Hi , all Read this post as a case study and you will come up with more ideas.It may not apply to you, but there are several great ideas to genrate more ideas to fight our battle.

Hey guys, I have got a plan. It is legally not feasible to get the justice. But we can through my awareness programs [ marketing campaign ] protect others from such frauds. I have done a research and came up with this ideas. This will certainly shut down fraud websites such as rentacoder.
As I said , time for action.Friends , Team up , we have to fight this battle on our own. I need your help to help us all.


Marketing Campaign Ideas and Targets :


We have to convey our alert message to as many freelance serller and buyers.

There are locations where they almost always visit.With this strategy we can reach about 10000 coders and buyers in a week.
Frauds often use BBB and square trade seals, second target will be to get those seals removed.


#0 Creation of a website with forums and blogs - Domain name like rentacoder-fraud-alerts.com that will give website a place in first page of google for same keywords that rentacoder uses.If word rentacoder is typed in google search, the second search result will be fraud alert website.



#1.Post as a project on 30 freelance websites about what rentacoder did to them.

Several thousands software buyers and coders will come across those postings.

They will withdraw their deposited money and close account with rentacoder.They will provide testimonials , some of them might be already victims and might be feeling helpless.And many coders will offer services for software development.





#2.Find 50 programmers who are victim of rentacoder. Get their feedback on forum.

A good idea is to see who had arbitrations in profiles and send them a message.

Such coders and buyers will be given complete anonymity , no personal info. will be required to register.



#3.Write articles about rentacoder fraud and publish on 250 articles websites.

This will ensure that 1st result in google for keyword freelance will open rentacoder-freelance-fraud.com.

20 articles will give 5000 backward link , that means high placement in google , not only this, the articles will be there forever and many new visitors will be coming in for many years.



#4.Project funding. The actual cost of developing the website is less than $100.

Web designer bids very low. Victims will donate .and I have got a good software source code for websites with forum.



#5.Tell to all victims that they can report to BBB and square trade with all details.



#6.Forum topic : IF you are a victim of rentacoder, we wil fight for you. Let us know your experience.



#7.Find articles about rentacoder fraud and create archieve .Visitors will be able to download all articles at one place . in a zip. suggest me if it is better to link to original website where article is present, copying may be a copyright violation. though we can copy with permission and give credit and link back.



Marketing Campaign



#8. Publish archieves/articles/posts in

a. Blogs - 1000 blogs would be enough ?

b. Yahoo answers - who is the number one fraud. Answer : rentacoder. see the website rentacoder-fraud-alert.com

c. expertexchange.com

d. codeproject.com - there coders come to find codes

e. business forums - there buyer comes

f. pscode.com

g. 30 most popular source codes website

h. sourceforge.net



Suggest me more. To be effective we need to place articles,testimonials on 10000+ places which are very relevant and highly likely to be found by buyers and sellers.



I prefer to develop and publish downlodable sharewares on shareware websites because they give 250+ PR1-10 links that improves google and search engine rankings as well as good featurs.



#9. A downloadable software that popup desktop alerts when fraud alerts are raised by admin on website.





#10. A chatroom



#11. A browser toolbar like google toolbar that alerts on desktop.



#12. Tell a friend form. Fill 20 email address in form and we will send all of them an email.



#13. software source codes can be published on websites like planet-source-code.com, sourceforge.net ( sf.net ) , codeproject.com. There are 50 more .



#14. The competitors of this frauds who are honest will surely help. A competition research can be done on web.They can fund the project as well as help in several other ways.



#15....
