Heads-up to anyone with hubs on jobs, interviewing, employment, etc. I found my hub on interviewing copied (word for word) on a site from Ghana. The site is filled with articles on getting a job, so if you have hubs on related topics, you may want to search (using a clip of text in quotes) and see if it pops up.
Here's the site (with spaces to break up the URL) ht tp://jobhouseghana.com/
Here's the info on who it is registered in Africa:

Thanks for the heads up Marcy. I'll be going out now and searching for copy violations on my articles.

That's good to know. Why can't people do their own writing like the rest of us?????
Because people want to get rich quick without having to work at it. Sometimes they actually put more work into cheating and being cheap than they would if they had just done the honest work. But they like to feel they are getting away with something, smarter than everyone else.
I just found yet another hub copied - sometimes it was spun with phrases woven into garbage content. Not on this topic, but still one of my high-performers.
Thanks for the information. I have not yet found any of my Hubs over there, but will check from time to time.
I'm glad to hear your hubs weren't affected, Patty - those of mine that have been copied have suffered a pretty significant loss in traffic.

There is so much of this going on that it may not be worthwhile to mention. Since I know that this site is not cooperative, I sent my DMCA complaint to Google. My hub is copied word for word with all the lovely photographs and even a link to another similar hub. It probably is my best hub with lots...

This hubber , listed as "Sara Algoe", has posted 34 hubs in the last 7 days. I have tagged at least 4 of them as being copied from other sources on the net. Some of them come from sites where people can access term papers. Would anyone else like to confirm this. I have put the...

Usually I find a couple pieces of stolen article copy on different sites. Today, it's more than enough to make me comment here. HP notifies us, adds the complaint link, and the complaint file cut-paste copy but little else to build a brick wall against content thieves. For every click...

Is there a way to block the ability to Copy articles on Hubpages? Some websites have this, so that when anyone tries to left-click their mouse to Copy, the process is blocked somehow. The reason I ask is because I've had to report one website for the second time in little over a week...

Hi everyone, I had this one suggestion to prevent stolen hubs, how about making hubs cannot be copied by restricting selection using javascript or any script? This is kind a simple script. Or give the authors the ability to add this script to their hubs?Or when someone is copying a hub, a script...
