Several months ago i found this web site "ce - rti : fyd .. um ! ps" and was interested to buy a study guide of one of the exams just to confirm what i have learned during the few months. Here is the problem, i joined, i paid via paypal, i got the materials but it wasn't what i wanted! They claimed the practice exam engine comes with a Study Guide in PDF. I found the study exam practice engine but i didn't find the Study Guide which is what i mainly wanted to have.
I disputed the transaction via paypal, but nothing really helped. I called the bank to dispute the payment and ask for full charge back. Later within 2 months, which is today, i got a letter from the bank saying the case is closed to his favor since the seller reacted and sent documentation that i had such as the full login info, receipt, etc.
Here is the deal, the bank sent me a letter with all the documentation that the seller faxed them. What a shock! The first paper had my Username and *Password*. The password in plain text! So it's been exposed by the seller. In addition, it's been sent via fax to the bank. The bank employees saw my password surely! So my password was all over! The password means alot to me because it can give them access to some of other more serious accounts.
I'm really offended, is there any Web Police or similar services?! The seller is the one to blame, i believe a password should not be seen by anyone. No one ever can know the password except the owner. Web moderators or admins user different means to access the user's account because no one knows the password except the owner! Therefore,"ce - rti : fyd .. um ! ps" moderators , in some way or another, steal people passwords and they have the potential/chances of using it against other owner accounts such as the email associated with one username or so.
Again, guide me please! What should i do? I'm very annoyed, i got out of it safely, surely others don't and probably won't since they are not aware of it yet.
"ce - rti : fyd .. um ! ps" i did it that way not for the SEO to catch it.

you can whois the website and know which country it is hosted in.. .and owned by whom... .i guess you have to sue them in their country... that's one point...
now another point... is dealing with a dump site legal at all?? i remember Microsoft has sued Testking and won in 2007 for copyright violation..
where do we stand morally or legally when we are buying illegal material (copyright infringed)?
