List of scammers
 

Hey,
I know that the old school board members always perform a search on the forum when they are about to make some business with a new guy.
However I have seen quite a lot scammer alerts lately.
Wouldn't it be better to have a centralized thread where we could out scammers (and link to the scam alert to avoid people just posting names to damage their reputation)?

I reckon this would make it easier for everyone don't you think? :2 cents:

I like this idea.

There are tons of them...

Brandon Kagey (PHPGhost) on this board along with his various other alias on this board (Mystique,etc..). Took me for 8K on design/programming work a few months ago. He also ripped off a few other GFYers for few thousands each also.

He's the biggest scammer GFY as his total haul: $15K (from the 4 of us)

There should be a public google document which could be seen by anyone but could be edited by only a few. It should contain all the scammers, with proofs, and the document should be linked in the forum FAQ. :2 cents:

Here's my list of scammers so far
--> Webmaster scammers & blacklist :disgust :mad:

goodfucking grief. that's a list. :thumbsup:2 cents:

Ya man, and there's about 50 more people, sponsors, usernames etc that are "on deck" to go on the list. :Oh crap

NOt sure how up to date this is but still FreeOnes Hall of Shame - Scammers, Thiefs and Low Lifes!

Yea that fucker took us on some dough :disgust

Here is one Marlboroack aka Brandon Ackerman

Here is the website Brandon Ackerman From Adult Content licensing Is a Huge Scammer there are a few links to the scam post on GFY listed on the website,

I steal people's ... hearts.

You are a gentleman and as scholar :thumbsup

be careful, without proof this kind of list is libel

Can we get a paypal scum bag list ? People who get what they pay for and request there money back.

Always weasels in the woodpile when it comes to money

Sometimes I feel like GFY is the small claims court of the adult webmaster world. It's like our own reality court TV show where we're all the judge in the court of public opinion. I think the new guy is onto something. Maybe start a list in another section and watch it grow.

Good & important post, I really believe in transparency,...

True, that's why I said one should always link to the main thread. This should only be a place to list all scammers, not a place to out them.
Edit: I just saw that I used the words "out them" in the initial post.
What I meant was list them, I believe it is important to out them on a specific thread to give the guy a chance to justify himself.

It's not libel if you're stating facts. If Person A rips you off and you go online to bash them, it's not libel. He said he was going to do X and didn't deliver, but kept your money. Now if you say Person A fucks underage boys and beats his wife...now that's libel. And most libel suits lose because it's hard to distinguish between opinion and fact. You can avoid any libel suit by simply saying, "In my opinion Person A is a..." -- and they can't sue since it's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. Freedom of speech, bitches! :thumbsup

I was taken to court years ago because of a website I put up that was the name of the company + sucks.com. It was theircompanysucks.com - and I optimized it so it showed up in every search result for their company's services. I called the owner a piece of shit, a liar, etc. He sued for libel and lost because I established proof that he ripped me off, and I also wrote a small disclaimer that no one until the court case probably read, that said everything on the site was my opinion. It did cost me a pretty steep fee in legal bills that I'll never be able to recoup, unless I counter-sue, and that is just another headache waiting to happen.

I hope this helps. Crooks shouldn't be able to hide behind the legal system. :321GFY

I agree with the op.. There should be even a whole section here on GFY dedicated to this subject.
There is a section for "Content Theft and You" so adding a "Scammers list" beside it can be very helpful

I believe suing someone for libel is expensive, doubt if any scammers have enough money to even contemplate the idea.

It also needs the accused to prove he delivered the goods. Assuming the person scammed scammed can prove he sent money.

Just went through jscott and freeones lists... sad thing is.. i bet i could find multiple threads for more than half those sponsors listed where people are saying what great guys and great programs these all were.

:thumbsup - I was honestly thinking the exact same thing.

PeteKT from SatanCash used to post here a lot, I actually designed his business cards for him when he first started SatanCash. I recall quite a few people saying he was a "stand up guy".

Jscott great list you have. I'm going to reach out to you with screen caps etc. regarding someone who just ripped us off here. Keep up the good work!

Getting scammed for any amount sucks but 15k is far from the biggest scammers on GFY. :2 cents:

Sponsor list?

Thanks man, sure if you hit me up, and i do have documentation still with any of those that have scammed me, i will find and get it to you :thumbsup

Ya, i have a list of sponsors also, i try to keep it updated, but there are soooooooooooo many dying out these days :Oh crap

you will not find hard drive big enough for list. sorry to say but have luck

Oh i see what you mean, the title says "sponsor list", i still have to make a "blacklist" header button for that page, oops hehe :error

Good idea!
