What's this mike guy look like anyways? Anyone have a pic? I've spent the last hour reading the ripoff reports. I'd like to put a face to the all the drama
My guess is that he's created a new company/email/identity and is still looking for victims. One of his companies is called JAFCO, which stands for Just Another F*cking COmpany. And I bet he's spending some time dealing with disgruntled clients.
Jeff, I didn't have any say over the site look, just the games and backend scripts. He took whatever your ex gave him, handed it off to Christine (who he also screwed out of payment) to make a template, then handed it to me for the actual build. I guess that explains why he couldn't get me photoshop source for the graphics which I needed to properly resize and alter things.
He may have made some money scamming, but he could have made much more by doing the job he claimed to be. He's a shortsighted fool.
Personally as a developer, I love doing the computer work, but I hate the other side of the job. Trying to find new customers and do the business end of it totally sucks to me. If someone else hooks me up with work, they deserve to get a nice cut of the payoff. Fact is, I currently work with quite a few people who do exactly that. They put on a suit and go talk to potential clients while I tap-tap-tap the systems together. They get paid, I get paid, customers get what they want. These guys aren't living in single wide trailers either.
So yeah, Mike made some money scamming, but that's dead end. He's good at shmoozing customers and setting up deals. If he had been honest, he could have gotten pretty rich doing that.
