@ Serene-you are welcome!
Do you think the Better Business Bureau or some other body with the same powers could institute a class action against this man on behalf of the wronged writers?
I am a lawyer myself and I know there must be a way this man can be brought down.
Publicity and awareness is one thing but in the UK (where I am based) there are forums against such fraudsters.This man can be brought to his logical tragic end given that all these ex -writers unite and provide evidence.
We should make a plan now but ensure confidentially as i'm sure that creep is reading these forums everyday.All we need now is the help of at least 15 of his ex-writers and then...... we should have him cornered soon...very soon!
Btw I don't think that his real name is Peter Richardson.
Strange how we give our ID documents to people we do not even know exist or know whether these are their real names.I think that the next time some creepy employer asks for proof of our ID we should ask for his or her ID.Even though we freelance writers are often a financially troubled nation and the employer's position is stronger here in terms of making demands at the time of the recruitment I believe we should be more careful.
An important way of tracing Peter Richardson's roots would be to look up the information for the operators of this website,duly referred to in their terms and conditions as Anagram Ltd or Quality Results Ltd.I will leave the rest to WB now as she is much more thorough in her research and detective work.
Remember Peter Richardson is clearly a villain.But that does not make him invincible.
Let's confirm his worst fears and get all the wronged writers to unite.We will contact the IWF and have his domain name and website shut down!
