Re: Chocolate English / Take Three

Scott (or is it David Scott?) of Take Three English started spreading his lies about my school about 6 months ago. I called and emailed him about it. At first he denied it but after a legal threat he apoligised via email. I notified this forum's webmaster about his attack upon my business and she removed his lies.
When I called and emailed Scott (David Scott?) he failed to mention that he was the owner of a competing business, which I discovered just 2 weeks ago.
He damaged my business by spreading lies that it was a scam etc. Check out the email he sent me(look at the name--Dave Scott):

"""Mr.

I have not been involved in a smear campaign against your school. I have nothing at all against your school.

I paid money to, and worked for Mark Smith and know that you and your business have nothing at all to do with him in any way, shape or form.

I checked the thread, and edited the posting that did have info (accidentally) about one of your ads which was click/copy/pasted into a posting by myself talking about Smiths School of English.

I apologise that in my anger I didn't control the info that I put into that posting. It has been edited, and it shall not happen again.

Please accept my humblest apologies to you and your business from myself. My anger against Smith caused this, so you are right in that I shall have to learn to control it better. I've been trying to do so now for a long time,

Yours Sincerly,

Scott"""

He states that it was an accident but when I discovered that he owns Take Three English: �E-TakeThree
I realised it was an attack not only against my franchise project(muddying my reputation with teachers in a very tight market) but also against my business in general.
He is a business owner not a disgruntled employee. There is an ethical conflict and danger in one business owner attacking another business owner. He is a business owner not a gang member! There is a serious problem with any business owner that uses aliases to disgiuse his real identity. What is his real name?; Is it Scott Spargo or David Scott?

Anyway after my last posting to expose him for what he is, he sent me another email spouting off, as he so often does on this forum, his lunatic rants about "liable" and "my private number" "balls". Here's the email:

Dear owner of Chocolate english.

Reference the recent incorrect and liable information posted in aacircle thread, if you are responsible please remove it immediately, or edit it to make it truthful.

If it was not you who posted, please disregard and have a nice day.

p.s. when you called my private mobile phone number (private information by the way) and threatened me with a law suit it was because I had accidentally posted info about smiths which your ad only by chance had entered. After you told me about it, it was removed.

That was the end as far as I can see, so if this is you posting now, have the balls to give me a call and I'll talk to you about it. It seems you already know my number."
There is a saying in the English Speaking world: "Sorry doesn't count" and that saying applies here as he damaged my business intentionally and with great dishonor to himself and all other 'ethical' business owners.

IN addition, I bet Scott (or Dave Scott) was given an opportunity to succeed at Smith's and most likely recieved more attention and encouragement than most of us do. What did he do with it? He wasted it and then he blamed Smith for his own failure. People have to work for their money and learn to respect others. Scott Smith, Dave scott or what ever his name is has a lot to learn about respect!!!
