View Full Version : Warning - AWC

I made a deal with Snoopy or AWC that runs:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.adultwmcash" target="_blank">http://www.adultwmcash</a><br /><a href="http://www.awchost.com" target="_blank">http://www.awchost.com</a><br /><br />He was supposed to send me 1k hits a day for 30 days for $100. I sent him the money, he said he would start pumping the hits with in an hour and send me a UN and PW so I could log in and check stats on it. Well, DAYS went by and a few posts on the board how the free host is redirecting and one before about how he screwed someone else, but it was worked out (so I figured he was legit). I decided to go to PayPal and request my money back. After a few days he hit me up on ICQ saying something about he hasn't been able to connect for 3 days and that my traffic was 'ready'. I responded telling him to either start the traffic or refund me the money. Few days later, (Yesterday or Saturday) I got an email from PayPal stating that the case has been solved and my refund was .03. 3 FUCING CENTS. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> That's $99.97 less then what I paid. I've contacted both PayPal and again tried him and nothing. Anyone have any suggestions?

Something like that happened to me <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> <br />With someone else...lucky me it was not a big amount, but I paid and got nothing in return!<br /><br />Its why when I will be ready to buy traffic, ill ask to some of you here.<br /><br />I feel sorry for you, since I know how you feel.<br /><br />Good luck buddy<br /><br />Mav

If anyone knows Snoopy AKA Roger Kidd AKA CON ARTISTS information, I would highly appreciate it. The information in his WhoIS is false. Phone number is all 5's and the one that has an area code has a Phoenix area code while he claims he lives in Indiana.<br /><br />Thanks in advance. <img border="0" alt="[Hi]" title="" src="graemlins/hi.gif" />

Well, if you wanna smack his head I think I have his home address which he gave me for Western Union transfer <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br />Anyway, I'm not at home right now but I have it in ICQ history at home computer. If it's not too harsh I'll post in on board in Sunday when I return home so everyone with a baseball bat can have a little fun on a boring sunday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

Thanks Dreamer. I've tried and tried over and over to get PayPal to do something. I've told them OVER and OVER that all I know is his name, asking if they could do something about it. They mentioned notifying local authorities and I asked them if they could, they said no. They told me I had to. What am I supposed to do? Go down to the local police station and tell them that some guy screwed me out of $100 via PayPal and all I know is his name and nothing else about the guy? They would laugh and tell me to come back when I have useful information. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Joshua,<br /><br />They were probably talking about his local authorities. I would contact the BBB about this. In your report tell them that you are trying to pursue this but PayPal won't help you and they won't release the scammers address info. After you get his address then you can file the report with his local PD or small claims. I may be mistaken about the small claims court. You may be able to file that in your area, not sure my lawyer always handles my bullshit for me.<br /><br />Hope this helps. I hate being scammed too but I love revenge. Nothing so sweet as the taste of revenge.<br /><br />LD <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />LD <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />

Ok, I'll post address on board when I return home. Btw, his name isn't Roger Kidd, it's roger Pence if I remember good. It must be since I choosed Western Union option in which he must show his ID to pick up money and I send money on Roger Pence.

Hey, I had the same problem with paypal. All you have to do is remind them that your insured up to 100,000.00 dollars! You aggreed to that when you first signed up with pay pal. If they fail to do the proper investigation (paypal logs all transactions) then you my friend will have a pretty cute civil suit on your hands. Once you remind pay pal of that little detail, and they still fail to do what they should, then simply call a lawyer for a consultation. They will explain how much money you can get for false advertisment and breeching a contract (not sure if there is money in that particular one) but False Advertisement definatly.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Keith <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Paypal does not insure you for traffic or payment of services.<br /><br />You can contact local authorities who will be able to obtain his info from Paypal themselves. You dont have the right to just request it yourself due to privacy laws.

Joshua
04-05-2002, 04:54 PM
Dreamer, where did you send the Western Union to? IN or AZ? His whois has information for IN but phone number is AZ. If his ass in AZ I'll goto his house and get my money back.<br /><br />Rose, PayPal told me to contact MY local authorities. They responded back to me about how I'm supposed to do it when all I know is his name, and supposedly it isn't even that and they told me to contact their internet fraud division in my local police station. Still missing the whole fact that I don't know shit about the guy. I swear to god the support at PayPal sucks ass and they have larger idiots working for them then dial up ISPs do.<br /><br />Toker, I know I don't have the right to request it. All I was asking for was what state he lived in so I could have atleast something if I went to the cops or something. I would of been told to come back when I have more information if I just went with a name that again, supposedly isn't legit now either. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Thanks everyone for your comments and I'll be waiting for that information Dreamer. <img border="0" alt="[Hi]" title="" src="graemlins/hi.gif" />

Joshua...<br /><br />You have a private message... Please check it out.

There has been some confusion. This post is not regarding the individual that goes by the name/handle 'AWC' and/or 'Maistre'. It's regarding the individual Snoopy that runs the following sites:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.adultwmcash.com" target="_blank">http://www.adultwmcash.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.awchost.com" target="_blank">http://www.awchost.com</a><br /><br />When I defined 'AWC', it was meaning ADULT WEBMASTER CASH. Hope this clears things up. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

There's also the FBI.. they have a simple online form for reporting internet fraud... only time I used that I got around $2k back from a furniture company in a hurry (after I told them it was done). Later, the FBI told me I was one of VERY few customers to see their money back before company went belly up.

Can you provide me with the link? Thanks.

Contact the local police in his area.. it's amazing how well this works. <br /><br />Use neotrace to find out what city he's actually in, eg trace his IP address, then file a criminal complaint with the police in that jurisdiction. <br /><br />They will usually at least phone call the bugger, which is good for panicking them into paying you/refunding you as they should.<br /><br />I am not in the least bit hesitant to call the cops in the hometown of someone who's trying to screw me. They are usually helpful.

I don't know his home town, yet. As for the IP, I guess I could ask one of the ADMINs here for it, but would they give me it?<br /><br />He also emailed me this weekend claiming he's sent me several emails with out response on my behalf, yet it was the FIRST one I have EVER received from him. Hmmm?

Tim would give you IP if you provide a solid reason to do so.

Well, update is that he claims he's sending me a money order on Monday. Kinda funny though that he has yet to show his face sort a speak around any boards and/or ICQ.

Dreamer

Guess I'll need to call police office in his home town also to get my 300$.

Joshua
04-29-2002, 12:27 AM
Hey, hate to bring this back up, BUT...

Ok, 2 weeks later he hasn't sent me a dime. I warned him last week I was going to go ahead and go down to the police station tomorrow if I didn't start receiving 2,000 UNIQUE a day from him or my money. Doesn't look like he's gonna respond any further.

My question is, what do I say when I go down to the police station? Should I print the ICQ logs and stuff? Let them know the address that I think is his and if they wanted to his domains are registered @ GoDaddy which is about 3 miles away from me and they could get a court order or something to get his LEGIT information, because in order for him to of signed up he had to use a CC affiliated with him, wouldn't he?

Thanks, any responses before tomorrow would be helpful guys. :hi:
