Unlike our previous reports, we’re not going to sit idle on this one. We are not finished with this investigation. In spite of several threats and attempts to take us offline, we’re still here. Now’s the time to give it back as good as we got from these rogue agencies.

So, here’s what’s going to happen.  We have discovered this DMCA and have verified it to be so. Hence this article. The following stages will include –

  • manually informing all relevant parties involved in this, including Google, Dr. William Portuese, the beneficiary
  • forwarding the information to Lumen Database and selected media organizations who are interested in these cases
  • publishing the negative content (they tried to remove) on multiple free-speech platforms such as ripoffreport.com, nameandshame.com etc so that copies of the content are available for eternity, and the purpose of this fake DMCA lost forever
  • continue investigating this case to find out which of the actors are involved, including any reputation or law firm, and if/when found, we’ll make sure everyone knows who is behind these illegal activities
  • set up Google ads to name and shame these so-called beneficiaries of these scams
  • and most importantly, we’ll forward our findings to all relevant law enforcement agencies in the jurisdiction of the beneficiary

If you think Dirtyscam was effective before, you’ll be amazed at what we have in store of all these scammers this time. Over the past few months, there has been a steady campaign against Dirtyscam.com with allegation and lies spread on dozens of free spammy blogs.

They claim that Dirtyscam.com works with reputation agencies and extort money to remove articles. So, if you are listed on Dirtyscam.com this time, you can thank these idiots.

If you need to inquire our removal policy, just email us. We can put you through to actual victims we have helped. Also, if you are one of the reputation firm claiming that you can remove content from our website, we openly dare you to try. Go ahead….

Finally, if you are one of the critics of Dr. William Portuese or have information about the reputation/law firm involved, or just want to post your thoughts and opinion, feel free to post a comment below. If there is one place from where he cannot remove any content, it is here.

    Lane Powell PC is one of the reputed and best law firm and I am very much surprised to see the acts of submitting the fake DMCA to the hosting provider.

    Use of image should be allowed to any website as per the fair image use policy otherwise, each and every news website should be banned by hosting provider and can’t survive.

    I condemn Dr. William Portuese as he is the actual beneficiary of this DMCA.
