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.

 

[Mr. Deleted]

25,000 of mostly .ca crap.

Seriously?

Thanks for the post and the highlighting! I didn't realize he owned a few of the domains on the list, including some that weren't highlighted.

I'm also surprised he let "suckywebsites.com" and "askdippyhead.com" drop. Personally, I would have thought either of them would have been the perfect corporate umbrella name for him to operated under. (Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa... Good Lord, I should have been a comedian!)

But seriously, aside from a select few in that list, it sure made me feel better about my own domain selections. From this point forward, whenever I start to question my domain picking abilities, I'll be sure to revisit this list... LOL

Ps. By the way, how current is/was that list?

I got it a several month ago, and then a few month later I ran the list through mrdeleted.com to check if any were dropped, and some had been, so I put them on the one side. That is only a fraction of the 25,000 claimed above, though, and I think some were sold or went to privacy.

Read a story on this thread, and it reminded me of exactly a similar person I know.

I am not here to Judge anyone, but I can tell you the exact current situation of that person.

I will try to put in it in a short story and how things changed.

About the person, cant name him but lets call him abc - Intelligent, great speaker, makes friends quickly, he knows how to show people big dreams, cuz he knows their weakness. So, what did he do? He showed big dreams, asked people to work for him, slowly started underpaying them, critisizing them. What happened to people confidence - Shattered.

People actually thought its their fault.

Time passed by, this guy, had to leave his hometown, cuz he eventually made blunders. Then changed his name and started all over again. Again he became successful in a short time. Made friends quickly and this time he was even more successful. I can say he started doing a turnover of around 50 Million USD annually. But his basic instincts took over, he became greedier. Nature had to bring him to great heights, so, the fall can be painful. Market came down, govt policies changed, he started to come under pressure. Became more desperate.

Now on, this is what you may call slow and painful death. His industries started to run into losses, then bigger losses and more losses. What did he do, he again ran away from that town too taking banks and market money.

But this time things were a little different in new town. Hes not that young and energetic as he had developed bad habits leading to bad health. He tried to start many new businesses, he failed in everything, hes been constantly making losses. Started taking out his frustation on his wife and kids. Eventually, they have also left him. Hes weak. Doesnt eat for days. Last 3 years in his life are like - You say what can they be like. Hes still alive, but barely living.

I apologise If I had unintentionally hurt anyones feeling by this story. But, this is a 100% true story of a person I had known for a long time.

Life comes around in circles, noone can escape past karmas, we are what we have chosen to be, noone else is responsible. I am sorry for people who have suffered.

But I can suggest, learn and move on.

God Bless.

Not going to protect anybody, but I can only call out who I had a business relationship with who try to screw me. I did warn people about Rick Latona, Rob Monster, Chief Patrick, (they were not doing what they saying they were going to do) and voiced my opinion about what Adam Dicker did with conflict of interest on bidding on auction domains when he worked at Godaddy. Although I have no proof, but be careful of certain domain brokers who act like there buying names from you for there clients but in fact buying the names for themselves. That is a big conflict of interest.

This is in fact still going on at godaddy ,in the past way back ,I hand registered 4 domain names ,that I am sure a huge company is going to want one day ,id say two of them will be worth 50k to 100k ,the others compliment them but have a lot less value and the company would not be interested ,anyway on the 25 day mark when there are open for bidding in the expiring auctions ,the two with low value get listed there and the two valuable ones are nowhere to be found, I see this often ,I see it a lot with 4l chinese premiums ,is there no compliance going on in these now public companies.

[Charley]

Is he still active?

 

[Mr. Deleted]

Charley, he re-opened his site, and said at the time that the reason it was down, was that people were contacting his children to harass them about his business. Which is not cool, no matter what you think of him, the family should be off limits.

There was no proof that people did harass his kids. He was trying to turn everything around to make him look innocent, it wouldn't surprise me if he just made that up.

This is getting stupid now ,end this thread.

Maybe. Who knows. But at any rate, I think we can all move on at this point.

This is getting stupid now ,end this thread.

Agreed.

He still owes money to a lot of people, may try to do more dubious "business", may be under investigation by several authorities, and hasn't yet ended up in court or in prison. And just possibly still owns a few valuable domains.

So this thread has a long way to go yet.

Is he active on any groups, forums, etc?

DNF is his site. Why are you asking if he is active?

 

[Bob Decker]

In the last few months Adam has promised to send me a check for a full refund. He has done this a dozen times! He texts me and talks on the phone and sounds so sincere. He does this knowing my 91 year old Mom is checking the mail daily. He has no regard for humanity. For him to talk of his family getting harassed is a joke. He has ruined many families. He is devoid of any empathy and Karma will be catching up to him.

If a con artist has gone into hiding, and now has re-emerged to continue conning people in this business then this is the most important thread on this entire forum.

Was it you that mentioned before that his son was also asking you for additional payments?

 

[carob]

Are you still a moderator on that site?

 

[Mr. Deleted]

If a can artist has gone into hiding, and now has re-emerged to continue conning people in this business then this is the most important thread on this entire forum.

What is a can artist?

 

[Mr. Deleted]

Are you still a moderator on that site?

No, I was told I was to be paid for helping, but it never happened. One year of work, and no pay - at 12 month, that would be about 2400. But I moved on. It is not worth that much that I can not work for a while and make the cash back.

 

[HeyNow]

This is getting stupid now ,end this thread.

No. It's not stupid, and the thread should remain open in perpetuity until true, meaningful resolution. It should remain open in the event new participants here have anything relevant to add.

You can "end this thread" for yourself by not venturing here anymore, but don't speak for others with that nonsensical suggestion. What's "getting stupid" are comments like yours.

 

[Kingslayer]

Personally I hate this thread title, when you type Adam Dickers name into Google all you read is ‘criminal’ along with other names that could destroy a man’s identity.

I don’t know Adam Dicker and I’ve not really read too much into the story, but to label a man ‘a criminal’ without this man being charged with a criminal offense on said story is just 1 big witch hunt and doesn’t sit well with me at all.

That’s all I’m going to say on the matter.
