Scary stuff, Dan -- I have had 100% success with cease and desist letters regarding copyrighted stolen web content from my sites. Letter #2 from a lawyer has always done the trick with recalcitrant thieves. However I see that your website does not have a copyright notice on the bottom of every page, the thieves web page does, so essentially they are claiming ownership of your material. I would have your webmaster put this in *immediately.* Was NABCEP willing to file a cease-and-desist, as the thieves claim they are NABCEP certified? I would also contact their internet service provider. I can't figure out how they mean to make money with this other than Facebook.....there are no ads, etc. I suspect they are going to try and pressure you to buy the domain name from them....this has happened to me before. At least they didn't steal your photos. Thanks Michael for leaving this thread up - websites are an important part of the RE business.
