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.

the guy doesn't hasn't been charged with an offense on this, therefore doesn't have a criminal record on this, so is Adam Dicker a criminal? I say no.

An astronomically small percentage of online scammers are ever convicted of being a criminal, yet they are scamming honest people out of their hard-earned money every minute of every day. Does that mean they're not criminals? Spoiler: They are criminals.

When you commit a crime, you are a criminal. Whether you've been convicted in a court of law is an entirely different story. Let's not confuse the two!

The majority of online scams hide behind VPN's/fake names//fake bank accounts and cannot be tracked.

The man in question in this thread, people know who he is/know what he looks like. If he's committed a criminal act on various people around the world, including the United States (which I'm guessing where he's from) why hasn't he been prosecuted?

 

[carob]

why hasn't he been prosecuted?

Good question. Once again, part of the answer is read the thread. He is Canadian and in Canada but years ago the Canadian Mounted Police did charge him with a different crime so he is known to them.

With online fraud there is a lack of law enforcement action, apparently below a certain $ threshold they are not interested, so possible each individual loss here is below the threshold, but collectively the total is thought to be over $100,000.

People on here have said in many cases pursuing a cross-border lawsuit costs more than its worth, but they have reported him to the authorities.

Wouldn't surprise me if in the end what gets him is tax evasion.

By the way, the FBI did issue a circular saying the mugshot removal schemes he was involved in were "extortion." Their words, not mine.

 

[ResoluteDomains]

Ok, this thread title is 'is Adam Dicker a criminal? YOU decide'

My opinion is he is not, as he done wrong? Maybe. Should people be warned? Yes.

But as for the thread title, the guy doesn't hasn't been charged with an offense on this, therefore doesn't have a criminal record on this, so is Adam Dicker a criminal? I say no.

Sorry if some people don't like my opinion, but since this thread invites opinions whether he is or not, I've given mine.

"My opinion is he is not, as he done wrong? Maybe. "

Your opinion? Is that the same low-information opinion developed from not wanting to read from the first post to the last post of this thread; the not concerned, and the not interested stance you took earlier.

You actually seem quite concerned and interested in this subject for someone who doesnt even know where he lives.

"Maybe"?

Thats an insult to anyone who has been defrauded by him. Learn about empathy. People are telling you that he wronged them out of money, some of them have not yet been repaid, and you still say maybe. But.......... you didnt read all of the posts, so......

"Ok, this thread title is 'is Adam Dicker a criminal? YOU decide'"
"But as for the thread title, the guy doesn't hasn't been charged with an offense on this, therefore doesn't have a criminal record on this"

READ the title again. What part of the definition of "IS", the first word in the title, do you not understand? ASKING if he is, is NOT accusing. Its ASKING.

What part of the title is charging him? If the thread title was wrong in any way, violated the terms of this forum in any way - it would have been changed by now. No one is saying he HAS a criminal record, yet........ thats what we're all waiting for. Many folks have done their part and informed the proper authorities and financial institutions. The case isnt closed yet. That is why the title still ASKS the question and doesnt state one way or the other IF he is. It ASKS.

But then you change your tune.........

"Sorry if some people don't like my opinion, but since this thread invites opinions whether he is or not, I've given mine"

Uhhhh - yeaaaaaaaaa, the thread invites OPINIONS but it also invited those who were defrauded a place to share their stories and it exists to be read, all of it. Otherwise you subject yourself to more silly statements of defense and opinions.

I have an idea, why dont you offer him some of your hard earned cash so that he can build you a web site or sell that domain name for you because he knows how to "negotiate much better than you" and "can get you a lot more than what you were offered on the inbound offer".. And when you lose your money to him you can come back here and add your experience to the thread.

Hopefully the next person can not be interested in reading it, not be concerned with it all and not be interested BUT have that opinion ready to go!

There it is again - the problem with not reading the entire thread of posts from the start. You do not even know where he lives.

Do24,

This is a legit FB site by Dicker? Who in their right mind would post such quotes? To show further callousness? It has to be a bogus site, no?

 

[HeyNow]

The term smug comes to mind here.

Not bogus

 

[Dadster]

Then he is indeed one smug schmuck. His last name is quite appropriate to his character.

So small update:

Adam has continued operating his services and has been defrauding people of their money. He agrees to provide a service, fails to perform the work, and subsequently neglects to refund money owed. It sounds like this individual will be pursuing legal action. If anyone wants to corroborate his story to show it's a habitual act then please get in touch. We can finally see a legal conclusion to this story.

I thought my part in this saga was over but now it looks like I will be updating this thread.

I hope you'll all remember who was holding Adam Dicker in high esteem through 2015, including DNJournal.com and the characters who produce, patronize, and sponsor those silly domainer conventions which, IMHO, evidently turned out to be a stage for at least one snake-oil salesman to separate suckers from their money.

I'm really sorry to hear this is still happening, but it's good something will be done.

Just want to highlight again that people should report this to payment processors such as Paypal, Stripe, credit cards, banks. If you cut off his ability to make payments he can't do "business".

Law enforcement could buy something from him then pursue him for fraud if he fails to deliver.

 

[RU]

Is this story true or false?

 

[S-B]

Is this story true or false?

Appears to be true.

The person who's been defrauded is looking for individuals to cooperate with the investigation. If you are still interested in seeking justice please get in touch.

 

[Dadster]

Shane,
Are there websites were he is promising to develop these sites or offer services? Can you please furnish any urls you know of?

I'm not entirely sure. I was told that he was referred by a colleague. He didn't mention finding him online. Will update once I have permission to post specifics.

Hah. You caught the tatter.

 

[Bob Decker]

Adam will try to bait you into threatening him so he can turn the legal tables against you.
This is why he makes false promises.

 

[doc24]

All of you that have been taken advantage of should report it here
http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/adam-...000-for-claimed-web-services-that-wer-1329701
There is only 3 reports there on Dicker. I know personally there are at least 30-50 just from this site about Dicker. Make sure you report it as that site is one of the best for this.
