    Blatantly stole code from our Disable Cart Fragments (Speed Demon) open source WordPress plugin, licensed under the GPL which legally requires attribution, and bundled it into his premium Perfmatters plugin. For several years, has somehow duped both Kinsta web hosting and KeyCDN into letting him turn their company blogs into part of his gray-hat PBN (Private Blog Network) to embed several backlinks to his sales page for Perfmatters, without the legally required FCC disclaimers, apparently without their understanding of what he was doing. Jackson has a history of blatant consumer fraud, previously launching multiple WordPress related blogs with several fake “reviews” of his own products, without any FCC or other form of disclosure that he was the owner and promoter of these products, in classic “Warrior Forum” style. Apparently he’s teaching his ways of fraud to his new protege, Mr. Alex Panagis. Read More

    Alex is a full-time scoundrel on the web. He not only leaves fake reviews of my company around the web, but also submitted illegal DMCA complaints to Google in a failed attempt to get my blog removed from search results. He has plotted with other fraudsters like Brian Jackson to run black hat link exchanges, among other unethical stunts. It's no wonder he teamed up with scammers like Rank Math SEO, who left me death threats after I exposed thousands of fraudulent reviews their SEO team had acquired on wordpress.org and Product Hunt... https://www.littlebizzy.com/directory/alex-panagis A whiny little punk who spams and lies and cheats... a warning to all.

    Dragos publishes dozens of blogs promoting various web hosting companies and WordPress services without any Disclosure or mentions that he is being paid by these companies to promote them. Like many other affiliate shills, he only seems to recommend products that pay him. Read More

    Tom illegally promotes various brands in the WordPress community without any Disclosure that they have paid him for public endorsements. As someone who has been in the industry for many years, he clearly knows better but doesn't care. His partner at WebDevStudios, Brad Williams, also banned me from the ProWordPress subreddit for no reason at the personal request of Samuel "Otto" Wood. These guys are all in bed together with Automattic and others. It's sad that this is considered "making it" in the WordPress community, but it's exactly what it is! Yet another talented guy who sells out... you can do better Tom. Read More

    *The vast majority of people listed in this database are just “normal” business people, therefore no negative connotation is insinuated nor should misdeeds be assumed based on existing in our business directory. Our underlying goal is exposing misdeeds and fraud, but to accomplish this we often must first identity “honest” business people. This is because of things like similar names, impersonation, copyright infringement, and other reasons. Thus, the vast majority of people in our database are not being accused of anything shady. For this reason, profiles are now “noindexed” by default until comments exist on any given profile, since many of them are unnotable.
