Is Adam Dicker a criminal? You decide.

[S-B]

This story starts with DNF; a barren wasteland that once was a leading forum within the domain industry. While the forum itself played a huge role in propagating the myth that is Adam Dicker, the story really begins with DNF College in the summer of 2011.

From what I understand, Adam still owes north of $33,000 to previous customers and business partners. As I receive more information, I will update this figure.

Actually my preference would have been that this had ended hours ago with a simple "Sorry, I was wrong. The FBI can handle this complaint." Not sure why all this effort was necessary to avoid that. Anyway, I agree that this is a waste of time so let's get back on track.

I did state that hours ago!

"Yes, people can complain to the FBI if they want".

But for some strange reason you won't leave me alone and think I owe you an apology.

Yes, time is limited, please stop wasting it.

You think I decided by myself not to release part 2?

This isn't about me and it's a complicated situation.

Just leave it alone.

I am not saying that you do that now.
But if you didn't intend to, you shouldn't have promised it here in the first place.
Isn't this one of the issues this thread is about: Overpromising and under delivering?

Anyway, I was just letting you know it would affect you negatively in the end.

You're absolutely right. I'm dying for the affection of an Internet forum.

Excuse me while I cry myself to sleep.

I publicly stated on Monday morning I would pick my gf up from work, an appointment I had ran late that day so my mother ended up having to drive my gf to my house and drop her off. I guess I should have never told anyone I would pick her up since it wasnt my intention.......orrr do things change sometimes based on unexpected circumstances which in this case would be Adam putting more effort into repaying debts than maybe Shane originally expected?

On topic, Spoke to Ben and we are talking privately now.

You misunderstood. Please look at my earlier post, my last one on page 47.
I myself agree therein that Adam repaying his debts is a good thing.
The line you quote above was meant only for Shane.
There was no need for him to state that there was a Part #2 scheduled for Friday, he could have simply published it or trashed it when it came to that. That's all I am saying.

More than anything, this has clearly damaged the reputations of many Canadians.

This is what I previously thought was the WORST of Canada.

Has there been a press coverage, local or federal?

 

[kish224]

lynch mob adam,,,,really? Stop being dramatic. You really should be in jail. You do not put a known thief back in a position to steal again without consequences. Your getting off pretty well my friend. People go away for a long time for things like this. We both know your going to do something like this again. You actually did it a couple of times in the past before this. WAIT FOR IT.....your underhanded lol

So you've never heard of Rob Ford? :D

 

[D. Wells]

The FBI could come and arrest Adam Dicker and they would if enough US Citizens came forward. Believe it or not, there are many federal crimes Dicker committed with the most serious being Wire Fraud. There's an agreement between the US and Canada called, "Beyond The Border."

I have personal knowledge that a lot of the Inner circle members didn't sign a NDA as Adam has alluded to. Adam wont be able to do anything to Lanny B as he thinks has has what he doesn't.

Let's just hope he just sticks to buying and selling domains and doesn't hook a lot of domain newbies into buying websites for their domains with promises that they will make thousands of dollars.

The thread should also stay open... This is to keep Adam accountable if he continues to create bad websites for those he is selling them to.

Adam Dicker has never been a domainer... He once got lucky selling a couple of big names but that's about it.His business model is much different from that of buying and selling names in a consistent way, 90%+ of his earnings come from the advertisement on DNF and from ripping off newbies through NicheWebsites. He's a salesman, a marketer. Take the newbies out of the equation and guess what... he would be sleeping under the bridge. He is like those trading gurus selling their systems, courses... promising the sky. If you can really make a living out of the markets, why would you be loosing your time selling books,courses... ?The same applies to domaining and every other aspect in life. It takes one episode of DomainSherpa, just one, to know that this guy is a fake, just as stated by this member right here...

let me be clear here,
i am a doer and can follow a process, and usually improve any process to make it more efficient(i was a technology project leader at Microsoft Europe)

when i joined DNF, i read all the articles written by Adam D. about how to acquire domains and sell them using software.
I applied theses process to domains i owned, with zero results.
i always found weird the advices and valuation Adam Dicker gave on podcast review of portfolio on Domainsherpa, sometimes Adam was completelly off, and claming that junk could sell for 15k to 40k.
the automated software that he recommend to collect prospects emails and contact infos, usually stop to work real quick and are full of bugs.

Adam Dicker make good money using his forum, and his fake Guru persona. He is no guru, he is a fake who give very bad advices to novices and misguide people just to make a quick cash.

pretty much what i thought about him for some times,
he is the typical "make money online guru"; making a living with forums subscription, advertising & affiliates program

Nichewebsites is a bad joke played to inexperienced people, who have no clue what it take to create a website and get some decent traffic.

The offense has to involve 10 or more victims and total more than $5,000.

as far as a domainer,
Adam Dicker own 2,476 domains, not as big as he pretend

Almost the same number of UDRP cases he's been involved in... he's got the full pack!!

[Puckerhuddle]

Any good lawyer would advise their client to mitigate any damages as quick as possible and before any civil action or criminal investigation is underway. This not only lowers the possible number complaints but may also be viewed favourably by the court should any proceedings be brought forth. This does not legally exonerate the person from what they have done, but may influence the severity of any judgements from the courts.

"If you’re not up to date on your technology who’s who, that is Marissa Mayer the CEO of Yahoo whose picture is used above the name Jordana Smith. I’m not sure she would appreciate her likeness being used here."

Classic.

The redhead named Carol Johnstone is a stock image

I guess Adam doesn't know about Google image search..

Oh boy, this is epic. Now there would be charges of impersonation as well, I am begining to wonder how many more layers still remain to be peeled off Adam.

@Raindrops how do you about the redhead being a stock image? Any link?

Yes. I've known about this but it was irrelevant. Funny though.
