Competitor Sabatoge You?

[Jamin_Mayer]

I can't get into too much past details with this one... But, have you ever felt that a competitor has or is sabataging you?

I have a recent issue that I'll share. All of my uploaded videos are gone off my Youtube account. If someone were to Google Tree Service Longmont you should see my company listed first. If you were to scroll down a ways, you'd also see that I have a Youtube video that used to show up all of the time. I clicked that tonight and it said "This video is no longer available because the uploader has closed their YouTube account."

It is total B.S. because I am able to see my Favorite videos, my subscriptions, my messages, etc... But, my videos are gone.

Is it a Youtube bug? A competitor hacked my account and took off my videos?

Anyone experience sabatoge or a Youtube freak accident like this?

Help needed.

Hey Jamin I just checked what you said about the video on your web page and it is the same for me. Maybe contact YouTube? If it was your competitor and hacked into your account why is he doing tree work?

Seems like he could do some kind of computer work. Sorry just trying to put some light onto your situation. Hope you figure it out.

Good point.

I'm certain I've been tampered with in the past.

I'm not certain it is a competitor at the moment. It is nearly impossible to contact Youtube.

I'm uploading some more videos back on to Youtube now.

 

[Jamin_Mayer]

So, all of my past videos I had (thought I lost) on Youtube are back...

This is weird. Anyone ever have this problem?

The Interdimensional Creatures typically find contentment tieing the odd knot in a rope or snarling throwline...they must be bored and looking for action.

Did you have any music copyright issues? Some of my videos were taken down temporarily for that..

 

[Jamin_Mayer]

No copyright issues, yet.

But, the title of the tread and my temporary resolution to my videos dissaperaring is different.

We can still talk about the topic...

Has any one experienced sabatoge before?

I've only had a competitor tell the property manager that I didn't have the equipment or experience to take care of a job. I've never met the guy. He's an old logger. Drives an hour to an hour and half from Aberdeen, WA, near the coast to work in the Olympia area. I think he was just desperate. It was a low bid job that he was trying to get. With my shorter travel time and equipment available, I would have made my "quota" for the time and expense involved on the job.

About a year ago on TB someone was complaining about cutting the wrong trees in a trailer park. It sounded like the guy who painted or tagged extra trees came on and rubbed it in. I would not find this acceptable. But who knows these guys' history.

I've had things done to me at my biz in Michigan. I've done things too that I deeply regret. Those things caused me far more harm than anyone telling a customer that I didn't have the chops or whatever. I'd NEVER repeat those mistakes and had to make right on 2 occasions. To say they were humbling is a gross understatement but fortunately for me...they accepted and I'm much wiser for it. Anyway Jamin I never really had anyone outright sabbotage my thing like that though.

I know a competitor has been flagging my small barting ad on craigslist. Did a process of elimination over course of a couple week to figure it out. Wasn't really a big deal until 2 customers I lost told me they tried to contact me but the emails were getting blocked because the ad got flagged from the time they clicked on link to my email and time they sent email ( thats how craigslist explained it to me )
