A certain person looking for business investors contacted me. He said he got my email address from my website. Upon inquiring the name of the website (X.com) I found I had nothing to do with it. I don't own that company nor have I designed that site! But that person insisted that he got my email address from (X.com).
It turned out that my email address was in fact mentioned on their "contact us" form. Upon further investigation I realized that (X.com) had outsourced their web design to (Y.com) - whose website I had designed a long time ago. (Y.com) had copied bits and pieces of my code without my permission. And if that was not enough they did such a bad job of copying my work that my email address was blatantly exposed for the whole world to see!
I have sent (X.com) a polite email explaining the situation and have asked them to remove my email address from their site. Let's see if they reply. Sigh.
