On May 31, Khloe Cruise contacted me for a reference. I was not familiar with her, so I visited her P411 profile, reviews, and website (http://www.khloecruise.com) before replying to ensure she was a legitimate and reputable provider. When I visited her website, I discovered that she had copy & pasted the text from my own website's "packages" and "FAQ" pages. She has adjusted some minor details (ethnicity, physical description, *some* rates), but the bulk of the text is my own. I replied promptly to her email and requested that she either take down or rewrite in her own words the clearly copyrighted text she had stolen. Additionally, I gave her a positive reference on the client (because I'm awesome like that, haha). In the interest of full disclosure, I did contact the gentleman to let him know that I had given him the good reference he definitely deserves, but that Khloe had stolen some of my work.
Khloe did not reply to my email (not even a thank you for the reference), and she did not amend her mistake. I wrote her again on June 4, letting her know that if she did not comply with my request, I would make a public issue over it. I have still not received a reply, and there remain no changes on her website, so now I'm writing this post.
Clearly, she is able to be contacted, as you can see she's posted an ad on this board within the past 24 hours.
In the grand scheme of things, I recognize this is not the worst provider-on-provider transgression ever committed. However, each of us works so hard to stand out from each other, and part of that is creating websites that portray our own personalities. It's incredibly difficult to present what is standard information in one's own words -- I have put in hundreds of hours into ensuring my site covers all the basics in a clear and concise manner. To have this plagiarized is, admittedly, flattering.

Khloe, will you respond at all now? Even an apology would be nice.
(Edit: I have let her know I posted this here and elsewhere.)
