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.

That is a key point about how reputation management works - crowd out the bad stuff by creating profiles and sites all over so that one or two embarrasing sites or episodes get hard to find when they fall to page 4 on Google. There are a LOT of Adam Dicker profiles on the internet keeping a smiley face and rosy picture up there.

How many people knew Adam Dicker also does sex and relationship advice too...
You can see his advice here: https://www.quora.com/Adam-Dicker

Just the latest examples on there:

What does that have to do with anything? Usually marketers participate in their profitable niches in order to sell things more successfully..... common marketing tactics/practices

If you were one of the people he took money from, thousands of dollars it would bother you a lot. He deceived people that have mouths to feed. Bills to pay.

I think there are a lot of people speaking on their behalf, and that only a small number of those are doing so at their request or with their permission. The impression that I've got from the nichewebsites.com customers is that they want a refund, and the impression I've got from the former employees is that they want further reassurances that Adam Dicker is not going to try and cause trouble for them with their (probably invalid) NDA's, having already received the money that they are owed.

Not seen a single person who has identified themselves as a victim say that they want to take this as far as the FBI, neither have I seen those who have identified themselves as being in communication with them state that this is the case. So in the words of Adam Dicker the FBI talk is all "just noise".

 

[DomainGist]

The problem is it's bullsh*t!! He's not getting back to anybody! Besides Frank Schilling who else has been paid back? Still lying! People are anonymous here. because of pending litigation. Just like most others here are anyway.

The former employees are not owed any money, and several of his NicheWebsites customers report being refunded.

If there is anybody else still awaiting reimbursement perhaps they should identify themselves, are you one of them?

I'm aware of a handful more. Some are owed a lot of money.

Those who are here for help can reach out to Adam at his email to get things resolved. And if it's not to the satisfactory of the claimants, they can voice out here again.

On the other hand, there are some people here who are not affected / related going to the extreme to destroy someone.

It's easy to set up an anonymous account to criticise without revealing any vested interest in the bashing.

I don't think you have to be one of the victims to call things by its name. Adam Dicker is getting what he deserves... I don't think I would be satisfied just getting a refund. My advice to those affected by Adam is: stay calm, wait until you get paid, and then try to group together to pursue a class action. Get in touch with and attorney and let him figure out what's the best course of action in this particular scenario.

If nothing is done, I assure you that this won't be the last time we hear about him. These guys need to be taught the hard way.

I don't think he has yet gotten what he deserves. If the allegations are true, he has committed some serious crimes and justice would only be done in a criminal court. The reason why he keeps getting away with these acts and go on to repeat them is he filters victims that are meek and won't go to the proper authorities.

Irving Fryar the ex-NFL star and his mother were just convicted of mortgage fraud. They are getting jail time, monetary fines AND they are required to pay back their victims. That is justice.

I'm not condoning what he has done. I feel for those who suffered too.

But we should not forget this man's contributions as well.

 

[Domain Truth]

Paying back SOME of his victims and only after they have gone public to complain on a message board does not constitute contributions.

When I say contributions, I mean contributions to the domaining community. How he has shared information and knowledge. How he has helped domainers. Do we discount all of these just because one did wrong?

Since you have been giving me dislikes a couple of time, why don't you reveal who you are, and what vested interest you have in this?

By thinking that contributions means only paying back shows how narrow focus and determined you are to put down a man.

 

[Domain Truth]

In the words of Shane Bellone, I don't owe you anything. I don't want to see innocent people get screwed and I want to see perps get what they deserve.

 

[Jen-Sin]

Haha. How convenient.

"I don't owe you anything." In your own words, Adam don't owe you anything either.

This only shows how much both of you had to hide when questioned. Totally unreliable and not credible.

I don't want to see the community hooked by people who are not objective and have hidden agendas, hiding under an anonymous nickname.

 

[Domain Truth]

So because I disliked a couple of your comments and disagree with your stance, I owe you my identity or else am totally unreliable and not credible? Check yourself. The only agenda here is to prevent this from ever happening again. Ever. Not to sympathize with the perpetrator or sidetrack the topic. You are a nobody. My comments stand on their own.

 

[Jeff Markus]

Unreal in a thread dedicated to people trying to get their money back you still have fools standing up for the guy.

Jen-sin don't take advice from a guy that can't even make a 3 person payrol. Do yourself a favor and forget what you've seen its all just sound bites and regurgitated advice from things he's read. It's all part of the scam.

Take the blinders off. It's time.

His contributions to the domaining community are giving bogus advice to newbies to hand register domains so he can push his "development" services to.and to filter out newbies that are in a weak financial position so he can recruit them as cheap labor for his pet projects.

do you have proof?
how much insider knowledge do you have?

who are you?

No I think we need another 10-20 people to come forward before we can confirm this Adam Dicker is a scam. Lol

I would think of AD is very knowledgeable in regards to domain value
I bet nobody has ever wasted money he paid for his domain evalution

may we agree on :
its better to be a little more precise - when condemning
and if somebody is accused - maybe proof is a good idea?
