News - Index - Bogus Callers - 6th November 2004

Statement from Lyneham Village Online Web Designer

Local residents and businesses should be made aware that a bogus website has been launched in this village claiming to be the 1st and Lyneham's Official website. The author may target you in an effort to make you believe that it is official.

We have received numerous, concerned e-mail, regarding this other site, that has highlighted that the person or persons involved have been recorded to uplift caveat protected material and images from this Lyneham Village Online website, and then stake claim on the other site..

You may recall in our village forum that a member has been deliberately compromising the terms and conditions and posting offensive, harassing, foul language and destroying material elsewhere on this website. The member has been blocked from using the forum on numerous occasions. Following our prohibition, the author has decided to post malicious and totally untrue statements against the webmaster and other members of this site.. on his website.

Lyneham Village Online website www.lynehamvillage.com must make it quite clear and categorically state, that we have no association or links with this other site in any way.. We can not be held responsible for the inaccurate, offensive and damaging material, including images that appear on site.

We stress and confirm that any endorsement or accreditation on this Lyneham Village Online website is totally genuine and authentic. We have questioned the author of the other site for clarification to the claims of official and recognised by the parish council and received confirmation from the author that the claims were placed for self endorsement Quote "regards using 'official' and approved by the council etc., that is just to give the site more clout. You and I both know they are invalid, but other's don't. Self endorsement if you like" .. The integrity of Lyneham Village Online site is 100% and hyperlinks are available to clarify the accreditation's awarded here.

To claim Lyneham's Official website status has to be ratified by authorities, and even this multi-award winning accredited site can not duly post that claim, yet. Even though we are now experiencing over 5000 hits per day we have proved to be a reputable site, that has recently be approved as Internet Content Rating Safe for Families and Children.. An accreditation that we are proud to hold and maintain.

We have been online since 19th January 2002, and have grown from strength to strength, being notably recognised in major media forms both locally, nationally and internationally. We are very privileged to have a bonding rapport with the media, including the Gazette & Herald, Evening Advertiser, Wiltshire Times, Chippenham News, BBC Radio Swindon, BBC Radio Wiltshire, Wiltshire's GWR, Local MPs and Councillor's, Wiltshire County Council, North Wiltshire District Council, and Lyneham and Bradenstoke Parish Council. Royal Air Force Lyneham station personnel are closely linked to this site for the information that it provides..

You may notice that we have not mentioned the other website address, for a very good reason.. We can not associate with the type of material displayed or style of authorship. We must point out that if the site was creditable, we would value competition and competition can be a good thing..

Thank you very much for you time and I hope this clears any ambiguity in the community.. Please continue to enjoy the material that Lyneham Village Online provides, an approved Internet Content Rated site, as safe for families and children.. and Lyneham's definitive village website.
