Sorry to hear that Kev It's clear he's a scammer, unfortunately. If he wasn't, he'd at least e-mail you telling you that he wouldn't be able to make a payment due to [some reason].

One of them initially was a video site where he used the name c0l0rad0. But, he kept getting hacked...hee hee hee, and he removed the video software and put up some other cheap crap. The other was a similar story and shared the same nameservers as the other at the time.

This shows the dumb*** shouting to the world that this is his site: myphpscripts.net - Free php scripts for web developers




More bread crumbs:

[His typical username and avatar with the title "Welcome To Apex 2009 Software Poker "]
[I attached a screenshot, just in case the cache changes. He is shown as c0l0rad0 and the user named "witness" is his daughter, she always uses that name.]

There is also his Digital Point signature. LOL, he is bad at hide-n-go-seek!

woo, internet is never a safe place, i actually though michael was gonna start paying it back when he made that new account, then his immigrant wife got cancer? BS right there cause she cant get health care in the u.s if shes illegal, theyll deport her like we do in britain....
as for kev, sorry to hear about all this, it was good read (sadly) and has taught the near 20,000 viewers a lesson.
did ever get anything back? i see that the phpl33t account was shut...

Alexe, PHPl33t was a coder that Michael scammed and blackmailed from what I have read. Michael is "c0l0rad0".

RD, most "Michael Mann" results will be for a film director... or producer... I forget which one. I think I saw one of his movies the other day, in fact.

EDIT: Ah, phpl33t was closed for having 2 accounts. Shit happens I guess.

I'll pay you soon......


I heard that one a bunch of times. "I'll pay you today" and then no response or contact for a week. Kev, you will never see anything from mike other than more lies.

And going back a few pages, I did indeed deliver fully functional software. I was told "demo was postponed", "they want something else", "I will pay you soon", etc. Eventually I went directly to the clients who were also pretty pissed off. I finished out the whole site for them. They liked what they got.

Bottom line: Mike Mann is full of shit. You can tell when he's lying because he types stuff.

Actually, folks, I AM NOT in hiding or slipping around or whatever you are calling it. I am wide open and highly visible.

I am in contact with Kevin so that eventually the man stands a chance of getting his money back.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=455069

With my knowledge of the internet it would be easy to dump off my detractors. However, that is not my intention. I am not hiding anything?

And folks - to pick on me by way of my wife who is a Pakistani National is all kinds of wrong. She has not done anyone harm and does not deserve to be called names by any of you so-called righteous people.

I made mistakes and have paid a heavy price for it. In time I will make good what I can. It's all I can do and by no means am I going to hid from anyone.

Regards,
Michael Mann

Michael,
Have you paid anything? Even $1 to kev?

It is good to see you are still around, although the impression I get is that nothing has been paid back (despite this happening over 2 years ago)?

Am just wondering. Your posts seem genuine, hence the questions

Michael has been in contact via Facebook briefly, but as yet, nothing has been paid back. I would like at least some form of payment to show you are serious about paying the balance back Michael

$1000 is a lot of money for a young guy like me when I've got rent, tuition fees and bills to pay, not to mention the upkeep of over 50 high priced cctlds

No. I have not paid Kev back, yet. Since my return to civilian life last May I have worked regular, low paying jobs getting back on my feet. No real money to speak of.

I could make micro payments, but, we are worlds apart and there is no inexpensive way to make micro payments that are cost effective.

Time is letting me get stable, again. The fall of Web Media, my family health problems and my visit to the Fed Camp (for a 1998 Bank Fraud)have all contributed to a very slow recovery.

Not making excuses. Trying to let the fact be known...it's not easy.

While I accept responsibility for this particular deal I have no assets. All I have is a 40 hour a week paycheck. That's not even steady.

My fall was hard and deep. It will take some time to regroup. In the meantime, I will offer small payments if we can come up with a cost effective way to do it. As yuou might imagine, paypal, moneybookers, etc., are not of any help right now. Bank wire costs more than I can send at one time unless I us time to get stable and save up again for my next run at the business world.

Let me know how you want top proceed, Kev. I've never hidden from you.

How about a CC payment? Kev you can just make a button and Michael can pay via CC.
I believe you have a CC, obviously.
Sorry to hear both your stories.

2 Years Brotha,

In jail as well. If you don't have the money, you at least owe it to kev to design him a 1,000 dollar valued site.. I mean you should probably give him the money back as well.

2 years.. I just think thats a long time, to hold 1,000 bucks.

Good luck kev!

Oh man I just read through all 9 pages of this thread at once.

I hope this gets resolved, but I don't know. Any person with a single fiber of moral integrity in themselves would have paid before the deadline, and the telltale signs that he won't put your two year debt ahead of over things as well as his refusal to honor other debts don't bode well.

Best of luck, though. We all have an obligation to make the internet marketplace a honest environment.

Yeah I can easily set up a credit card payment through Google Checkout on my site, which accepts any form of payment.

Also, sending a cheque is an option.

Payment arrangements


Kevin.

As I just posted on Facebook, if you can work the arrangements I offered I can use a prepaid debit card to make what amounts to CC payments via google checkout.

While it may seem like a long time foir this payoff to come it was the best I could do under the circumstances (which don't bear being re-aired).

Checking accounts, traditional forms of CC's and/or paypal, etc., are not an option at this time.
