Have you already seen the evidence of the Safabyte scam? That was just the beginning. We have much more to show you!
ComponentForge’s (aka Safabyte) company blog has some very interesting posts. It looks very familiar to me. Especially the posts which were written by a Rebex employee and published on blog.rebex.net. Safabyte just shortened, reworded and republished them on their website.
Would you like to see some examples? Here is the first one:
· Compare the folowing posts: HOWTO: Registering SFTP and FTP/SSL for use in SSIS package (Rebex) and Registering NetXtreme components for use in SSIS Script Task in SQL Server DTS (ComponentForge/Safabyte)
· Rebex:
-
- Add new Script Task
- Modify the script via the "Desing script" in "Properties dialog". The Visual Studio for Applications IDE pops up.
- Add reference to the dlls in the Project Explorer window. The SFTP and FTP/SSL components should be listed in the Add Reference dialog now.
- Add the code to connect, transfer files or do whatever you want as described in SFTP and FTP/SSL tutorials.
- Adding the references for the SSIS Script Component (used in data flow task) is similar.
· Safabyte:
o Add new Script Task
o Modify the script via the "Design Script" in "Properties dialog". The Visual Studio for Applications IDE pops up.
o Add reference to the dlls in the Project Explorer window. The SFTP and FTP/SSL components should be listed in the Add Reference dialog now.
o Add the code to connect, transfer files or do whatever you want as described in SFTP and FTP/SSL tutorials.
o Adding the references for the SSIS Script Component (used in data flow task) is similar.
· Identical wording.
· Amusingly, they forgot to change the component name. FTP/SSL is the name of a Rebex product, ComponentForge actually calls their forged versions NetXtreme FTP and NetXtreme SSH FTP (instead of SFTP).
· Screenshots are attached – blog.componentforge.net will most likely disappear soon.
