I just looked in my honeypot log and it says that at Fri May 27 slashdot.org host 66.35.250.15 probed me on ports 444, 3127,3128, 6588 and 1026. Can this be right?

As of May 2005 bequik's two domains, aroundgame.com and grabinfo.com, are hosted at ThePlanet.com. Their phone number is 214.782.7800. The DNS entries contain(ed) blatantly false information with nonexistent addresses and phone numbers.

bequik may once have one of my servers with an IP address of 68.147.128.3 which resolved to S010600062596ed29.cg.shawcable.net.

bequik posted copyrighted material on the site grabinfo.com which was the property of ecom24.com. He did this without the owners' permission.

Neil Morgan of ecom24.com ordered the hosting provider to remove the infringing material and it was removed promptly. Neil Morgan has also contacted Rentacoder, although Rentacoder refuses to ackowledge this fact.

bequik hires hapless coders to develop an autoresponder or affiliate tracker and then always manages not to pay somehow. In at least one case he used his site grabinfo.com to ferry ecom24.com's script as a basis to work from. The coder has asserted that bequik misled him regarding bequik's right to share this code.

On Rentacoder bequik claims to be named Tatiana and to be located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with an email address qwqw80@hotmail.com.

bequik has two buyer security verifications on Rentacoder.

Rentacoder acknowledges that bequik once had two accounts there, bequik and equik, contrary to policy. The equik account has been removed.

bequik has a lengthy history of arbitrations which can be found here . He has never been ruled against. From personal experience this has nothing to do with a case's merits.

It's not just me. OT: RentACoder owner is an asshole

Some evidence relevant to bequik/eqik's Autoresponder project on Rentacoder, and the infringement of ecom24.com's copyright that was involved on bequik's part. I didn't violate the copyright myself, but having that code involved taints my work. There's a lot more I could say, but others hold copyright on the evidence, and I prefer to lead with the evidence when I talk about such matters. So I can't really tell the whole story just yet.
