I just might have been cheated again

Things had been going really good until about 5 weeks ago. Sales were increasing and it was looking real good. Then, Bam! I have no clue what went on. I have not had 1 sale in 5 weeks. Its like the sky fell.

At this time I have well over 50 blogs and web sites. I have written more than 150 articles, and as many ads. I just have a feeling that someone, somehow, has stolen my affiliate info. I just don't know.

About 5-6 weeks ago I received an email from another online marketer, telling me that I had taken part of his article and added it to one of mine. I don't do that kind of stuff. When I went to check it out, sure enough, at the very beginning of my original article, was part of his article.

The crazy thing was that his article had nothing to do with mine. The content was so different, and now it started my article in the middle of a sentence. It didn't even make sense to the rest of my content.

I still have no idea how his content could have gotten mixed into mine, on a totally different subject. I contacted the directory, Ezinearticles, and told them about it. The strange thing is that they never replied to my email. And that was the first time they didn't reply.

Now when I submit an article to them, it takes them more than 2 weeks before they review it, and before this they reviewed all my articles within 4-5 days. So, now I'm lost as to what to do about this.

So remember, when things look like your getting somewhere, the scammers on the Internet can once again bring you to your knees. To me there is no other explanation, but the fact someone is stealing from me all the hard work I've been putting in.

Be careful of what you do online, because I'm proof that you never know when someone will get you where it hurts.
