landmannnn Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I guess most of you know KAM. Their uprated axles for LR and Suzuki are heavily advertised and accordoing to their ads they seem to be selling well.(I haven't any personal experience of their product). If you type in www.kamdiffs.com you get to their website. It's a good site actually. If however you type www.kamdiffs.co.uk by mistake it takes you somewhere else....................... Quote
davidlandy Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I didnt think that the company in question even sold this product , maybe wrong tho. Quote
Thon Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Hmmm Yes, it does look a little underhand. From my experience in domain purchasing, I believe KAM could seek arbitration and could claim the .co.uk domain as they are a UK company and obviously have a more legitimate claim to it. Of course, the best thing to have done by KAM was to purchase both the .co.uk and .com domains in the first place. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though ... Quote

vinyljunkie Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 A little cheeky !! although they are supposed to be a one of their UK distributers so surely they must have asked permision to do it. but wouldn't surprise me if they didn't Quote

FridgeFreezer Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 I'm sure KAM and Staun would be interested to hear about this, and the nominet rules about malicious domain registration... Quote
Gromit Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 However, have a look at this!http://www.scorpion-racing.info/ Brilliant. I wonder who set that up. Both sites set up by the same person: Registrant Name:I.P.Freely Quote
Ryan Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Registrant Name:I.P.Freely There used to be a teacher at my old school who was I P Upward Quote
Troddenmasses Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 I wonder who set that up. Both sites set up by the same person:Registrant Name:I.P.Freely A name or two spring to mind - perhaps it was really J Y Kelly. Fantastic. Quote
T1G UP Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 There a very aggresive company aren't they? Love the links Si Tesco's did it to Waitrose over there acado delivery service recently We've got 20 domain names for our lot just in case! Quote
merc basher Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Just to set the record straight. Scorpion Racing are not a distributor of Staun products or a distributor of Maxi-Drive. All official distributors for staun products in the UK are on their site www.staunproducts.com Outback Import are the European distributors for both of the above brands. Quote

Hello Merc Basher and welcome are you an official importer or suplier of Staun and Maxi-drive? if so, has anyone told them what the company involved are up to? Quote
merc basher Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Hello Merc Basher and welcome are you an official importer or suplier of Staun and Maxi-drive? if so, has anyone told them what the company involved are up to? Yes I'm Chris and I represent Outback Import in the UK and look after most their European network. The companies concerned including Kams are aware but really have better things to do than to worry about somebody who is quite obviously on self destruct mode. How many bridges can you burn! Quote
JSG Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Nice one Si. I do recall that Staun had blasted Scrapiron on the website a while back for ripping them off. Quote

Another case of underhand dealing but I'm not surprised. As Chris says how much longer can this go on? I look forward to the day we see the back of what is a thoroughly unpleasant company. More importantly, I.P. Freely has brightened up my day Quote
JimAttrill Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 I just wish they would make Wikipedia a bit quicker. I now tend to use other resources as I get fed up waiting. Though I did find the article pointed to by scrapiron-racing to be quite interesting once I got there. Quote
