Verotel Problems

YES, most of you are correct. I over-reacted & now am in a world of hurt. I have had some people recently point out how people were sucking sites down (All content & everything) and then would request REFUNDS so that they would get your content for FREE. This seemed to be the case. I am very quick to react to anything wrong. I switched web hosts last year after 4 days of e-mailing back & forth between OLD web host & Verotel cause the CGI wasnt working properly. After the Web Host couldnt make it right, I quickly signed up with a New Hosting company & moved everything over. Starting with the sites that had Members on them. I also E-Mailed them and told them to contact me direct if they had problems. Fortunately they didnt. I also moved this site over, but it had NO MEMBERS on it. I havent tried to promote it very much as I was working on some other things. Anyway, someone stumbled across it & JOINED (GREAT !!!) the next communication I get that there is a problem, creating the USER-ID. So I quickly go in & MANUALLY set it up. Then 3 days later I get a CREDIT notice about them. So now I am thinking I responded quickly, they SUCKED me dry & now they are trying to get thier $$$$ back. If I had been contacted about any problems, I would have fixed them. They said they contacted me, but I checked my E-Mail server as I have it set to hold 21 days of messages and I find NOTHING other than what I mentioned above. So while I agree I was wrong to over-react, I also feel I should have been contacted & given a chance to correct this.

Also I would like to know if there is something that can prevent someone from sucking all your content down via something like GRAB-A-SITE or WEBWHACKER. I have tried to research this & havent found very much. Any help would be appreciated.
