It happened to me before and I managed to resolve it though it wasn't pleasant to have to have a ding-dong match with an Irish bozo who laughed at me for being stupid enough to have a Creative Commons License. (I changed the kind of license.)
Now it's happened again. This is the blog and although I haven't checked very far back, every single post I've put up here has appeared there. Other bloggers from elsewhere are getting ripped off too. And none of their work is being credited to them.
This post will no doubt be swept up and put there too, which is why I'm writing it!!!
I only discovered by accident this time that my posts were appearing elsewhere since his blog is hidden from Technorati. I strongly advise other bloggers to do regular checks by googling keywords from their posts.
Update :
A response from Tushar Mathur ... who says he is not the person stealing from my blog, but a victim too :

Hi Sharon,
This is Tushar Mathur.
The website http:goodpfbooks.com is NOT my site.Tushar Mathur Nother Update :
A few months ago I was approached by the owner of that site via email asking for a link exchange. I agreed to that.
Now I see that he doesn't even have my link anymore. So I have also removed his link from my blog.
I have also sent him an email about removing your content.
Can I please request you to remove your post about me? Since its not true.
I'm a credible Personal Finance blogger and well respected.
My content gets stolen all the time. But now I have put mechanisms in place so that every post automatically gets my website link and copyright info.
Many big Financial companies contact me to review their products.
Thanks for listening,
The owners of the Book Lovers Guide blog have realised that their work is being scraped by the same person. (Thanks Chet for spotting this.)
