I mean, literally, word-for-word, just changing out my company name. Testimonials he previously had on his site were testimonials from clients of my company! He just put a fake author name and book to actual testimonial.

Unbelievably, he also had listed on his LinkedIn profile that he had worked for me for 10 years — I of course had never heard of him.

I had a pointed conversation with a woman who identified herself as “Vice President” of the Albee Agency. Since that conversation, much — but not all — of the website content he stole from my company website has been removed, and he removed his fake employment with my company from LinkedIn. I do have many screenshots of the content he previously used.
