As predicted, the response of the new domainowner only took a few hours. Read all about it in his most recent blogpost. In fact he is now impersonating to be me (do I sound schydzo already ?) … Any suggestions are more than welcome …
Did you know I was surfing the net the other day only to find some one had copied my blog, and (Domain name ) and are even displaying my email address ! (Yes, it can happen !)
I have been blogging for years as you will know and this Spam company is using the peter de haas content, please make sure you (only link to peter de haas.com)
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU TELL OTHERS AS THEY ARE DIVERTING TRAFFIC AWAY FROM MY WEBSITE WHICH I HAVE SPENT YEARS WORKING ON .
The site concerned has told people they have moved web address this is not true and you should not fall for this, they use a hotmail public address the real address to contact us on is iinfo at peterdehaasdotcom
Please make sure your site points to our website which is the correct one not to .org, com.eu etc, Once again the correct address is www.peterdehaas dot com
I have also provided a new look to my blog, to stop the confusion !
Do not be taken in by these people who claim to be us as they do look “authentic” as they are using my templates and my images and even displaying my email address, just remember this is cyberspace and it is easy to get taken in by these people, the proper site is “www.peterdehaas(.com)” these people tell you all sorts of things so YOU think they are peterdehaas(.com), please update your blog so you link only to peterdehaas(.com)
All this happened when I was away on vacation only to be told that I was no longer blogging, the truth is YES I am, please make sure you spread the word that www.peterdehaas dot com is the correct website.
I think it is time to take action and I need your help. Please can you check your blog roll etc to make sure it links to us at www.peterdehaas dot com as this spam company may of emailed you with there made up stories to fool you that they have changed websites etc……
If you don’t change the links they will most likely promote interesting “best deals” or maybe even porn sites in the future.
Please check that you are linking to the correct website- peterdehaas.com
Thanks for you help and understanding.
Best wishes,
Peter de Hass.com
(I have removed the links from this post ..)
Check with Microsoft legal. Since he is spoofing a Microsoft employee they might be able to do something. Contact GoDaddy and tell them that this is a bogus registration. Contact peoplehost.com, the DNS provider for the domain. Let them know what’s going on and see if they will drop the DNS records. Show GoDaddy and peoplehost the eBay listing. If that fails, go to ICANN. They should be your last resort because it’s going to be the slowest. DNS hosts and domain registrars are often easier to work with.
Good luck. This is one of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen.
Oh, if you notice, all the posts on the “new” site are attributed to peter de hass. I’m not sure why he would misspell your last name in the posts, but get it right in the domain name.
Peter, you yourself need to stop linking to peterdehaas.com.
Ed, Thanks
Thanks. I will take actions
I know name / address of the current owner also IP address, so info enough to start with.

#2 Charles, he probably spelled the name wrong because he hasn’t seen the connection between peterdehaas.com and Peter De Haas 🙂
He just bought a valuable domain-name and hasn’t realized that it is “Peter De Haas” with small letters and no spaces.
I’ve updated all your comments etc. to reflect the new domain name.
Ben, Thanks 😉
And thanks to all who have commented or taken action in other ways.
Meanwhile the old domain no longer shows the info quoted and the site owner contacted me agin via email.
I hope we can work something out. One way or the other, you will read it here first …
