  Hi there

  There is a website with my content, but different URL:

  Original: http://bakerangel.com

  Questionable: http://q.dfh8.asia/news.php?url=bW9jLmxlZ25hcmVrYWIvL0EzJXB0dGg=

  Thanks and regards

  Hi,

  That appears to be a spammer of some type trying to gain pageviews by using your content. There is no danger to your site or your visitors.

  Looking up the site, dfh8.asia, you can contact their hosting company to report their unauthorized usage of your content.

  They’re using a Google service to generate that site. You can submit a DMCA notice (the formal name for a copyright-related takedown request) via this form: https://support.google.com/legal/contact/lr_dmca?product=appengine

  In the request, please indicate http://q.dfh8.asia/news.php?url=bW9jLmxlZ25hcmVrYWIvL0EzJXB0dGg= as the where the alleged content is at and give the full link to the post that they are “borrowing” the content from (e.g. http://bakerangel.com/2013/11/15/marzipanstollen/ ).

  Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else. Thanks!
