Xyjak Scam Warning! ***SCAMMERS - GoFuckYourself.com

big_fucking_blast · 02-19-2008, 04:16 PM

Warning all webmasters before they buy from these scammers!
I noticed they were stealing templates from TemplateMonster.com, just altering them a little and than selling them as their own!

JUST A LOOK AT THIS IMAGES CAN CONVINCE ANYONE OF THIS FACT!!!

I had a discussion with them on email that proves everything:

Quote:

Me:
Look here:
http://www.templatemonster.com/wordp...mes/17599.html
http://templates.xyjak.com/template_...plate_id=00003
I'm not talking bullshit, who's copyrights are this? and how the templates are made from scratch?
And I have the same reasons about the rest of the themes.

Quote:

Tim-Xyjak:
Hm. The only thing I can't understand is .. your intentions.
Can we move this discussion to GTalk ?

Quote:

Me:
And I can't understand the stealing part... I was almost to believe that your themes are original...

Quote:

Tim-Xyjak:

OK, ll we can do is to hide template #00003. Will you be satisfied?

Quote:

Me:
Unfortunately all of them are like this...

I assume you can draw your own conclusions regarding their claim for originality

Jace · 02-19-2008, 04:38 PM

DirtyProfits · 02-19-2008, 04:39 PM

Hm that sucks big time! What about the toons? Are they stolen too?

Jace · 02-19-2008, 04:42 PM

btw, you should send that to templatemonster, they will eat him alive

Vick! · 02-19-2008, 04:54 PM

I don't think its copyright problem. Their template seems highly inspired but not copied/edited.

IMO.

Yes, apparently some people have severe eyesight issues. Man, it's the same damn shit, they just added a cheap fucked-up looking character. In all honesty they made it worse.

Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life · 02-19-2008, 05:05 PM

i dunno, looks pretty hard to say that one isn't a copy, do you have any other proof besides the one match up? i bought a review template and for the most part have been completely satisfied with it, and have been considering buying another, but if you can provide any more proof that they are in fact copies. I won't bother buying another...

i wonder where the toons come from..

Jet - BANNED FOR LIFE · 02-19-2008, 05:07 PM

Oh, LMAO!

I did not see the horizontal scroll.

I was comparing the top template to the bottom template

Firstly IF you want to steal from some huge-ass template designers at least make sure to do it PROPERLY and secondly IF you are going to write some huge-ass reply somewhere at least make sure you do it PROPERLY. Seriously now.

It's obviousely a copy, not inspiration, the color sheme and design elements are EXACTLY the same and despite of some minor header changes every designer could make you in less than an hour (except the toon) it's a 1:1 copy.

About the toons: Who steals and resells other people's work most likely prefers investing no time or has no skills, so I'd highly doubt anything they "created" is original.

That's pretty highly inspired alright, lol. Did you look at the first one? It's an expect copy for the most part.

Xyjak! Ltd. Spokesman Jim Campbell Clarifying Answer from GFY Forum

Today (February 19, 2008) we disclosed that 2 of our WordPress templates was made very similar to another template vendor products.

First of all we want to thank Mr. Larry Mateusa who noticed that fact and reported it on GFY forum. The following actions were applied:

1. Templates #00003 and #00010 were removed from the store immediately.
2. The author of this templates (name not disclosed), who turned out to work at that template vendor (name not disclosed) was sidelined from production and legal affair was initiated.
3. Customers who purchased templates #00003 or #00010 can get the complete refund of exchange for any other template.
4. We are keeping investigation about the rest of templates but there seems to be no more matches.

Xyjak! Ltd. will appreciate any further help in raising product, services and support quality. If you think you have any questions of notices regarding this unpleasant issue please don?t hesitate to contact us.

Jim Campbell,

Ya, it's a nice try, but I don't think it plays out very well. Something a little fishy about it all really. First he comes here telling us nobody is going to care anyways, then he realizes that people do care, so he comes up with the "press release" as a way of saving face.

if "Jim Campbell" is the spokeperson, how come it's you Tm who makes all the posts to the forums, it's Tim you speak to when you contact on ICQ, ec etc. Why have we never heard of Jim Campbell? What exactly does he do? He just pops out of hiding to make anouncements regarding ripped off content? lol

You sidelined the guy who made the themes eh? How about the OTHER themes this guy made, all the themes have the same toons on them for the most part, would it be wrong to assume that one person did all those designs? I'm sur eit's possible they could have been added after the fact, but if you ask me there's just too many loose ends that aren't tying up

I've bought one theme for $60, but I won't be buying any more at this point.

CyberHustler · 02-20-2008, 04:33 AM

I bought a theme and was very satisfied. Was planning on buying more. I gave him a lot of praise bumps lol. Was worried about the prices being so low with those toons, but said fuck it. I hope all of this gets sorted out because his prices are great compared to these other designers who rape you for something decent.

Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life · 02-20-2008, 05:33 AM

the same style toons are used on the majority of the themes, now who's to explain how these themes were made by different contributors? if you're going to skid the supposed 'sontributor' wouldn't you skid all his designs? this is onbviously a one man show with the perpetrator attemping to cver his ass with bullshit 'press releases'. Scum. I'd have to assume that all the themes were made by the same person, 2 of the tooned theme have already been zeroed out as copies, it's only natural to assume there's more. Who knows where the other templates came from or how far they've been editted to not be noticeable. I wouldn't trust buying anything here again.

Don't worry he's likely to be back with something new... they always do. Rather than put the same effort into something honest.

CyberHustler · 02-20-2008, 08:25 AM

Now since the site is out of business I think is clear that they are scammers...
all this proofs are to much for them to handle it and they preferred to quit.

of course, they closed shop and took off. there's no information under the whois, they'll close all their accounts and start fresh either somewhere else with the same scam, or under a different name. closing shop was nothing more than a complete admission of guilt. they tried to cover their ass, and got called on it, and outed again, then they ran. this concludes this chapter... until next time folks...

I would imagine that someone from GFY went crying to GoDaddy and things are just "suspended pending investigation".
