Web Sheriff is an elite rip-off company that spams content owned by others by claiming their clients own it. They have very few clients who are reputable, although they claim otherwise. It's association with the UK is equal to that of the Nigerian Scam artist and nothing more. They solicit youtube and ask for copyrighted material to be removed without having any legal authority to do so.

Web Sheriff claims to be an internet policing company based in the United Kingdom, to acts against media copyright violation by websites, privacy violations, domain name squatting, and illegal websites by sending "take-down" notices or so they claim. They have only been in business for 2 years and are not effective and are destructive to others people's intellectual property rights.

Dear RoR Readers (& Everyone),

 

This is simply to confirm / inform you that the (defamatory) information contained in the relevant ‘report’ was simply lifted by the author from a bogus / malicious entry on Wikipedia ... .. this bogus entry / misinformation (known on Wiki as “vandalism”) has already been removed from Wikipedia – not by Web Sheriff but by Wiki editors – and suitable, legal action is being taken by us against those responsible (the person who posted the vandalism having already been suspended by Wikipedia).

 

Similarly, legal action shall now also be taken against the supposed ‘author’ on RoR and, potentially, against RoR itself for failing – in our view – to enforce their own Terms & Conditions / Acceptable Use Policy by failing to remove false entries, even where the relevant entries / reports (eg. that we have only been around for 2 years and are similar to a “ ... Nigerian scam ... “) are clearly bogus and maliciously motivated. Fyi, Web Sheriff has been in business for nearly a decade and all of its clients from the worlds of Music, Film, Showbiz and beyond provide Web Sheriff with letters-of-authority to act on their behalf.   

 

Many thanks for noting the above / the true facts and, meanwhile, this post / rebuttal is written without prejudice to the accumulated, worldwide rights and remedies of Web Sheriff to take further, legal action against both the supposed author of this ‘report’ and, of course, against RipOffReport itself – all of which rights remain reserved in full.

 

With Thanks & Regards,

 

WEB SHERIFF
