Default WARNING......BOOKUP is a scam being run by a single, out-of-work, hack programmer who is a known con-artist that makes posts here under many aliases! BEWARE!!

Clear Day
Mike leahy is a chronic liar, con-artist that did not honor his advertised money back guarantee with at least one person (one person that I know of for sure, probably many others). He continues to tell lies in this newsgroup to try to continue his scam.

The guy has litterally stolen money from someone I know personally as he attempted to take Leahy up on his advertised "money back guarantee". He sent the software back buy Leahy did not give him one dime back.




FACTS:
"BOOKUP" is a scam being run by a single, out-of-work, hack programmer! Mike Leahy is a known liar, thief, and con-man that runs this software scam involving something called "BOOKUP". First, he offers you some software for free in order to get your email address. Then, he plies you with emails trying to get you to purchase his paid versions of the program. Then, if he can suck you into parting with some of your cash, he continues to harass you via email to try to get you to buy his so called "enhancements". Not only that, but you can expect to start getting spam from third party companies that Leahy sells your email address to.

This guy Leahy is the lowest of lowlifes, and he makes postings in this newsgroup under at least half a dozen different aliases to try to give the impression of "neutral" support. Don't be taken by this con-job. If you want good chess software that has been professionally made, stick to reputable companies such as Chessbase, Mattel, Convekta, etc. Chessbase 8 does litterally EVERYTHING that bookup does and much much more.

Keep in mind this guy is crafty, and as of recently, he has toned down the spamming in order to try to gain credibility. I have even tested him with a couple of email addresses. Don't be fooled though. This is a con-man tactic and he will quickly revert to his old ways in short order.

Do not be fooled by the liars: Mike Leahy (or his numerous aliases) or the
trolls of the newsgroup that like to stir up trouble by posting lies and
flames merely to harass and annoy. The facts are the facts, plain and
simple.

Nah idiot. I am just posting facts. If you have a problem with someone
posting true facts, you can leave this newsgroup and never return. Spam and
off-topic postings would go down about 10% if you did.

I hold that it is bad as far as we are concerned if a person, a political
party, an army or a school is not attacked by the enemy, for in that case it
would definitely mean that we have sunk to the level of the enemy. It is
good if we are attacked by the enemy, since it proves that we have drawn a
clear line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves. It is still
better if the enemy attacks us wildly and paints us as utterly black and
without a single virtue; it demonstrates that we have not only drawn a clear
line of demarcation between the enemy and ourselves but achieved a great
deal in our work.

More hilarity. All one has to do is scroll up the group to see your
repeated posts. Links to porn? That's Jason! The same stuff again and
again? Jason's cornered the market there, too.

Wrong again idiot. You are just a pathetic little punkass troll with nothing
better to do than to harass legitimate newsgroup posters such as myself.
Learn how to spell *hilarity*, and learn what porn is kiddo.
