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.

 

[Jen-Sin]

Haha. How convenient.

"I don't owe you anything." In your own words, Adam don't owe you anything either.

This only shows how much both of you had to hide when questioned. Totally unreliable and not credible.

I don't want to see the community hooked by people who are not objective and have hidden agendas, hiding under an anonymous nickname.

 

[Domain Truth]

So because I disliked a couple of your comments and disagree with your stance, I owe you my identity or else am totally unreliable and not credible? Check yourself. The only agenda here is to prevent this from ever happening again. Ever. Not to sympathize with the perpetrator or sidetrack the topic. You are a nobody. My comments stand on their own.

 

[Jeff Markus]

Unreal in a thread dedicated to people trying to get their money back you still have fools standing up for the guy.

Jen-sin don't take advice from a guy that can't even make a 3 person payrol. Do yourself a favor and forget what you've seen its all just sound bites and regurgitated advice from things he's read. It's all part of the scam.

Take the blinders off. It's time.

you are definetely mistaken

you are very right

His contributions to the domaining community are giving bogus advice to newbies to hand register domains so he can push his "development" services to.and to filter out newbies that are in a weak financial position so he can recruit them as cheap labor for his pet projects.

do you have proof?
how much insider knowledge do you have?

who are you?

No I think we need another 10-20 people to come forward before we can confirm this Adam Dicker is a scam. Lol

I would think of AD is very knowledgeable in regards to domain value
I bet nobody has ever wasted money he paid for his domain evalution

may we agree on :
its better to be a little more precise - when condemning
and if somebody is accused - maybe proof is a good idea?

Adam Dicker has the most insane valuations ever. Might as well use Estibot.

Adam Dicker asking people to contact him after they post claims is NOT sign of proof? He's not Santa Claus giving out free money he's paying people back money he scammed them and trying to go off record any chance he can.

Considering many here have viewed your portfolios which contain several ™ infringements I would have to disagree with you on the "Wasted Money" portion of your post.

 

[HeyNow]

Too bad about that. Personally, I prefer the TRUTH and don't care about the motivation of the messenger. "Hidden agendas," and being "not objective" have nothing to do with the validity of the argument or data. What you're saying is that you don't want to hear the TRUTH from selfish people, but hearing BS from well-behaved weenies is more palatable. Do you see the flaw in your logic?

What was that he used to say all the time...? "They are all businesses in a box" hahaha

 

[Jeff Markus]

It's odd that almost no other bloggers are covering this. Xyz sells a domain for 100 bucks and you'll see 5 posts about it and another 10 reposting. Yet on domaining.com NOTHING.

Guess they don't want to see Adam pull his ads like he bullied DomainSherpa with

I get the very distinct impression that most of the bloggers and the big shots just want this to go away because it only brings bad press to the domain industry. Another crook exposed in the domaining world just doesn't help you when you're trying to sell another domain for $50K.

 

[HeyNow]

I don't think we've all seen the end of this controversy. Major-league domain players, like Rick Schwartz, have said wonderful things about Adam Dicker in the past, and that makes me wonder about his savvy. Yes, I know he has a great portfolio and lots of success selling and buying. After all, he was probably around when .coms were only reg'd by Network Solutions and a registrant had to fill out a piece of paper and mail it back to Netsol. But all that has little to do with whether or not he's known the truth about Dicker all along.

Considering his lack of participation here, and the lack of participation by others of that caliber, I wonder if they just don't know this thread exists, perhaps were unaware of Dicker's shortcomings, perhaps see nothing wrong with Dicker's brand of behavior, or perhaps are just laying low to see how it all shakes out.

Let's wake them up and get them to chime in. Then perhaps we'll know more about the puppet masters holding the strings.

 

[SirDrago]

my portfolio is here: [removed]

If you reference to "experience" is in monetary value...
I've been Domaining for approximately 11 years with a Net of mid xx,xxx per year totaling just above mid xxx,xxx to date.
That's on domains alone. If you want me to include Android apps, real-estate and Brick and Mortar that figure changes dramatically.

I wasn't judging your Domains I was merely stating that you haven't learned as much as you pretend too. IMO

no I haven't learned as much as I prefered to

 

[Jeff Markus]

That's true but Adam was a go to guy for every domain conference made. He was a great bullshitter and could hold a room. It's not like he was busy actually delivering on any of the things he preached.

Anyone actually come forward as a happy client with a REAL site built by him???

The developer of the year without a single website example. Because everyone making shitty little mini sites insists they all sign NDAs rather then get free promotion. Ya right.

I can see the concern people associated with him Berkins, Cyger, Rick and others want this to go away but I think they'd do themselves a great service by saying they don't condone Adam Dickers behavior and make sure they are not interlinked with that bottom feeder.

I just saw a video Adam did on ShoeMoney.com where he said Niche Websites does about 1,200 websites per month. I am in no way defending Adam but if this company really does 1,200 websites per month then you are bound to have a small percentage of unhappy customers. Not trying to fuel the fire but it is a piece of information that may help put things in perspective. Maybe he said the 1,200 website comment just to make himself look like a big shot but if it's a real number then of course you would have some that aren't happy and want their money back.

[Jeff Markus]

I think it's been clearly been established Adam doesn't do what we says he does. Please don't repost his bs figures any place without verification of them.

 

[HeyNow]

But we should not forget this man's contributions as well.

I've forgotten them. Please remind me by listing his contributions:

We're waiting.

Have you had any experience building websites? Do you know how much time does it take to build a REAL website? It takes months... That number is BS just like everything he says.

Note: By real, I mean quality websites.
