Someone stole $25k from us... need suggestions or help - GoFuckYourself.com

sperbonzo · 03-11-2009, 07:25 AM

It's a design company, and that's all I'm going to say, but anyone have any suggestions? They are UK based.

LauraLee · 03-11-2009, 07:26 AM

That is shitty to hear Michael.

Bump for you in finding some recourse.

Sam Granger · 03-11-2009, 07:27 AM

Lawyer time. Sorry to hear what happened. But how did they do that? Big project? Coding too?

sperbonzo · 03-11-2009, 07:27 AM

Basically, do you have any expertise as to how to get back at them? I would welcome and pay for help with this.

DutchTeenCash · 03-11-2009, 07:27 AM

DarkJedi · 03-11-2009, 07:32 AM

posting the company name / url would be a start

how did they stole from you? you paid 25k in advance (LOL?) and they didn't deliver?

nation-x · 03-11-2009, 07:34 AM

Holy Crap! $25k must have been one helluva design order.

DutchTeenCash · 03-11-2009, 07:36 AM

Im thinkin non disclosure that went wrong aka alike the Facebook deal?

HorseShit · 03-11-2009, 07:36 AM

good luck

sperbonzo · 03-11-2009, 07:38 AM

Unfortunately, It was really our fault. I had hired them to do a job for $4k about in Oct 08. They really didn't do the job, but whatever. Unfortunately I have had the experience before of paying up front for work that doesn't get done.

In any case, about a month later, I was wiring $25k to a processor in the EU. I was rushed as I was leaving that day for a show and I grabbed the wrong template. The money was sent instead to this design firm. I didn't realize it until several days later.

When we contacted them they promised to send the money back. They still haven't up to now.

I don't think that lawyers will be much help here... I need more underhanded and painful ways to get to these guys.

Anyone?

p.s. Go ahead and call me an idiot, I call myself one all the time about this.

.

DarkJedi · 03-11-2009, 07:41 AM

contact the bank and ask them to reverse the transfer.

stuff like this happens, if you are with a decent bank, they should help

thunder99 · 03-11-2009, 07:45 AM

Are they a registered business in the UK? If so write a letter and send it registered post to their registered office.

Give them a week or two to respond, if they don't get a UK lawyer to write to them.

Be polite, but firm.... you did make the mistake, but I'm pretty sure they do have to return the money once the mistake has been pointed out to them. Might be an idea to offer them 1k or something to cover their bank fee's and time.

Another option might be to sell the debt, don't know much about that but might be worth looking into.

sperbonzo · 03-11-2009, 07:46 AM

why wait, call your bank manager explain and if the designer says fuck you issue a court order to have their account frozen

seriously this cannot be true or youre way way too laid back

Antonio · 03-11-2009, 08:11 AM

Looks like you're feeding us some bullcrap, you sent the money by wire? Well, tehn call your bank to call their bank, then not call the police in the UK, if you have to call your police as well, how fucking difficult is that?

What do you think the GFYers are going to help with?

Oh, shit, I get it - you want ME to collect for you? No problem, for %10 I'll shoot them with my laser mouse and get your cash back.

Our merchants and processors are all still getting paid on time, nothing was missed. I have contacted the banks on both ends and have been told that there is nothing that can be done.

You guys apparently took this the wrong way. I wasn't talking about anything physical, or illegal. I was talking about trying to find some way to at least be annoying to these fuckers. In the end I will probably have to go to their offices the next time I'm over there and make a stink, but in the meantime I was looking for suggestions for ways to be a pain in their asses.
