Tiger TeleServices: Content Thieves Alert!

Hey Tiger TeleServices, Some things are just so wrong they shouldn’t need repeating – or saying the first time, for that matter. Content theft is one of those. Blatant content theft is just plain nuts and you’d think that the content thieves would know that they’re going to get caught.

Who Is Tiger TeleServices?
Tiger Teleservices is a new SEO and blog ghostwriting company. You know they’re new because they have a gray bar for PR on the Google Toolbar. But another way you know they’re new is because their first blog post was made on September 13, 2008.

One of their blogging methods is to take a blog post from another company and copy it verbatim. They probably use a scraper. In this particular case they linked back to the company whose blog post they took, but they used the entire blog post and didn’t add anything of value of their own. That’s a problem for two reasons:

1. No. 1, it is stealing. They are trying to make a $$ off of someone else’s content by selling the same service as they writer of the original content.
2. Secondly, it doesn’t build trust in their services. If I was looking for a blog ghostwriter I would likely use the company that posted the original information, not the company that stole the content.

Finally, at the end of the post, Tiger TeleServices links from the stolen content to their own website, hoping to gain some additional business this way.

Tiger TeleServices’ Real Content Problem
But the blog is the least of the worries of Tiger TeleServices. If you go to their website then you’ll see static web page content that the company copied verbatim from Blog Content Provider and used for their own purposes. Same content. No changes. Verbatim. No attribution. Bad form.

Here’s the stolen content page at Tiger TeleServices website.

Here’s the original page posted at Blog Content Provider.

Click the links. You’ll see the similarities. And if you copy and paste the content into Google then you’ll see that Blog Content Provider ranks for the content. Tiger TeleServices does not.

We also tried contacting Tiger TeleServices to notify them of their illegal activity and to ask them to remove the content and write their own, but the phone number they have posted on their website didn’t even ring. Bogus number?

If you are the owner of Tiger TeleServices or know the owner of this company then please ask them to remove the content they took from Blog Content Provider and to write their own original content. It would be better for their business and ours if they wrote original content – and I’m sure the Tiger TeleServices’ customers would appreciate that too. We at BCP don’t like content thieves.
