Corsearch is a Cyber Cop Who Acts as a Bounty Hunter to Remove Legitimate Seller Listings

Corsearch is nothing more than a cyber cop who acts as a bounty hunter to remove bona fide listings and legitimate seller listings. Corsearch casts their nets out as far as they can so they can haul in as many listings as they can to remove them. The bounty hunters are usually paid a fee per listing removed or they get a commission on the billed amount or final amount collected. Corsearch and their bounty hunters hide behind abandon disregard: “fair use”, DMCA, Right of First Sale Doctrine, International exhaustion and the Lanham Act. The bounty hunters have a financial incentive to remove listings so they earn income. Corsearch has an incentive to have listings removed so they can pad their billings to their clients. Corsearch employees cheap and unskilled labor to be the bounty hunters and “busy bee”workers. They have little to no experience in trademark law and put forth no effort to vet or perform due diligence prior to removing a listing. 
The cyber cops will always use “we are sorry. It was a mistake. We have retracted the VERO complaint” when a seller produces a contract to them to show privity. 


Corsearch will never admit they are wrong or made an error. Corsearch will point the finger at their client and blame their client for ordering them to remove the listings when you confront Corsearch and demand answers. Corsearch is pretty stupid to think they can claim agency as a defense to get out of their actual execution of the fraudulent removal of seller listings thru VERO. This is the equivalent of a murderer pulling the trigger to kill someone and than blaming the hitman when he gets caught by the police. Both are equally and jointly/severally liable under criminal law.

 

Corsearch does more damage to brands than they do helping brands. Corsearch is a bottom feeder right there with cyber cop “bounty hunters, trademark attorneys, personal injury attorneys, Joel Osteen and family law attorneys. Corsearch has removed bona fide and legitimate seller listings for: HP, HP Ink, Wella, Clairol, Briggs & Stratton, The North Face, and Warner Brothers to name a few. 

Stand up to Corsearch. Demand evidence, proof of a test buy, legal theory and legal case law. Speculative and conclusory allegations will not stand up in court nor will they survive a Motion to Dismiss, Motion for Summary Judgement and you can file a Rule 11 Motion for Sanctions if they try to file a frivolous suite against you. Send 2-3 emails a day. Also email the CEO, CFO and previous CEO. Watch how fast they go crying and running to “daddy”, their outside attorney, when you stand up to them. Corsearch will not give you any evidence, case law or proof. Corsearch’s outside attorney will just give a long letter full of Attorney “**bleep**”, attorney lies and irrelevant case law. Corsearch’s attorney will refuse to answer your questions, will refuse to produce allegations of fact, will refuse to produce evidence and will try to close the “case” and claim the matter is resolved. Attorneys get paid to push paper so gotta fill up 4 pages of paper with useless legalese and avoid admitting the truth or any evidence so they can pad their billings to their clients. $3k-$4k letter to say nothing and leave a dispute unresolved is a big waste of money to me. 

 

I have been ordering Corsearch for 2 months to file a lawsuit against me. Have also ordered Corsearch, Corsearch attorneys and Corsearch C-Level execs to file suit, produce evidence, answer my discovery and evidence questions and get the 192 VERO complaints retracted which they falsely and fraudulently removed from my account thru VERO. Corsearch has been too wimpy to even respond to me or take action and provide evidence and proof of parallel imports. They have refused because they know they have no evidence or case against me when they have not even made a “test buy” from me. 

 

Corsearch targets small sellers and banks on them 100% complying and not resisting the item(s). Corsearch also banks on small, weak and vulnerable sellers not having the financial resources to hire legal counsel and not understanding or having knowledge of trademark law. Corsearch and attorneys have to be stood up to by the lions and the lions need to awaken the other lions. Corsearch is just like trademark attorneys as they try to act all tough and bad until you stand up to them and challenge them. Once you stand up and challenge Corsearch or the trademark attorneys, watch how fast they run and cower down. Trademark bullies and bottom feeders like trademark attorneys, OpSec Security and Corsearch are not used to being challenged. They are used to barking orders and threatening, scaring and intimidating people so they don’t know what to do when they are challenged or stood up to. Just remember, attorneys get paid big bucks to threaten, scare and intimidate people daily. Family law attorneys accomplish this by threatening to take the kids from the other spouse or threatening to make sure the other spouse gets no property. Trademark attorneys threaten people by sending baseless cease and desist letters, filing baseless lawsuits to get you to settle and by threatening to sue you. 99% of these threats never materialize.

 

I’m working on a lawsuit to sue Corsearch and enjoin certain employees of Corsearch. Can’t name them because than they will have my posts removed, under European law, for actually naming them by name and calling out for their behavior. European law doesn’t allow this type of free speech like America. Since Corsearch has offices in various parts of Europe, they can report the posts and have them removed. Corsearch has already reported several of my posts on various forums and gotten them removed. Corsearch doesn’t want the truth to be told about them. Don’t believe me, go read all the negative employee reviews posted on Glassdoor and Indeed. Obviously, Corsearch has to offer incentives and bonuses, like Amazon does, in exchange for insiders and employees to post 5-star reviews to counter the negative.

The statements in this post are based on my experiences personally dealing with Corsearch, trademark bullying attorneys and cyber cop “bounty hunters”. Anyone is free to post a rebuttal or share their opinions.

Corsearch has been doing this for Delta, Brizo, and Masco as well.

 

I just reached out to their client directly.  After all, the client hired Corsearch.  They may not even realize that most of Corsearch's work is just going after individuals who resell 1 or 2 items from customer returns and store liquidations.

 

I would suggest contacting the corporate offices of the brands that hire Corsearch if you're having a hard time with eBay VeRO complaints from Corsearch.

I too am sick of Corsearch.

 

They had 14 of my listings pulled as "trademark infringement" basically saying my goods are counterfiet. I would bet ANYTHING on their authenticity and I will be telling them to put up or shut here in a minute.  A couple of them are items they pulled a couple of years ago that they then had to retract as not being in violation.

 

I think one thing they like to do is wait for someone to list a bunch of new items that were made by one of their clients. Then they swoop in and try to scare you into never listing one again...and if you do reply to them they will try to get you to tell them where you bought what you are selling as they probably get paid more for that info.  I won't be telling them that either. I'm a gray market seller. Sources are life.

 

I will be telling them that I am not stupid and that my entire living is made on ebay. If I am suspended again due to their reckless and fruadulant reporting I will be suing them. I may be an individual seller but I have $$ to take them to court......especially when I know for fact that I will win (I know I will.) The emotional distress of feeling like your livelyhood is being taken away for no reason is probably worth a lot of cash and I want it.

Brand Enforcement companies like Corsearch are highly effective.

 

They do file lawsuits often against several hundred marketplace sellers at a time.

 

There was a thread a week ago by an Ebay seller whose payments were frozen by a court order after a default judgement. He was one of a large number off sellers who were included in this case. And the enforcement co is often amending the same suit to include more sellers. It is costing them peanuts to sue.

 

Corsearch identifies some pretty big brands on their websites as customers.

 

If you are selling retail arb inventory, liquidation stock or inventory acquired other than as an authorized retailer, you are a target, and most targets settle or default because of the costs of mounting a defense.

 

Companies use outfits like Corsearch because they are cheaper than using their in-house attorneys, and very effective.  Do not underestimate the chances of being sued.
