Sporeworks aware of this?

I just ran across a site that sold cultivation equipment. The first thing I noticed was this site had taken pictures from sporeworks site. Alot of the products offered are also available from sporeworks which leads me to beleive they are reselling sporeworks items. Is sporeworks aware of this? or are they affiliated with your business somehow?
The company is University Sientific and i'm sad to say there seems to be some unhappy customers posting about this company already.

Well, they are sporebank too right?
Initially, they didn't "jack" the photos. They were an authorized Sporeworks reseller, as far as I know. After it became clear that they were at least partial scammers, they were dropped from Sporeworks, but they decided to keep using the images, etc.
At least that's how I remembered it.

I agree, it is sad when these companies rip off good companies and their customers. It is sad that they can not go and get thier own pics as well.

I seen the thing with ralphstersspores. The first time I went looking for his site I came across thiers, but I knew it wasn`t his so I camr back to the board and clicked on his name and got the link from his info page to make sure I got the right place. I can not understand why some people have to be so low as to pull this kind of shit. You know if you need to almost mirror another site because you are not good enought to get your own customers and then from eveything I have read they do not deserve any costomers because they give them a good screwing you should just give up and become a politition, they never seem to care who or how they hurt people either. Just MO. I agree that we should boycot thier asses and spam the hell out of thier site. Go to every porn and warez site you can find and enter thier e-mail address. Hope they have a spam blocker(lol)
