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.

Can we just drop this now?! One guy may have did a few people dirty, so what. Registrars do thousands of people dirty on a daily and folks stay tight lipped.

I'll call this thread the Bill Cosby copy cat. Nobody said a word for loads of time but everyone jumped on the wagon quick in hopes of getting noticed after the initial accusations. How about a 70 page thread about how godaddy and NJ auction off property that they don't own? Most registrars are filthy and folks would rather jump on one guy vs fight the bigger issue. Sad...

Keith, I respect your opinion very much but it is not right to compare registrars with this situation. Do registrars take my money and fail to deliver the service I requested? No. Do they refuse refund when I request it and eligible for? No ...And No.... Registrars do not auction what they dont own...they do what is their... cause unless you renew your domain and keep it like that then you have no rights over it.

So basically, the two scenarios are completely different. One is failing to to deliver the service/product and ignoring refund requests. You see, such comparisons are what is taking the thread off topic

 

[Abdillahi Abdillahi]

Just to clear a few things up, WebInvestments, Frank-Germany and Keith are not fiverrs or anything like that, they have been members long before this thread started. None of them share an IP with Adam Dicker.

Thursday is the busiest day for Namepros for anybody wondering.

Thanks

I was starting to think they were the same person... one person with 3 accounts lol.

Now here's a way to break news being a professional blogger. Can't agree enough with the content of the blog and the way it was presented. It clearly shows that there were issues but now these are taken care of.

Love you Domaingang.com

Yeah, just like I think that @umask077 and you are same person with two namepros accounts. Ain't it?

 

[Abdillahi Abdillahi]

Yeah, just like I am damn sure that @umask077 and you are same person with two namepros accounts. Ain't it?

I did not say damn sure... I said I thought... there is freaking difference. And no, you won't make me start new discussion. You are very good at diverting discussion :P

This particular thread should be about the victims but got sidetracked (I guess I'm also guilty for a bit of that sidetracking). I understand awareness of the issue is of course also extremely important but after 74 pages I think we have established awareness at this point.

Anyways let's get back to the point: People who claim to be victims should either contact Adam directly ( [email protected] ) or in case Adam is not answering they should contact Shane Bellone since he's doing the follow-up and making sure all victims are heard (and hopefully helped). I also strongly feel that victims should continue to tell their story here (but I haven't seen a new story for quite some pages now though).

I'll continue to follow this thread (but I'm done posting since I'm not a victim) and I sincerely hope all victims will be helped.

that is the way to do journalism - pure information=facts
and not mixing opinion - rumors - and facts in a way nobody can tell which is what

thank you, domaingang

FYI, I found this blog post by browsing domaining.c

Now here's a way to break news being a professional blogger. Love you Domaingang.com

I'm waiting like them: There are no known legal claims or lawsuits against Adam Dicker or his companies that we’re aware of, at this time.

 

[main]

I hope the Domain Sherpa take down of videos with Adam in them are temporary. At least I'd like to see the portfolio review videos re-uploaded after editing out mentions of Niche Websites and other Adam promotions. There were some excellent discussions in them.

For someone that is consistently screaming about remaining objective and sticking to facts, I'm surprised that you were happy with that article. Look at this line:

"Following week-long allegations of unfinished or undelivered web projects, Adam Dicker has reportedly taken a series of measures to refund or otherwise fulfill projects, and is working towards satisfying all contracts and claims."

So, how are they in a position to know that it's true that Adam "is working towards satisfying all contracts and claims." ?

First, for Adam to be working to satisfy ALL contracts would mean that he'd be contacting every customer whose work hasn't been delivered, not just trying to resolve issues with customers contacting him and complaining.

Second, how can they know that he is dealing with all complaints in good faith and not potentially jerking some people around some more?

An accurate and neutral way of describing what is happening would have been to say: "Adam has invited anyone with outstanding complaints to contact him at ___". By contrast, what they actually wrote sounds like they're vouching for him.

Most of Adam's sites are down.

At least they have done it professionally without abusing, insulting, bringing a man down.

And secondly, they have mentioned it in an appropriate way without creating and hype or fuss about the situation. They know there's a problem and that the problem is being taken care of.

Your question 'how can they know' is a bit confusing though. Adam would prefer to contact reputable bloggers than hype creators here to give them followups of his resolving things.

Check the last 20 pages here and you will see how it was helping anything to get resolved. Instead, few are trying to keep the heat going on for their pleasure so that they can spare their free time at best. And when someone points them to keep the thread on the right direction, they start bullying them and calling them names.

The point is, there are so many news makers but the difference is the intent and professionalism, the one way Shane did it, and then there's a way Domaingang did it. You decide which one was more 'helpful' for the community in terms of getting things resolved, rather than creating a gossip.

Sometimes you need a chainsaw to prune your hedges. Just saying.

They know there's a problem and that the problem is being taken care of.

Once again, how can they know with certainty that the problem is actually being taken care of?

Your question 'how can they know' is a bit confusing though. Adam would prefer to contact reputable bloggers than hype creators here to give them followups of his resolving things.

What difference does it make who Adam would prefer to contact? Additionally, who are you to speak about Adam's preferences?

Are you suggesting that the people at domaingang know more about what's going on than what has been disclosed here because they're being secretly contacted by Adam? Even if that's the case, is believing everything that Adam tells them really an example of objectivity?

his portfolio review is pathetic,
i urge you to find others more reliable source,
one portfolio he estimated contains a few xx,xxx$ domains sold for a few hundreths on Flippa last week for the whole portfolio
if you look at the domainsherpa top10 interviews there is a very good video on how to estimate the value of a domain name by Andrew Rosener

use also Namebio & Namepros for latest trends on real sales, that beat any valuation

its a loss to all of us

you are partly right
I don't know if all are taken care of

I have no other evidence then
"victims" have posted here
that they have been satisfied

 

[discobull]

You're conveniently leaving out the fact that others have posted that they aren't satisfied.

adams competance in regards to domain valuation for me is a matter of fact
people selling their portfolio under value doesn't make him less expert

and of course there are other expert in domaining

but do you have them on skype
and can call them anytime? free of charge?

I'm talking about the DomainSherpa Review regular show, which features three to four people discussing domain values. They usually featured Rick, Michael Berkins, Adam, Page Howe, Drew Rosener, and Shane Cultra. The value comes from hearing the variety of opinions.
