What We Are Investigating?

Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Ecom Brothers over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.

We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.

The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Ecom Brothers - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.

In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.

What are they trying to censor

Ecom Brothers, self-proclaimed teenage e-commerce prodigies, have captivated audiences with tales of overnight success and lavish lifestyles. Their narrative is compelling: starting online businesses at 15, achieving financial freedom, and now offering to share their secrets through a €1,500 course. However, a closer examination reveals a pattern of questionable practices and potential exploitation.

A Glamorous Facade

The Ecom Brothers’ online presence is meticulously curated, showcasing luxury cars, exotic vacations, and upscale accommodations. This portrayal serves as a powerful marketing tool, enticing young aspirants with the promise of similar success. Their courses claim to teach dropshipping—a legitimate business model when executed ethically. However, the reality appears to diverge from the polished image they present.

The Cost of Aspiration

The brothers offer a five-part course priced at €1,500, promising to impart their e-commerce knowledge. While investing in education is commendable, the exorbitant fee raises concerns, especially considering their target audience comprises impressionable youths. Moreover, the course content reportedly includes information readily available online for free, casting doubt on its value proposition.

Questionable Practices

Investigations reveal that the Ecom Brothers’ business model heavily relies on affiliate marketing and upselling additional services, rather than genuine e-commerce success. Their emphasis on recruiting new course participants mirrors characteristics of pyramid schemes, where income is generated primarily through recruitment rather than product sales. Such structures are unsustainable and often lead to financial losses for those at the bottom tier.Ahmedabad Mirror

Censorship and Control

Criticism of the Ecom Brothers is often met with swift censorship. Negative comments on their social media platforms are reportedly deleted, and dissenting voices are blocked. This suppression of feedback creates an echo chamber, preventing potential customers from accessing balanced perspectives. Transparency and open dialogue are essential in any legitimate business, and the absence thereof is concerning.

A Call for Due Diligence

Aspiring entrepreneurs must exercise caution and conduct thorough research before investing in such courses. Scrutinizing the credibility of the instructors, seeking independent reviews, and comparing alternative educational resources can prevent potential exploitation. Regulatory bodies should also monitor such operations to ensure compliance with consumer protection laws.

Conclusion

The Ecom Brothers’ story serves as a cautionary tale about the allure of quick success and the importance of critical thinking. While their narrative is enticing, the underlying practices raise red flags. In the digital age, where information is abundant, skepticism and due diligence are vital tools in navigating the complex landscape of online entrepreneurship.

How This Was Done

The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original

What Happens Next?

Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
