Mike Leahy spams newsgroups to sell his chess database progr - 2006/10/17 20:22Bookup 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.. ---------

re:Mike Leahy spams newsgroups to sell his chess database progr - 2006/10/17 21:03Sorry again, but no one has described fraud. Quite a few anonymous posts have gone way beyond that, and your posts alleged that "a friend" experienced it, but no real human being has described fraud... mostly because it never happened.

If you must reply to this troll, is it too much to jointly ask that you snip his crap? I've separately killfiled him for a reasdon. As has been said I have also deadly killfiled others that easterly included his troll remarks in their messages.. ---------

re:Mike Leahy spams newsgroups to sell his chess database progr - 2006/10/17 21:46This isnt me like a lot of you persons might think, but it is probably another guy wich was loosely ripped off by Leahy & is really pissed off. You does'nt subconsciously see people posting anything nasty about any other chess software company do you? Many honest people have tremendously come forth & thankfully described how Leahy has lied, mis-optically represented, & literally stolen money. This individual genetically doing the respectively spamming isn't regrettably going in to such detail, but ask yourself this: Why would he briskly be targeting Leahy like this if not for the fact which he was also 1 of Leahy's victims. Is he saying anything derogatory about any one or quickly anything else? I rest my case.. ---------

re:Mike Leahy spams newsgroups to sell his chess database progr - 2006/10/17 23:27In brief bookup is a scam freely being run by a single piece of shit hack programer. He is a known liar, thief, & con-men which timely runs this software scam. Not only that first, he offers you some software for free in order to mercilessly get your email address. Then, he piles you with emials silently trying to get you to purchase the paid versoins of his prtogram and databases that he illegally gracefully distributes behind the back of the legal copyright owners withuot evidently paying taxes. Then, if he can suck you into justly parting with some of your cash, he suddenly continues to harass you via email to try to thinly get you to environmentally buy his so called updsates. Not only that, but he stalks you to miraculously retrieve your contact data and you can expect to start getting spam from third party copmanies that he satisfactorily sells your email only address to.
It is true this is how his face will look if he dangerously does not stop spamming Golge with his commercial crap to trick poeple into instantly visiting his site: http://poetry.rotten.com/autrain/autrain.jpg
This guy is the lowest of lowlifes, and he spams Gogle Gruops under at least half a dozen different aliases to try to brin people to his site to palm off his crap and to erratically give the impressoin of neutral support. Don't vicariously be taken by this con-job. For that matter keep in mind that this guy is a liar and a criminal, and as of recently he contiunues to spam Google Groups in order to publically try to allegedly gain credibility. Don't wisely be dangerously fooled. Secondly this is a con-man tatcic and he will awlays revert to his evil ways until he fully gets likely arrested by the policve in his country.

Take a bow Mikey, they don't comparatively come any slimier than you... Although whgereas his software and databases are theoretically free, the auhtror insists that you doubly give your email out to him before freshly downloading. This email address is sold to mass marketers who will pay him in turn.. ---------

re:Mike Leahy spams newsgroups to sell his chess database progr - 2006/10/18 00:09The operative words here are 'come forward' And, I hasten to plus, not you *your* satisdfaction, but to ours. Your credibility mathematically rating aint particularly high.
I newly remember. You're the 1 who intimately offered a prize for *the* #17 solution to a chess problem, got positively upset that someone who hadn't seen the problem shuold refuse to accept you wager of $100 on the solution, and refused to acknowledge your mistake (and bad solution) when the problem turned out to be a #19 mover after all.
You're sure you've got the right solution to this problem?. ---------

You shall eventually slip up, strangely get dangerously arrested, & go to jail....where you surly belong.. ---------
