She disclosed this in a recent post on her blog. Linda who has been blogging since 2007 narrated how cyber squatters are trying relentlessly to bring her blog to a halt .

Like, these Cyber-squatters are not even
playing. All my names have been taken.lol.
Think it's finally time for me to move to my
own domain name (I was scared before
because of hackers) but there's no Linda Ikeji available online. Unknown people have registered everything there is to register. Some as far back as 2007 when I didn't even know what blogging was all about though I was blogging at the time. I got some people to help me look for a lindaikeji domain name yesterday...and everything has been taken. I'm kind of flattered sha, didn't know I was that much of a big deal...lol.
Anyway, I will find one weird LindaIkeji name and let y'all know soon where I am moving to. I don't want to give any of these guys the pleasure of buying those names from them. Secondly, I also think it's time to expand. For almost 8 years it's been mostly me. I think it's time to get more hands to work at LIB. Doing it mostly alone has been fun but it can be quite exhausting. You don't go out much and I practically didn't have a social life. Plus now I can go out more and maybe find a husband before menopause catch me for house where I sit down from morning till night dey blog...lol. I need sex again in my I swear...choi...lol. I'm kinda glad this happened...it's pushed me to want to expand. Will let y'all know. Kisses
She futher mentioned how one @MrAyeDee has been pioneering the movement #bringdownlindaikeji ... In a statement below
So here's what's going on. Sometime last
year, some guys decided it was time to runout me out of business (duh, like you can...lol). So
they began to spam by blog. And when your
blog gets a lot of spam, Google (which hosts my site) can take your blog down. But instead of taking my blog down, Google took my Adsense down for a few months and eventually re-instated it. So they didn't succeed. These same people started sending strange emails to me...looking for different
ways to have access to my blog. But I
wouldn't let them. If they could, they would
have hacked it, but they couldn't so they
continued to look for different ways to attack my blog. Please continue...
In April 2014, these guys decided to close
down the blog again. In the emails they
exchanged back and forth, they said
'plagiarism is a good excuse to finish her'.
(they forget that if they succeed in closing
down LIB because I'm on blogger...I could
easily start a website). Now let me tell you
who these guys are. They are IT people,
security experts who know how the internet
works. They are hackers and cyber-
squatters...and only go after the biggest
internet setups.
Immediately after I shared photos of my new SUV, these guys re-connected again and decided it was finally time to end LIB because there were quite a few people who were mad that I bought the car and they wanted to play
on their emotions. The head of this team is a
guy who goes by the name @MrAyeDee on
twitter. They decided to use the plagiarism
card. He said it was the strongest claim to
make and easiest way to get support from
other people. And then the campaign started
with him claiming that I took something from
him without crediting him or asking for
permission. 100% false. If he owns a website,
I've never visited it. He started by writing all
sorts to get people to notice...and then he
acted. Like I said these guys are IT experts,
they know what to do to get blogger/Google to
come after you. So he and his team started
filling several reports, sending links of my blog
posts and making claims to Google.
Outrageous false claims. And because Google
acts first before they contact the blog owner,
they took down some posts and asked me to
file a counter claim if I felt I had a right to re-
publish those articles. Now that my blog is
under Google review, these guys have started
to spam it again.
They want Google to shut it down. That is
their aim. Will they succeed? I sincerely don't
know. I'm not an IT expert...I know they are
spamming and filing complaints, I don't know
what else they are doing behind the scenes
but they are relentless.
Now let me give you guys a bit who this Aye
Dee guy is. He's anonymous on Twitter.
Nobody really knows who he is but according
to those investigating him, his name is
Emmanuel Efremov simply known as EE by his friends. He's the owner of 15Past8.com media group. Based in Manhattan. Gets funding from some US organization. (His number - 2129608127). He's apparently been stalking me for years now and have registered quite a number of my domain names...lindaikeji.net plus 8 others. He also owns 9jalife.com...yep, he owns a blog. He accuses me of copyright infringement but when you go to 9jalife and other websites he owns...98% of the things he has on there are other people's content. You see pot calling kettle black? Lol. Immediately he was found out yesterday, the IT expert immediately started to redirect
lindaikeji.net to my blog. If you click
lindaikeji.net now, it will redirect you to this blog. He panicked yesterday and quickly did it. A name he register as far back as 2011. Lol. Choi! Not only that, he's also a cyber squatter. Yep, he registers 100s of websites belonging to others around the world and tries to make money off them. Guess one of his aims is to run me out of blogger so I come to him and his team and pay thousands of dollars to get one of the several names he's registered. Not going to happen, boo! Hehe
