The HYIP admins love stealing texts

I am sure I am not discovering the hot water by saying that many HYIPs use texts from other sites in their "about us" and similar pages. But I think the case with http://www.abfund.us/ is striking:

Here are tons of stolen texts from their home page:

"But just how soon will the vital fuel become so scarce and..."

- stolen from National Geographic (wow, how studious the admins are) - http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0406/feature5/

"The difference this time is that things are actually worse"

- stolen from Yahoo Finance - http://finance.yahoo.com/expert/article/richricher/3721

" Americans use 25 barrels per capita yearly"

- stolen from Counter Currents - http://www.countercurrents.org/peak...erson300904.htm


They are less creative in their "about us" page - the text "has been in the business of helping entrepreneurs create companies..." (and so on)
can be found in at leats 19 other sites.

" We are very excited to share with you some of the most cutting" - is stolen from a forex signal provided - http://prosignal.net/about.htm

Do these guys think we are plain stupid and can't do a simple Google search?

Yes! And except for a few individuals, such as yourself, they could be right.

Googling the text of a program is a G R E A T thing to do, also good to do if a bio is provided about an admin, owner, CEO etc. You'd be surprised at the number of stolen identity descriptions there are. Conversely, "google" the name of an 'admin, owner or CEO" and see what comes up. If these persons are 'world class' in their field, then it is very likely there is some information - publications, articles, biographical history to be found. If not, this person is likely fake.
I just sent off to request credential verification on a person renowned in their field (according to the website), but couldn't find ANYTHING on this person by 'search'. Guess what, no response. Not surprised.

I wish the search engines can also search for pictures - not thru entering a keyword but by uploading a picture. Then we'll see how many of the "team member" pics on many HYIP sites are also stolen

Sometimes, the web address of pictures is not attached to the domain. I check the "properties" of pictures quite often. Some admin/scammers are very d-u-m-b.
