CAUTION: Don't work with Metalicdesigns/ Serverplace NET


@Mods and admins: Please let this thread remain in this forum as it can get maximum exposure to designers here. Thanks.

Just a warning:
Don't work with Metalicdesigns / ServerplaceNET. He's a fraud. He will offer to pay you about $100 or so for a design and then never pay you, when in fact he gets around $1000 per design.

I have experience working with this person. He offered to pay me $100 and now, half a month later, he hasn't paid me anything. I know I should have asked him to pay me before I submitted the design, but he seemed to need it in a real hurry.

One of my friends has allowed me to post a conversation between him and Metalic designs aka ServerplaceNET :

ServerPlace NET: $50?
Khazun0: as I keep saying, atm im swaped with my firm and my staff are getting $100 per site (if you are getting less than 100 dollars for this page then id re-think your strategy) btw-why dont you design yourself?
ServerPlace NET: i'm swamped
ServerPlace NET: lol
ServerPlace NET: with $1000 projects
ServerPlace NET: k
ServerPlace NET: nvm
Khazun0: then why are you paying your designers so little on cheap projects?
ServerPlace NET: nvm
ServerPlace NET: its so easy
ServerPlace NET: thats why
Khazun0: but very time consuming
Session Close (ServerPlace NET): Sat Mar 13 12:25:44 2004


Please don't work with Metalicdesigns, unless you want to be robbed off your work.

Thanks,
-Deathdart

Ok, hey guys, im the Khazun from the convo.

Fortunately I didnt wind up working with him, whether Deathdart's allogations are true or not shall be discovered quite soon, I imagine.

The only thing that made me not wish to work with Metalic is that there was no company site to show me, so for all I knew Metalic Designs was an Alias for one of his other design companies, where we was recieving quadriple for what I got paid for my design, as I was allowed no contact with a client.

But as I said, perhaps its just his mistake. Time will tell.

I'd sent a pm to staff similar to the above minus the log not long ago, didn't have the balls to do it here in case it got me in trouble lol.

I can say he told me some templates were unique a while back... mind you he's said a lot of things so.

Nice warning DD, hopefully nobody round here will get stung by his antics Maybe....

Well, at least Metalicdesigns won't be getting much more of a chance to cheat people on these forums.

EDIT: http://forum.yaxay.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27155 < Look at that too,...

Honestly, i do not like getting into these types of things, because you never know who is behind the screen name, and what powers they might invest... ex: hosting your site, know your pass, ect.

In this caase however, i know him to be a 15 year old, but in our convo about 1 year ago he said he was...18 if i remember correctly. He tried to get me to start a hosting business with him, and immediatly asked me to send him money. I did not however, i just supplied him with a design that i made a while back, because i am very cautious like that.

Over these last couple months, he has started more companies than all of us here. Lets see... metalicdesigns.com, serverplace.net, and a few others, but i cannot think of the. He ALWAYS IM's me and asks if i can do him a favor . Its usually just editing a template that he said one of his "designers" made, but who knows. I usually help him out, but since a month ago when the reports started coming up on him... i stayed far far away.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=23813

I had some convos of our convos, but deleted them alonggg time ago after he started his 5 business. HAHA i kinda figureedc their was something weird about him.

Anyways, this isnt much help, just a lot of stuff to read, but i am telling you... he IS a lier, and please dont get caught up with him.

P.S.
If i get a list of businesses he has currently, hosting, ect, then i will post.

lol. Get a list. There are plenty.

I think that MetalicDesigns is an ALIAS for one of his other firms where he gets more money-as there doesnt seem to be a site.

Lightbulb DeathDart is Right !!!!!!


Don't work with Metalicdesigns / ServerplaceNET. He's a fraud.

I am 100% agree with Deathdart. He is also robbed design of $250 and promise me to pay at the end of this month. But now he is refused to pay that amount.

So Please keep away from him.

his mail id is :sales@serverplace.net
and ravinder61@hotmail.com


beware from him and his chat name is vic

Before this thread started i brought a design fully coded and of course today i am standing empty handed... i paid him 90$ for it and saw no design. Then i preceded to call serverplace.net(the last place he worked) and they said he just got fired so of course they give me a phonenumber to contact him, i call the phone number and its not him, then i call serverplace and ask for it again and find out that its right and not his, now i am stuck w/ no design and no money

I have an idea. How about everyone who has gotten burned by metalicdesigns/serverplace NET get together on the internet and sue his sorry @$$. Is everyone here just going to continue to take this from him? ... Do something. Yall have his IP and email accounts... all you need is to track him down.
