Title: Stealing Reviews

If you are a reviewer who prefers not to be plagiarized, you might want to
check the link below. 'Edson.financial. group' has over 200 of other
reviewers' work that they have posted and claimed as their own on eBay.
linkyI found one of my reviews there. Ghost of a Chance by Kate Marsh is my review that this person stole. I have reported them to ebay. You might want to check and see if any of your reviews are there. GRR! :rant:

Eek! I'm so sorry Terry. That sucks big time. :hug: I didn't know people stole reviews for using on eBay. I've heard of Author stealing reviews without permission before though. Both weird. :blink:

I think it sucks when they use your review under their name. One thing I don't understand is how do they benefit? I understand why an author does it, but these guys :shrug:

Wow... that's pathetic on their part.

Hopefully E-Bay will do something about this. The least they could do is ask if they can use your review and give you credit. :angry2: I don't blame you for being ticked.

Yeah, a lot of people are up in arms about it. I don't blame any of them/you. It's pretty sleazy.
