Hi Everyone!
i hope everyone's okay. I just want to rant about the photographer I hired for my wedding.. well, bottomline... he made a fake review at freeindex using my name, and telling everyone what a great job he did! Of course, I didn't take it sitting down.. I emailed him, he apologized, then removed his post. now, the page cannot be found. I didn't pursue the matter at that time because he still has my pictures and video.
I got my wedding photos not long after this email and to be honest, I think his work is crap. There are nice ones but it was not as nice as I have expected. Nonetheless, I wasn't satisfied.
A week ago, I went through my yahoo inbox as I was looking at the price quotations emailed to me in relation to my wedding blessing in Pinas. In the search tab, the email exchange I had with this photographer came up so I began to read them again. Then I googled search him just to check if the fake review was still there. It wasn't. Then I searched more and came across this hate campaign against him by another photographer. Apparently, my photographer has been using pictures and videos of other photograhers in his website. Even the website content was copied from another photographers website. This hate campaign was already featured in BBC.
And then, as I kept reading, I saw my name there. According to the hate-campaign organisers, this phtographer used my name to enquire about a service and then posted a review against the hate-campaign organisers. This hapenned after my wedding. The hate-campaign organisers knew it was a fake review because they saw my freeindex review telling him that I am the real Florge.
After reading all these, I googled the new reveiw site he used (Trustpilot) and there, I made my review of his work.
See this thread: http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/squashedapple.co.uk
I think you can also read here my reply to his claim that my wedding was raided by immigration officers?! Goodness! what a big liar!
Anyway, is there any legal action I can do? The hate-campaign organisers already reported him to trade standards and to the police. I want him to be out of business as this is, for me, not a clear and fair way of dealing with past customers. I can't do anything with his crap photos and videos but I don't like him using my name and claiming to be me.
