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.

Grab me on Skype and let's deal with it.

Disclaimer: I have no history or business with Adam Dicker.

It's good to see people getting taken care of.

It speaks volumes that Adam Dicker's reputation (whatever it is now) has value to him, but the people he hid from and let down had none. It's even more brazen to have touted himself as a successful domainer just trying to help others make revenue, when in reality he was just helping himself to their funds, their naivete, and their trust.

Plenty of people are going to shill for him because they want to believe only the best of people succeed, or they have a history with him and know the game. What's most disgusting is that he is sitting on a fortune in domains and doesn't even need to break the little people for his bank account, or his ego's sake.

The ready made excuse others crafted earlier has already come out: I got overwhelmed in business. I call BS on that. People were knocking on the door for months and being ignored - it took Shane's blog post, this thread, and probably Frank stating publicly about it all to get Dicker to handle it.

If it's as simple as rip people off, hide behind your reputation and their silence, forfeit back a small percentage of profit when it hits the fan, be applauded for being forced to face the music and welcomed back to the fold....well.....


Shane, you're a loose cannon and your motivations elude me - but regardless, thanks for this thread and riding it out.

I’ve read a lot of claims over the past 24-36 hours. I’m not sure it’s getting us anywhere. I know that Shane Bellone (the author of the original blog post that started this discussion) plans to reveal more.

I’d like to collect some good information, rather than just basic accusations. I think this will be helpful in getting the full story. With that in mind, you can email me at andrew (at) domainnamewire.com if you believe you have been cheated. However, I only want the information in this format:

1. What you bought or your business deal and relevant dates
2. How much you paid, if applicable
3. What was delivered
4. How was this deficient compared to what you were promised
5. Do you have commitments (either prior to the transaction or afterward) that are in writing?
6. Did you ask for a refund? If so, did you receive a response? Include dates/details
7. Your name

E-MAIL THESE TO ME RATHER THAN POSTING A COMMENT IF YOU WANT ME TO TAKE A LOOK.

Sometimes it's about other people. Other times, I will admit, it's about me.

My post and thread had a goal and we are seeing some form of restitution.

What's important is that Adam is doing the right thing now.

I'm not saying anyone should do business with him but I am saying some credit is due.

 

[Arpit131]

I have done business with Adam Dicker for like 6 months. My personal experience has been one of trust and professional one!

Why are you trying to start trouble now? We're past the drama and working on a resolution.

Haha, you're accusing him of "starting trouble"?!?!?!

It seems a valid follow-up to a claim you made, Shane.....

Is this about only making people whole? Or is it about making people whole AND helping people avoid future error?

 

[Dominic Belley]

Why are you trying to start trouble now?

From you, that is one of the funniest line out of these 34 pages. This thread is so ridiculous.
What is coming next? All companies on the planet have unhappy customers. Which one, that you have no business with, are you targetting next?

The unfortunate reality that will be...

Let me take the heat of Shane, Yes I buy comments off Fiverr!
I buy them to promote my businesses and pump up press releases/videos/articles I have done with positive comments.

Sounds like part 2 may not be forthcoming after all?

I am not looking to hide. That's why I am here .

I am sure part two will come out.

Because some people want drama and not results.

 

[domainerfella]

I would love to see Raymond Hackney opening another thread for moderating the issues one by one, if he is willing to take this trouble, with only the complainant/s (one complaint at a time), Adam, and Raymond having commenting rights and only viewing rights for others. I say Raymond's name because he is respected here and is neutral.

I think a large pile of the mess can be cleared this way systematically.

I'm not that vindictive.

As far as I'm concerned, making good makes us good.
