Hi,

I have reported a website where the registrant and domain hosting is
Google Inc. App Engine - Appspot.com

This particular website is publishing unauthorised contents about my
business.

This contents comes on the first and second page of google when I type
my business name.

They are asking fees to remove contents. I made the payment via their
service section but they are asking for more money to remove all the
contents, It is against all applicable laws and Google Inc.
regulations.

They still haven’t performed their service. They have offered fake
services. IT'S EXTORTION.

I tried many times to resolve the situation with the website owner
but they never respond to my request.

I have reported the website to Google many times and I still do not
understant why Google haven't done any investigation and stay silence
regarding this important matter and also it is very dispointing that
Google support this kind of website.

I have follow every Google steps to remove those contents but when I
ask help, Google goes silence. Why??????

I need Google asistance to remove those contents and invetigate this
criminal website.

I hope this time I will have someone from Google App Engine to help
with this matter.

A. If you don't include a link no one can help you.
B. Don't ever pay a first party to remove bad things.
C. Unless the claims are fraudulent there is nothing that can be done.
D. I'm not a lawyer, but I have ones that take care of these kinds of things

The infinger website is www.showsiteinfo.appspot.com
 
I wan t to know why Google still haven't got back to me regarding this matter.
It says on their guidelines to remove content.'If you are have problem with website owner, contact the hosting company' and it's Google.

It’s a weekend, did you expect them to respond already?

 

You didn’t point to what they are doing wrong.  Looks like they just show Alexa data, I don’t think you have much of a case for a take down.

This website has offered to remove contents with a fee and after payment they haven't performed their services. IT'S EXTORTION.
 
You're telling me that there's nothing to be done?????? If you cannot help or don't have the ability to give support, don't post any comments.
 
I posted this message so someone from Google appspot will respond.
 
All I can see is obviously Google hosting is not anything like other hosting companies who gave support when somening is wrong
 
Google post all this information on their website regarding how to remove contents on websites but when it comes to them, they go silent.
 
Google appspot hosting  must do something as this is one of their client who has committed  a criminal action.

You will not get a useful response from Google here; their lawyers do
not read this list. It's a community support forum where a number of
Google techies happen to hang out. Not lawyers.

If you believe that someone is hosting a TOS violation on appengine
(see http://code.google.com/appengine/terms.html), then you should
report it per these instructions:

http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/general.html#violation

However, you will have to be a lot more clear about what exactly the
problem is than you have described here. I really can't figure out
what you're saying. It sounds like you gave money to some sort of
scammer, which is incredibly stupid.

LOL! Man, this site is wrong. I serve at least double, maybe triple digit numbers daily.

And go away, I know enough about (legit) SEM. The "trick" is to have quality content. Which I have, damn it.

I think that is SEO…   Unless you know a trick to get Google to run my ads for free based on high quality content…  In which case we have to talk J

 

Maybe NAG has a point telling people you get 0 visitors could hurt those ad deals and sponsorship opportunities…  but I think that would be tough to prove.

Putting your site behind CDNinaBox.com reduced the page load time from 1.8s to 923ms J

So Ikai, you are telling me that www.showsiteinfo.appspot.com hasn't breach anything. I think they did.
 
This website has offered a service fee to remove contents. After I paid them they haven't proceed the service, they kept the money and they never reply to my emails.
It's EXTORTION and UNETHICAL
 
and worst they have asked to pay them more money to remove all contents.
 
Surprisingly after I have lodged a complaint the service page has disapeared?????? - I have kept a screenshot of that page as a proof and all other documents.
 
I've tried to contact those people since novembre and nothing, no reply. www.showsiteinfo.appspot.com as violated 'Customers obligations' on the terms and services.
 
Bravo Google I didn't know that you are protecting criminal websites.
 
I have never asked to be on www.showsiteinfo.appspot.com  so I have the right to ask that my business contents should be removed; specially when this contents appears on the first page of google when I type my business name.
 
This is Google responsability to investigate.
 
I have never had any problems to remove contents from websites form hosting company who has always helped. Google should take lots of advice from those hosting compnay.
 
As a Google App Engine, you should resolve this situation as this is your client.

I am not a Google Employee. I can not speak for Google. That also affords me the Ability to say what Google Can’t.

 

Google would have your back if there was a Copyright complaint. You would file a DMCA and they would take it seriously.

You on the other hand have a Criminal matter. And one that currently is your word against theirs.  You need to lawyer up. File a complaint against the web site owner. That will get you a court order that you can provide Google To release the information of the person you paid the money to if that is required, and a take down notice that Google will (typically) honor.

 

Without these things you are just a loud obnoxious person who stupidly paid money when they shouldn’t have.  Using a method they shouldn’t have.  If you had used PayPal or another Escrow service you could say, “HEY that bastard didn’t do what they said they would” and your money would come back to you.

 

That didn’t happen. And that is an issue that you now have to deal with court and lawyers.

 

Should I feel bad for you? Maybe. But you came in to this forum screaming with Red underlined and bold text and wild allegations.  IF you had come in polite with a coherent story, I’d have said “Here are the things you need to do, sorry about your ordeal, Google can’t help you until you have the following things”.

Instead. Currently I’m rooting for the other guy.  He may be sleaze, but at least he isn’t obnoxious.

Practical. Not nice. It was going to take me more time to write a rule that removed him from my email threads than it would to shut him up.

 

Plus I figure since Google can’t win no matter what they say, I’d say something they couldn’t and hopefully free them up to fix bugs so 2.7 can be production, and random latency issues can go away J

 

I’m not nice. I just want my shit worked on instead of having Google guys distracted.    Don’t let this fool you I’m still evil. That’s why me and Google do so much business together.

And Ikai responded. Told you what you needed to do. And I responded and told you even more of what you needed to do, because google won’t tell you to lawyer up and get a court order.

 

I realize you are French, so that makes you more rude by default. But I gave you the information you needed to resolve this.  I did so in a much nicer tone than you.

 

The forum has been pretty nice to you considering how rude you are, and that this is a technical support forum and your issue isn’t technical in nature.

 

Now send Ikai a nice letter saying “Thanks Ikai, I appreciate the information you provided, I’ll follow up through the channels you linked to.”  Then go get a court order, you can even do that in your local country. Submit it through the Legal Contact for Google in your local region. And the site will come down. Or the Judge will decide not to do anything with the site and you can sue the individual for your money.  Either way you will have resolution.

Stop now. Nobody here can help you. And thanks to your attitude, we
wouldn't even if we could. All you have done here is convince a large

You need to take the legal agreement you made with the people you paid
to remove the content that details what they said they would do to an
attorney; they will help you get this all sorted out.  Maybe you can
even sue them to recover the attorney fees.

I was actually trying to make exactly the point that Brandon later
explained pretty clearly. I hoped my point would be made with humor
-- know what you're getting and have a contract that clearly states
this. You got duped, learn from it.

Your definition of "very rude" is over the top, and I'd classify "obviously you are not only incompetent byt very loud person" as insulting.

I wish you luck with recovering your ill-spent money, and hope you can find the help you are looking for elsewhere.

Nadia, can you describe the steps you have taken? Have you contacted the site owner?


Have you called your credit card company to dispute the payment? Have you spoken to law enforcement (note: I don't know if local law enforcement can do anything, but they may be able to point you the right direction)? Have you gone through the Google content removal process?


We have many developers who provide services, and they occasionally have disputes over money. They wouldn't be able to conduct business if, at the first sign of a payment dispute, one of their clients was able to contact us and shut the site down. It'd be analogous to if you bought a television that turned out to be defective, you wouldn't contact the landowner demanding that they evict the tenant.

The process exists to protect users and uphold fairness. You can't make demands out of process and expect results. I understand that due process can be frustrating at times, but living in a world where due process doesn't exist is much, much worse.
