine hides the article scamblog.com/yourname, they can simply rename the same article in scamblog.com/your.name.scam for example.
Then you should get another warrant, then they will rename it again and again … and will be a never-ending story.
But also if you will pay them to delete, will expose you. They know that you are a weak person, then they will post after a few months the same or similar article on another blog, and the game will start again and again.
Then, sit down, relax, and let them scam the others, not yourself!
