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.

Updates / Reports
These are in no particular order.

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.

I'm done with this thread now unless Shane Bellone drops another bomb, the dumb shills have bored me, which I guess is an indication that they are achieving their objectives.

Ya and today Ron Jackson posts about a domain conference 6 months from now in Europe...

No one has covered this since it came out. NOT A SINGLE BLOGGER

THAT SHOULD CONCERN EVERYONE

You mean no one has covered this topic and/or thread, including Ron Jackson? Is that what you mean? Or do you mean no one has covered the conference 6 months from now?

@Shane Bellone

Keep your blog alive as much as possible, keeping record of all the fraud history. These trolls are making this post so big that anyone coming on here in the future will get discourage and let it pass. Stop feeding these two **** and ignore them like they don't exist.
As I stated before, I will never let this go until Adam pays me back. Everyday I will go further and further

And for all of you DNJournal.com fans out there, you know, the self-proclaimed 'Domain Industry News Magazine.' Go there and see if you see one word about the subject of this thread. Don't hold your breath looking.

If Adam doesn't pay me again this week as promised I will make sure Ron knows.

Well done Michael Cyger...

http://www.domainsherpa.com/tag/adam-dicker/

He and Andrew Alleman are the only ones at taking part in spreading awareness about all this, shame on the rest.
There is nothing listed, how is that spreading the word? If he wanted to spread the word, he would have an article about it up for all to see.

I am not saying he isn't spreading the word in other ways, but deleting all the content from the DS site with Adam in it is damage control and not spreading the word and bringing awareness. He doesn't want the "Guilty By Association" thing to cause reputation damage for himself.

If he or one of the other top industry leaders were to do a nice article/story on the subject, that would go a long way towards bringing awareness and help.

Oh, I suspect Ron already knows. The story just doesn't fit his narrative. 'The Domain Industry News Magazine.' What a joke, IMHO.

Michael did all he could, he isn't the one who posted those Domain Sherpa videos on YouTube. Most of those are posted by Adam Dicker himself.

I believe it's a struggle for the Blogger of the Year to decide to pull out all the @DomainSherpa videos with Adam in them.

Even those reviews and discussions where there were other sherpas in them are deleted as well. And there were good information in there.

I hope there will be no implications for the Goodwill Ambassador of the Year from the advertisers in all those videos. The number of videos removed is no small number.

This is really a question for a judge and jury to answer. When domainers start taking the law into their hands, someone always ends up crying.

I wasn't saying anything about him not doing what he could, just that removing content is not bringing awareness as the member I was replying to had stated.

I'm sure it's a touchy situation for him (Michael) to be in and he's handling it like he thinks is best.

Good luck to everyone that Adam Dicker is processing a refund for - and as has been pointed out here, do not accept any delay because that might push you beyond the chargeback deadline. And at any time a bomb (that is to say shocking news) may drop and Adam Dicker won't be able to pay.

Just an update for people who are concerned at the level of coverage - there really has been some so far:

As well as emptying Adam Dicker's profile page, Domain Sherpa have removed his Reputation Repair page - here is how it looked before:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...a.com/reputation-repair/+&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk

And it gets a warning mention on blackhatprotools.org and on ripoffreport.com.

Not on trustpilot.com yet - nice place to comment for customers.

That is true but for them to decide that a case has to be brought so you need police to take an interest and for police to take an interest sometimes first the press have to take an interest, so people have to come forward, which is what is happening in this thread.

I'd like to thank everyone who has come forward - you deserve compensation and coming forward makes it more obtainable for you and others, and protects people who might think of doing business with Adam Dicker in future.

Pug there's no getting thru to this guy... He's obviously a fake or on payroll, he's not even being rational....

Oh yeah, and you and all others are pretty much rational so far I guess? Some thinking you have there. Calling names such as, bots, shills, on payroll and what not sound rational to you? You said it right, this thread is really helping, helping you and your types here to reflect their egos and target members who don't agree with your thoughts, and who points out where you and your types are doing things wrong. This also shows how much ethics you guys have when commenting on a social platform. No wonder you are supporting an individual who has a history of lies and deceit, but I guess that's a lost cause and you have forgotten about it.

The reason of the thread is obvious now. It WAS helping victims but now it's helping couple of guys like you who prefer to play around with their big egos. Nothing constructive/helping in the last 15 pages of this thread. Wow, is this rational enough for you?

None of what you call 'defending Adam' was ever reflected in any comments and neither were they ever proved by your types here. Simply by saying that 'you are defending Adam' doesn't give much room for understanding and it also shows how short-minded you are when it comes to accepting others' opinions/viewpoints.

I, Frank and few others were trying to point out the way this issue was started and later how it was dealt with. The guys who are talking about Adam were not defending him at all, they were just mentioning their personal experience that went good. But hey, I see it hard for your types to understand and to agree with others, yet you want people to follow you, pretty rational I guess.

I was just reading Shane's Flippa thread and guess what I have found about @PugDomains

(which by the way, I've seen literally nobody say), to the contrary I consider you to be somebody with serious credibility issues, I now wouldn't believe a single word that you say.

Perhaps new domainers should now consider you to the be the last person they should listen to, unless they want misinformation?


Funny how and why he changed his mentality in believing a liar. It raises questions on his personality and being neutral. You think it's rational!

This goes for all of you like-minded screamers here, please keep this thread to the point and help victims. Not everyone will agree with you and your (mostly) hype. Keep name-calling to yourself and if you are so caring for the victims, why don't you hire them a lawyer and do something practical about it. Stop showing off like you really care for them, you're just having a fun time here that's what's helping you. So far, I don't see you guys making any contribution other than bullying few members here behind your computer screen.

Grow up, and move on. This is real world, unless you prefer to do business behind your screen and think you can get away with it. And try to learn and respect others' opinions as well. It will help you in the long run.

@PugDomains I have nothing against you man, just don't agree with your destructive comments here. And yes, they are sort of destructive if you look at them closely.

@umask077 I don't know who you are but you seriously need to learn few things about being a part of the community. So far, all I see is your childish behavior in this whole thread.

Now you may continue to do what you guys were doing. Keep fueling the fire and go about it whatever way you deem 'professional'. And don't forget to dislike my post here.

@equity78 thanks for clearing my existence here for others, I was pretty sure they were thinking of me as a bot.

PS: No one is derailing this thread but you guys only, who are bullying members who doesn't agree with your negative and destructive thinking.

Can we just drop this now?! One guy may have did a few people dirty, so what. Registrars do thousands of people dirty on a daily and folks stay tight lipped.

I'll call this thread the Bill Cosby copy cat. Nobody said a word for loads of time but everyone jumped on the wagon quick in hopes of getting noticed after the initial accusations. How about a 70 page thread about how godaddy and NJ auction off property that they don't own? Most registrars are filthy and folks would rather jump on one guy vs fight the bigger issue. Sad...


Keith, I respect your opinion very much but it is not right to compare registrars with this situation. Do registrars take my money and fail to deliver the service I requested? No. Do they refuse refund when I request it and eligible for? No ...And No.... Registrars do not auction what they dont own...they do what is their... cause unless you renew your domain and keep it like that then you have no rights over it.

So basically, the two scenarios are completely different. One is failing to to deliver the service/product and ignoring refund requests. You see, such comparisons are what is taking the thread off topic :)

Just to clear a few things up, WebInvestments, Frank-Germany and Keith are not fiverrs or anything like that, they have been members long before this thread started. None of them share an IP with Adam Dicker.

Thursday is the busiest day for Namepros for anybody wondering.

Thanks :)

I was starting to think they were the same person... one person with 3 accounts lol.

Yeah, just like I am damn sure that @umask077 and you are same person with two namepros accounts. Ain't it?

I did not say damn sure... I said I thought... there is freaking difference. And no, you won't make me start new discussion. You are very good at diverting discussion :P
