I just looked at the site and there is nothing to be seen or sold that was Yoriko's. Maybe when she decided to close her business, she site name became free or she sold it. Looks as if they are still working on the functions of the site.
Is it possible that she let her payment lapse for the site? Often people will jump on a lapsed payment and pay for it themselves if it had a lot of traffic.
Yes, They want a site with lots of traffic. It happened to my husband. It was a blog site of his and he let the subscription lapse and someone took it over to sell game tickets.
I hope this can be sorted without too much stress. I noticed this a couple of weeks ago but thought Yoriko may have sold her site to someone else. I never thought for a moment anything like this. She may be able to have it removed on the basis of copyright infringement.
Thanx for the Heads Up! I will be on the Lookout! Hugs, Judy...
Thanks so much for ringing me today and letting me know about this dreadful event. I pray that Yoriko gets the person who has done this. Looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks. Love Chris
this is a despicable act, hope it can be resolved quickly. Thanks for letting us know.
I am so sorry to hear this. Some people just can't help themselves. Thanks for the warning. Hope whoever it is can be shut down and fined heavily. Yoriko's designs were so beautiful. Hugs
I just went to look and the site is there but nothing works it seems as though it is frozen.
Hope the Web people can shut it down.
Maybe someone has sold the site without her knowing.
Not what she needs to be worrying about while so ill.
I hate it when this happens. Makes me angry and upset. Does this mean that we need to avoid the "My Garden Embroidery Design" website since it has been "taken over"?
I am so sorry to hear this. I wonder if he/she was a member at some point. How else could they have downloaded the designs. This makes me sad. I am praying for a miracle in her life. Thank you for the information
Thank you for the warning. I just love Yoriko and her designs and would have ordered if I had come across this. I would have thought someone was running it for Yoriko. Prayers continue for her.
OMG......it just never ends with this corruption.......thanks for the heads up Meg........
Vicki, the terrible thing is, it even opens using the mygardened bookmarks everyone has already saved.
It is so very upsetting for Yoriko and it makes me furious how some people can have no principles whatsoever.
Gosh, that is terrifying what a smart hacker/thief can do....no one is safe ..... it is unspeakable to do this especially when the victim is fighting for her life!
