Naming names to avoid

I wouldnt say you were wrong...more like misled. I think if you can get the money back since obviously he is not going to give you the support you need to get it off the ground as you like, I would invest it in alance or another designer.

I know he boasts about his php capabilities which is great, but that has to come with some kind of appeal to it to. You never know maybe someone around here can help you out a little once you get thei over with

I am PMing you with something. I have an idea for you just from reading about what your goal was. I can not use it and I think it could work for you. I am done with a forum for now until my site starts to kick ass at some point lol but I will share with you.

Dont worry about him I do believe what goes around comes around, and thanks for the comments. I have many frustrating days but it takes just one signup and I am back where I want to be with enthusiasim.

I would reccomend that if you want to allow a designer to setup shop on your server that you provide a seperate ftp account that only grants access to a new directory and not your root. Also setup a new database user, and only grant privelages to the database for those sites.

Unfortunately the registrar won't transfer the domain without approval from the current owner to prevent reverse domain hijacking. Your only recourse is to hope this guy pulls his head out of ass (ASSHAT). Personally, I'd be asking for a refund.

Speaking of refund.. since you paid with PAYPAL, can't you just file a complaint and get your money back

as always, just my two cents

With paypal I got jacked for 5 ipods last year from a fraudulent user on ebay. I think the only way they can recoup your money is if the other party has the money in their paypal account.

Paypal sucks, it was a debacle, and I never got my money back.

Hopefully Scrappy will man up and do the right thing.

Paypal has a special refund program for stuff bought on eBay.
For any complaints, you have to file within 45 days of the transaction.

I have asked repeatedly for a refund....was willing to take 50% loss.

He obviously does not have the money....no solvent businessman would do this, this way.

I have banned Scrappy from this forum as he didn't respond to my PM's or emails either. Furthermore any guy who is going to start a site called pokerforbitches.com, I probably don't want here anyways..... I imagine our female mebers might be a bit offended.

Those websites that the OP is linking to are the ugliest websites I have ever seen. What were you thinking buying those?!

I will never get any money, NPG.
It is undoubtedly long spent.

He has contacted me, but still is ignoring the necessity of transferring the files of the sites to me...even just giving me FTP access.

I would be shite out of luck if he died tomorrow, would never get my files, and would never get HIS ads off of MY sites.

He still has all of his own affiliate IDs in the ads, and is siphoning whatever traffic happens along to his own site and freerolls.

Management here suggested that I contact all of his affiliate managers.

I couldnt agree more and I think he may already be in some hot water with Carbon /Poker.com as his post for members have now been deleted and retracted.
