COMPLAINT & WARNING: Beware!
 

Here are the facts on what "timboss" did to me:

I responded to a post on gfy from this guy (although at the time he called himself "netnut" instead "timboss." He claimed to be willing to design and market an adult paysite and tgp site for me (www.wildteencoeds.com and 4porntgp.com). We agreed upon terms of $3500 per month (to design and do marketing), with $2500 up front, then another $1000 due in 2 weeks.

The contract called for this person to have both sites live within 2 weeks after the contract was signed. As agreed, I sent the first $2500 on December 20th. Even though the person failed to have either site live after 2 weeks, I agreed to go ahead and send the other $1000. This was Monday, January 17th. To this date, neither site has gone live. I heard from him around the very beginning of February, when I sent him another $100, despite the fact that he still had not completed the sites.

The person has not responded to my emails, has not been available on ICQ. Further, after the contract was signed, the person told me that he moved, but did not provide his new address. Additionally, the telephone number that he gave me is not a working number; he gave me a new number (which he [U]claimed was his cell), but that number simply says that it is "disconnected or no longer in service."

In short, I have paid this guy $3600 and have nothing--he has completely disappeared and refuses to respond via email, ICQ or phone (has not provided me with a valid number). On May 19th, he finally responded via ICQ and said that he would return my money. He said that he would send $1800 on Friday of that week and the remaining $1800 the following Friday. As you may guess, he sent absolutely nothing. He did not return the money to me and continues to refuse to respond via ICQ or email. Additionally, he still has not provided a valid telephone number.

At this point, I seem to have no option but to file suit against him (fortunately, I saved copies of all of our email and ICQ correspondence, as well as receipts for all payments). Of course, the other option would be to hire a private eye to locate him so that I may arrange an in-person "meeting" to "discuss" the situation.

Finally, I'm not out to badmouth anyone--I just want to warn all to please be careful with who you deal with. Do not fall for a scam like I did.

so why did you send him more money after 2 weeks? He didn't came through in the first place so why send more?

Sounds good. I'll get my sig spot early

mmmmmm drama

Didn't this happen to someone else a few months ago or is this just a rerun for the summer?

does he post here?

sig spot

what I don't get is why you paid more than twice the value to an unknown designer when you'd have the same by established companies at half the price or even less :(

anyway, bump for you and good luck prosecuting this guy, finally somebody that do something else other than speaking

hey dude hit me up. I'll give you a similar deal and you pay me when I turn the work in

Is this the same Tim that got fired from CMC?

I think so

yeah was just thinking the same, sucks though.

Did you do any research on him before offering him a contract and sending him the money at all?

Anyone asking for that kind of bucks up front is an obvious sucker magnet...

I got a bridge in brooklyn to sell you
ill sell it to you for 5,000$ you can pay me 3500 now and ill collect the rest after I give you the bridge

Oye-yoy-yoy..... another fucker ripping somone off and then disappearing.

Jesus fucking christ it gets sickening after a while.

bodymovin ............ just ICQ me and I will try to help you ........... for free just because I hate this ............ no strings !

Wow... hehe... damn...

I wouldn't do business with anyone that wasn't in my local area for that amount of cash. I also wouldn't give that much upfront. I would have said, $1000 upfront and then $1000 in two weeks if a solid amount of work is finished and $1500 2 weeks later if the sites are up.

You deal basically favored him and put no stops in... Would be like payin an employee their lifes wages upfront and then asking them to work for you for 30 years... Ain't going to happen.

So true...this is like a once a week type thing now :(

That dude popped up in the Sell & Buy-forum here as well,
claiming to have "unlimited hosting" with "unlimited bandwidth"...

Definitely something fishy about whatEVER that guy offers... beware :warning

Bump for your money.

damn, you people all got to start researching people and talking with people who have used these people's services before signing anything and before sending any money.

I don't understand either....

I'm pretty close to posting the names of the individuals who have ripped me off.
