People can post whatever they want to post but that's the reality

Sarah started a thread looking for him, with drama in tone, then you started this thread a few hours later, max. So she contacted him with poor response before you started this thread?

Did this all really happen yesterday? On a Friday? I don't know where this guy is from but his English isn't the greatest, he's possibly European... yesterday afternoon North American time was late night European Time. You gave a fair amount of response time, right?

Dirty F 07-21-2007 02:50 PM

So skidmark is even lying about you changing the icq logs??

Jesus, that guy just doesnt stop...

Seriously, has anybody ever seen anything similar like this on gfy? Its truly insane whats happening here.

And in the meantime skill no fucking excuse, nothing. Just skidmark bashing everyone.

if you want to keep writing LIES do it.
I don't care. I even posted teh screen captures of the ICQ history.

I would love to post that icq conversation we had about a year ago where you were looking for new businesses to get into and I gave you some great solid ideas of what you could have done. I guess you will call me out on that one too huh, but I'm sure we both remember that conversation.

I don't know why you are such a mad and nasty person, i guess the years of grinding it out without having any major successes have turned you into what you are.

A GFY troll.

DH

what are you attacking franck for? he is doing nothing more than pointing out what happened. he is not spinning or changing the facts in any way. what does what you posted about him have to do with this thread?

Take note you people out there who may be about to experience drama of your own.... pull a clue out of your ass and make sure you are 100% certain of the facts before running to the boards where you will make yourselves look unprofessional and, well, dumb.


:D


Yeah, if he has concrete proof it is OK to out them publically.

CDSmith 07-21-2007 02:53 PM

So in looking at the screencaps of the ICQ's that were just posted, it appears DH that you put up the "LOOK OUT FOR THIS THIEVING PROGRAM" threads yesterday, July 20th,

but only contacted the guy today, the 21st.


Is that correct?


If so it's not looking good for your case, or for your question about why the guy has been "confrontational"

I'd be a lot more than confrontational with you if you came at me that way, trust me.

Blah blah skidmark, shall i quote the people here who said something like "i wont do business with that company"? I can tell you its more people than there are people who ever refused my business.

And all this in 1 day compared to all my years online. Once again, congrats. Quite an achievement.

Think about it for a minute.

We contacted him before anything was on GFY.

and thats a shame, because all it was taken would be a sincere apology and a promise to learn and move on that would fix 90% of it. in my opinion, positions like that cost more in other peoples respect than they gain in retaining ones pride

That makes it right? What about all webmasters who glanced at GFY today... saw and read your post.. and then didn't stick around long enough to see that you were completely wrong. Maybe by the next time they come onto gfy the post won't be at the top anymore, and they will just always be thinking that their program is a fraud. ?

so that NO affilate can use them. that will end most new programs

You are siding with your 'bro' so that is no big surprise but handing over private info is illegal without a subpoena. If this is such a pressing issue why have Visa or the police not been contacted. Do it the right way and you will get results.

PS - your brotocracy, if it continues to act like this, thinking it is above everyone else and can do as it pleases, will be a thing of the past.

tmc_producer 07-21-2007 03:00 PM

When I have read that he was going to apologize I told to me well at least finally he found that he was wrong..

But when I have read that the ICQ logs were not the real ones... well.. I don't know hwo do you say that in english. But my arms falled on teh ground. To say that I felt like if an asteroid landed on my head. Increadible.

Maybe even the screen captures are fakes?!?!

Typical of Mark, who should now be seen as a skidmark on the underpants of this industry. You really are a lying, scummy piece of shit. And your wife is too. Both of which have been proven in this thread...I'm just pointing it out. :winkwink:

The program owner despite the icq logs he posted (which were altered BTW) was a complete dick to us. All we wanted to do was track down the affiliate/or him that defrauded of us of $16,000 in ad spots he would not help us in the slightest.

Why would someone buy spots with no referral code?

Why out of the hundreds if not thousands of programs out there choose THIS particular one?

Why would the program owner so be difficult and confrontational to deal with? Why would he not jump to help us find the guy if he knew someone was trying to hurt his program/brand.

Look I am a big enough man to apologize if I'm in the wrong, but if you're in our position everything was leading to this guy. He at the end of the day should work with us to find out who the affiliate is that is doing this.

Candyflip, what's up with the "cunt" remark to my wife? How fucking old are you anyways? I'm going to ask the GFY admins to ban you for that, that's just ridiculous.

Franck you sure seem to love to bash our company, any chance you get you just jump on the bandwagon. Can't you spend your time doing more spamming or whatever it is that you do that brings in 2 joins a day? LOL!

DH


Getting scammed sucks. But nothing for nothing, but you should be appreciative that through all of this you found a new way to protect yourself and business from future scams. This won't be the last time it will happen. I'd send WiredGuy a fruit basket or something.


Any new information or proof to shed on the issue?

Your brief answers aren't helping either. You might include whether or not you gave the guy enough time to respond, and if there was any accusation to your tone with him early-on.

It's none of my business of course, but since you chose to take it to the board it becomes everyone's business, no? Just making sure we're clear on that so no one can later say I'm sticking my nose in where it doesn't belong. :D

I'm really just trying to help sort this out and get at the truth. My next question to you is, can you not see or understand how the guy might get his back up at you even a little? And it does appear that even if you did contact him, it was still before you knew all the facts you know now that you went ahead and hit the boards with this drama.

I know it's $16k, but isn't the most important thing in these instances to figure out who the actual thief is rather than hang the person or company that only appears guilty?

I'd be a lot more than confrontational with you if you came at me that way, trust me.

according to the browser language tmc is italien - so it was probably already the 21st. over there while it was still the 20th in canada

i think people should keep in mind that the world does not evolve around their local place.

this thread (http://www.gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/753140-teenmegacash-contact-urgent.html) shows that it was created half an hour before midnight italien time - and 2 hours later (http://www.gfy.com/12791573-post3.html) "shit hits the fan" - which was exactly 1:17 am.

i mean - honestly - without wanting to get involved - this can't work. especially when also no one in this business is forced to have gfy open 24/7

If the guy did fraud you, you can blast him as much as you like.. But common sense tells you that you better be damn sure what you are going to do.


He was a lot nicer than I would have been, I wouldn't have stood for that for a second and the words that would have followed would show you my true side of being an utter asshole. I would have made your wife cry.

Fraud by this guy or not, you took the wrong approach.. you should learn from this experience but previous history proves that isn't going to happen.


And post jump.. Why bash Franck? He does something, earns at least something.. Enough for me, I don't care if you make $100 or $1m, your just another Webmaster trying to earn a dime. And don't you just own a traffic broker service? I mean, that isn't really the top dog thing in all honesty.

Evil E 07-21-2007 03:17 PM

One of the best threads in a while. I'm glad I stumbled upon it.

GTS came off as complete technical clueless rude scumbags. I hope they get a few clues from WiredGuy or hire someone who has the skills to figure out what happened next time before threatening someone randomly with a mafia-esque attitude over the Internet.

I'm pretty sure that if a GTS competitor shows up in the next couple of months, a lot of people would be willing to give them a try.
