Yet another clone site
Yet another clone Site
Luxor's webmasters are not very imaginative when it comes to website names and have a habit of copying those that are already successful and in use. Sometimes this can be useful as it gives double coverage to a problem.
Already there is a clone site of Luxor Eye but this time we are really pleased as it serves the same purpose as Clean Up luxor Campaign and our own Luxor Eye (but as usual has no humour). Below is an extract from the site which calls for naming and shaming. This goes a step beyond this blog and Luxor Eye as we do not name anyone anywhere. Perhaps this clone site is braver than we are? However, we have continually asked that all our readers report all crimes to the police. Sometimes threats make this hard to do but have courage you will get a lot of support.
Although one of the links uses our domain name we can assure you that we have nothing to do with the clone site and should it be sued for misrepresenting people (as it aims to name and shame) then we wish to make clear that we cannot be held responsible in any way.
Egypt is a wonderful place to live and we should respect the laws and keep it the place that it deserves to be.

Welcome to www.LuxorEyes.com
Luxor in Egypt is a haven for many illegal con-artists and fraudulent businesses and charities. The British ex-pats are by far the worst culprits. LuxorEyes keep a very close eye on their activities and reports all offences to the Police and appropriate authorities in Egypt and Britain.
Name ‘em and Shame ‘em!

Unfortunately, this clone site (LuxorEyes) gives a link to another clone site which for six months has conducted an almost daily campaign of lies, threats and extreme abuse of named individuals, their friends, members of their families and charities. All claims on this particular clone site have been studied by the police in Luxor and in the UK and by the Charity Commission. It was dismissed as the ravings of a deranged individual.
This site (www.Little-Stars-Luxor.org) was published by Andrew Phoenix (itself an alias) who has posted the same lies, and abuse under other names on various forums following his dismissal as an employee of the charity. After being found guilty of attempted extortion he brought down the site which he had been paid to construct. If anyone can be bothered to read through the hundreds of pages of abuse and lies on this site they can make their own judgement of Andrew Phoenix and will no doubt come to the same conclusion as the authorities did.
LuxorEyes also gives a link to CleanUpLuxor which is the blog site of one of Andrew’s friends who is yet another deranged individual. This is very disappointing and undermines what could have been a good site.
The originals of all these sites are still the best.
