Mike Leahy spams newsgroups to sell chess database program - 2006/09/17 11:33
Bookup is a scam being run by a single, out-of-work, hack programmer! Mike Leahy is a known liar, thief, and con-man that runs this software scam. First, he offers you some software for free in order to get your email address. Then, he piles you with emails trying to get you to purchase his paid versions of the program and databases that he illegally distributes behind the back of the legal copyright owner without paying taxes. Then, if he can suck you into parting with some of your cash, he continues to harass you via email to try to get you to buy his so called updates. Not only that, but you can expect to start getting spam from third party companies that he sells your email address to.
The guy has litterally stolen money from someone I know personally as he attempted to take him up on his advertised "money back guarantee". He sent the software back buy he did not give him one dime back.
a dozen different aliases to try to bring people to his site to palm off his crap and to give the impression of neutral support. Don't be taken by this con-job.
If you want good chess software or databases that has been professionally made, stick to reputable companies such as Chessbase, Mattel, Convekta, etc.
Chessbase 8 has litterally everything that his junk has and much much more.
Keep in mind this guy is crafty, and as of recently, he has toned down the spamming in order to try to gain credibility. I have even tested him with a couple of email addresses. Don't be fooled though. This is a con-man tactic and he will quickly revert to his old ways in short order..
