Monday morning I faxed my VeRO forms to eBay regarding the three reviews of mine that EDson Financial Group plagiarized. Monday night I received an email from eBay asking for more detail concerning the issue. I replied this morning with links to where I’d posted my reviews at Amazon and where EDson posted their stolen copies of them at eBay.
So far, I’ve heard nothing more from eBay and the reviews are still up at eBay.
In my reply with the additional detail, I urged eBay to examine all of this member’s activity, as the issue extends far beyond my three reviews, and has a current count of 223 reviews, all of which appear to be plagiarized.
Meanwhile, more and more bloggers are spreading the word regarding this issue:

Hi, all. got an update for everyone, which I posted on my blog. The EDson group is no longer a registered user on EBay and all the stolen reviews have been taken down. I received an apology in the comments section of my original post on this subject, from a supposed employee of the company and I posted that in my update post as well.
Don't know how or why the reviews finally came down, if it was all this person's doing or not, but good job to all those that spoke out about it and did something.
