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.

I sent him a few domains to grade and he chose FloridaLoan.com. He told me that he can build a website for $3,000. I finally broke down and told him yes. I sent him the $3,000. He assign this job to one of his "employees" which never got in touch with me when I had a problem with the unfinished website. I would try to get a hold of Dicker but slow response! When, he did email or call back, it would always be " next week it should be done". That must of been 8,9,or 10 times that that when on. They still did not get the website right or done. One example was the telephone on the site was not mine or even a working number. I emailed or wrote to him(Facebook) over 6,7 time about the number but it was never corrected. He finally called me and told me that He will try to sell FloridaLoan.com for me at The Conference. And, if he didn't, he would refund my $3,000(this went on for over 6 months). I got in touch with him after the Conference and he told me that he never said he would refund my $3,000. I swear he did!!!!!!!

Thank you,

Victor

And you even let the domain expire, FloridaLoan.com was picked up by me about an year back.
Sorry to hear about your loss, $3000 for developing a website is a rip-off. The best of websites can be ordered to be developed for as little as $100-$1000.

The website or at least the WP theme seems to be built by http://agscybertech.com/
ref http://www.floridaloan.com/wp-content/themes/Florida_Loan/style.css
Though the site credits itself to http://www.dcg.com/

Have you tried contacting them directly? Did they get paid?

That is well, a massive price for that amount of work - did you try getting other quotes?

Carob, the website currently is not his.
I picked up FloridaLoan.com when it expired and sold to someone else at Flippa about an year back.
The present website is that person's.

FloridaLoan.com is a very nice site, great name and it got dropped. Beautiful site for someone.

 

[hawkeye]

This business is a cesspool. I've been saying that for a long time.

Yet you still keep swimming in that 'cesspool'. go figure..

 

[equity78]

Uniregisty allows credit terms?

Jen if you have a huge portfolio, say 10,000 domains and you approach a registrar saying you want to move everything to them, most would give you some type of financing deal. I confirmed this with Michael Berkens. No one is moving 40,000 names and paying that upfront transfer fee.

Friday.

Thanks - I've been sitting reading this for far too long yesterday and today......waiting for part 2.. My hemorrhoids need a rest!

This is the sad state of affairs. A fellow domainer lost good money to see what could have been.

This 3 grand could be someone's only investment, which in theory would put them out of business.

But as stated. Where are the written contracts?

Seems like @Shane Bellone is doing Google Advertisement (see the first ad in PAID ads section at the top) as well on his blog post. Wants other victims to come forward.

I guess it's very sad to see a great career culminate into something like this and giving you a forced and disgraced retirement. But then the KARMA has its job to do and pays back eventually.

I had an experience on DNF with Adam back in 2011 and was not happy with how he responded so I blogged about it to warn others. The short of it is someone intentionally won an auction of my domain without the intent of paying (just to keep someone else from buying it). They did not pay, then they contacted me to try to buy it for a fraction of what the auction ended at. I informed Adam of this and asked him to ban this member since the guy was clearly a scumbag and not someone you should want around a good forum and Adam refused to. I lost whatever respect I had for him then and never have had any dealings with him since then. It's a small case, but it shows he put his agenda before the welfare of the hundreds/thousands of members on DNF.

I'm pleasantly surprised someone is spending money to help get the word out but I can't take credit for it.

You mean, you didn't put up that Adam Dicker Ad with Google but someone else did?

Correct.

 

[SirDrago]

Correct.

With or without your approval?

Then I will admit that I have no idea who posted it. It sure as hell amuses me though.

Shane, you previously stated that you can log I.P's on your blog .... Just saying.

Yes. For comments.

How convenient for you lol

This reminds me of the film Tower Heist.

Interesting question, if a domainer's assets get frozen, can someone keep renewing the domains or are they forced to drop?
