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.

 

[S-B]

Just liked you Shane. And that's because you have done something positive just now. Let's hope this all get rectified soon.

I've been trying to stay out of this because the thread has gone off topic. If there weren't more people waiting on money I would have already closed this thread.

I'm not interested hearing everyones OPINIONS.

 

[S-B]

remember
you want to help the victims...

or was it hype you wanted?

I think you might be a blind man in deep waters.

 

[Adam Dicker]

The very first post in this thread is doing a good job of tracking what issues have been resolved and what ones haven't. Domainesque, Charlie, and Jeff Markus and Blenja_man are still awaiting resolution.

Here's the thing, I PM'ed Domainesque 2-3 days ago to fin out who she is and hat her issue is so it can be resolved. Charlie is ongoing but will be resolved very shortly. Jeff Markus is not a real name so I need him to email me what his issue is. Ben Blackburn has been in touch and we are trying to resolve his issue. I can only help those that email me their issues.

Adam, I know who domainesque is but he or she has not PMed me for help either.

I can only assume he or she is out for blood rather than resolution.

Thanks Shane, I do want to resolve her but need to know the issue in order to do just that.
It has gotten to the point where people are bullying my kids in chats on Facebook and Skype rather then having me solve their issues.

Someone posted your families information on the blog. I edited it out but it's still out there.

Like in someone hands... not on the blog.

Wasn't being clear.

 

[discobull]

It's called common sense.

I guess we have a disagreement about what constitutes common sense. You'll notice that Adam keeps returning to invite anyone with an outstanding issue to contact him. That tells us that Adam himself isn't confident that the people who have thus far come forward represent the totality of dissatisfied customers. Let's also remember that Adam is in a position to know how many people paid for services that they haven't yet received and could easily take the initiative to reach out to those people and make things right instead of pursuing this route. Assuming you're capable of objectivity, what does that tell you?

It sounds like the totality of your evidence for the existence of satisfied customers is that Adam has been in business a long time. That's not called common sense, that's called a non sequitur. It's also puzzling to me that you can argue that the tone of this thread is so intimidating that satisfied customers are afraid to come forward and offer a countervailing perspective when your very actions here clearly show that you yourself would have had no problem doing what you claim they're too scared to do.

Maybe you should examine your own motives for posting all this nonsense instead of thinking so much about other people's motives?

 

[sneuman]

Awwww.

I'm interested to find out if Shane contacted a civil attorney in the States before posting "Is Adam Dicker a Criminal"? I can't imagine Adam is going to let that slide and from what I think I see, has damaged Adam and his businesses. It's good to have deep pockets like Shane has. Perception is reality in court.

That's not good, not cool. Family is off-limit.
To all domainers, let's keep it up to domain business circle.

Everybody makes mistake, Adam is here to rectify the issues.
Word of the day "Forgiveness". He already admitted his fault, and I think he's making progress.

Have a lovely day.

This is why I need people to reach out and match usernames with real issues.

This came by email and it's fake.

Called both numbers to see if I could resolve it, listen to the second one's voicemail and you will see how people just pile crap onto the thread and emails.
This is why I need to verify everyone.

Family should never be drawn into business (or any personal) disagreements. Period.

People with legit issues that want them resolved wouldn't do this, people with agendas apparently would.

I have a simple suggestion to help those who have been seeking refunds, as well as those who criticise the lack of coverage, as well as those who see the coverage as biased or in some way unfair.

Adam Dicker can send a press release himself to domaining blogs and other media just saying that he is processing refunds on services provided by nichewebsites.com and asking people to contact him on [email protected].

He can also pay for ads on domaining blogs and even Google Search to advertise this fact. Then there can be no complaints of media bias or coverup or complaints that he is selective in who he responds to.

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.

I am not being selective, do you really think that people that liked their website and didn't complain for over a year now deserve refunds just because they saw this thread. Some of which have already even sold the domain we built for them?

 

[discobull]

Check the last 20 pages and tell me, how much 'help' have you passed for the victims

We're in agreement that the last 20+ pages have lacked substance, but I would argue that as long as there continue to be customers who have not received what they paid for ( Adam seems to think there are more of those out there and there are unresolved issues still in the public record ), that maintaining pressure by keeping this thread alive is worthwhile no matter what is being discussed. I suspect that you'd agree with me if you had been one of those people that had paid Adam and received nothing in return.

@Shane Bellone
Where is part -2? I am waiting. Come on. Keep your promise and help others (as you say this is your intention). What happened with NicheWebsites.com?

 

[DU]

I'm not saying this guy is a saint. I'm saying the focus is all wrong. It's like going after a small time drug dealer instead of focusing on the kingpin. The registrars are crooked as hell and no 70 page threads are centered around that!

I'm sorry your GoDaddy auction account was banned for violating their ToS and that it only received a few pages of attention here

This is why I need people to reach out and match usernames with real issues.

You're complaining about receiving spam from a scammer? Seriously?
Has nothing to do with anything. Your customer records must suck if you actually called that number.

I guess it shows how you can profit/confuse people and rip them off, lol. Ironic, really.

 

[Jeff Markus]

Hi Adam, to keep this thread on focus can I ask a few specific questions? They relate directly to my problem which I've not determined how to solve yet.

1. A numbers of pages back a detailed break down of your forum numbers and advertising rates were posted. Those forum numbers were public and proven without any doubt to be false.

2. Around the same time you came forward to say you added over 100,000 members/emails to your forum that had never interacted with your forum in any way. You include these in your active user count and based your rates around that.

What is your stance on these two specific things? And should people that have advertised with you contact you for a refund because of these numbers?

Wow this is a lot of replies.. Anyone have a TLDR summation? Was part 2 posted?
