Since the ehoar section is no longer around some may have forgotten about one of the biggest ripoffs in BHW history. This guy has the balls to be on his old yahoo, so I did some Googling and yes, he's still around. I'm here to refresh some memories and to let Troy Smith know I haven't forgotten about him and still have a file on him. Most importantly, to let you guys know that might not have, that this guy will run with your money.

Now 22 year old Troy Anthony Smith originally of Morganton GA, DC, Boca Raton and others, opened up a dating affiliate site in 2009 called CrushDollars, paid out twice, then bought a car and left for some state like Michigan with his girlfriend he met online, Nina Bronson (I also got a handwritten bad check from Nina Bronson for $125), leaving many, many unpaid affiliates behind, right at the holidays.

In total, I was paid $1375 by CrushDollars and was left owed $1100.

I have EXTENSIVE chat logs with him, here's some excerpts:

singing_me_2_sleep (8/15/2009 1:58:08 PM): Hey Troy, did wires go out? I didn't get one yet...
crushtroy (8/15/2009 1:58:22 PM): yea, they went out friday
crushtroy (8/15/2009 1:58:38 PM): you should get it by monday

....

singing_me_2_sleep (8/24/2009 4:57:11 PM): Hey Troy, I'm singingsleep01, last week the wire did come in on Monday but it didn't this time. I was just wondering if you think it'll be later
crushtroy (8/24/2009 4:57:54 PM): some wires are going out this friday this week for last weeks pay, we had some fraud come through at the last minute last week so we are reviewing some leads.
crushtroy (8/24/2009 4:58:06 PM): not to worry though your last weeks pay will be added to this weeks and paid this friday
crushtroy (8/24/2009 4:58:08 PM): on time

.....

singing_me_2_sleep (8/31/2009 1104 AM): Are payments going to be delayed even further?
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1112 AM): hey
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1112 AM): no
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1119 AM): whats your username?

crushtroy (8/31/2009 1104 AM): your check will arrive on or by the 2nd
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1104 AM): its been sent though
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1105 AM): in the amount of $900.00
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1118 AM):
singing_me_2_sleep (8/31/2009 1141 AM): I had deposit in, it's a check? I just want to make sure to be ready for it
singing_me_2_sleep (8/31/2009 1149 AM): yayyyyyyyyy
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1153 AM): yea
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1154 AM): its a check
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1108 AM): thats what you requested right?
singing_me_2_sleep (8/31/2009 1119 AM): No I had bank set up got two deposits that way
singing_me_2_sleep (8/31/2009 1124 AM): Check is ok though
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1133 AM): hmm
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1133 AM): let me double check
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1158 AM): when did you setup the wire info?
singing_me_2_sleep (8/31/2009 1115 AM): about 4 days after I got my first check
singing_me_2_sleep (8/31/2009 1134 AM): must have been little short of a month now
singing_me_2_sleep (8/31/2009 11:14:00 AM): my first wire came on 8/17
singing_me_2_sleep (8/31/2009 11:14:13 AM): no 8/07
crushtroy (8/31/2009 11:14:20 AM): oh ic
crushtroy (8/31/2009 11:14:37 AM): hmm dunno why we had u down for a check
singing_me_2_sleep (8/31/2009 11:14:42 AM): 8/17 was the second one
crushtroy (8/31/2009 11:14:56 AM): you'll get it by the 2nd,and your networks payments will be sent via wire
crushtroy (8/31/2009 1102 AM): i apologize

.....

singing_me_2_sleep (9/2/2009 2:04:53 PM): Hi Troy, it's the 2nd and no check came today. And I've read about people's checks bouncing. I really can't afford the nsf fee. Is the check, if it comes, going to bounce?
singing_me_2_sleep (9/2/2009 249 PM): If at all possible, I wish I could void that check and just get the wire that I've been signed up for. My phone got turned off today because I've been working crush last month and not getting paid for it, this is really bad for me.
singing_me_2_sleep (9/2/2009 246 PM): A lot of people depend on me and if I could even get a portion of what I've earned it would help. The first check I got from you guys was hand written for $125, I haven't deposited it, I assume that would bounce too?
singing_me_2_sleep (9/2/2009 204 PM): Since I've started working for Crush, my total earnings are $2475. I've been paid 875 of that so far, counting -50 for the wire fees. I haven't deposited the first check.
crushtroy (9/2/2009 231 PM): you can deposit your checks
crushtroy (9/2/2009 236 PM): that isue was fixed
singing_me_2_sleep (9/2/2009 245 PM): Ok even that old one?
crushtroy (9/2/2009 2:16:17 PM): yep
crushtroy (9/2/2009 2:16:22 PM): you're good to go
singing_me_2_sleep (9/2/2009 2:16:40 PM): Ok well minus that check, it comes out to 1475, I mean it's on my stats
crushtroy (9/2/2009 201 PM): that'll be included in this weeks wire
crushtroy (9/2/2009 218 PM): get your username please?
singing_me_2_sleep (9/2/2009 227 PM): Ok, last time we talked you said a check for 900 was coming though, by the 2nd? It's singingsleep01
crushtroy (9/2/2009 239 PM): yep
crushtroy (9/2/2009 249 PM): thats what the bank tell me
crushtroy (9/2/2009 256 PM): it will arrive by
crushtroy (9/2/2009 203 PM): it could be a day before or after
crushtroy (9/2/2009 235 PM): i can give you the confirmation number and check number if you'd like

.....

singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 1150 AM): Hi Troy, I still haven't gotten the check that you said would be here on the 2nd. Here's a screenshot of my stats before the pay change: http://nl.tinypic.com/r/2lsxxeo/3 and here is a screenshot of my bank and what I've been paid: http://nl.tinypic.com/r/qz10s7/3, including a check #109 from SunTrust bank for 125.00, that's $1375 that I've been paid from Crush and I have earned $2475. That's $1100 dollars owed to me. This is the fifth time in more than a month that I've asked about my earnings, and gotten incorrect information each time about when I would recieve my earnings. I would like to know definitively if I'm ever going to get paid these earnings, thanks.
crushtroy (9/8/2009 1153 AM): I am currently away from the computer.
crushtroy (9/8/2009 1132 AM): hey
crushtroy (9/8/2009 1103 AM): the $35 increase does not apply to past earnings
crushtroy (9/8/2009 1112 AM): only everything from the 7th on up
singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 1121 AM): I know that. The screenshot provided is from before the pay change, as I said
crushtroy (9/8/2009 1140 AM): so you're saying we still owe you $1100?
singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 1100 AM): You can see it yourself in my stats. You told me a few times that a check for $900 was coming, that never arrived.
crushtroy (9/8/2009 1110 AM): what?
crushtroy (9/8/2009 1121 AM): that was sent a few weeks ago
singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 1137 AM): It's not arrived.
crushtroy (9/8/2009 1143 AM): whats your name?
singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 1148 AM): Misti ******
crushtroy (9/8/2009 1118 AM): okay
singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 1127 AM): If you yourself look at my stats and subtract $10 per sale it's still the same, I wouldn't lie about it, look for yourself.
crushtroy (9/8/2009 1143 AM): i'm not saying you're lieing
singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 1140 AM): I got a wire last friday and I am appreciative of that, but I would like to know what's wrong with the rest and why it hasn't come is all
singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 11:38:10 AM): The lack of funds has stunted my ability to push for Crush since that's what I was going to use to buy my addons for Clbot
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:38:21 AM): looks like the check for $900 was canceled and i dont know why
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:38:50 AM): if i re-sent it today
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:38:55 AM): it would arrive by this friday
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:39:01 AM): the 11th
singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 11:39:04 AM): That's okay, I was signed up for wire anyway, you told me you didn't know why a check had been sent in the first place, can it be wired?
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:39:16 AM): oh yea thats right
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:39:33 AM): it can be wired along with fridays payments
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:39:36 AM): if you'd like
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:39:46 AM): i remember now we canceled the check to wire you, but it never got wired
singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 11:40:37 AM): Yes please, then I can immediately get those addons that I need so that I can push a lot of traffic for you, I prefer you guys over the rest but I can't pay bills when I can't get paid
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:43:19 AM): sweet
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:43:24 AM): okay friday will be in
crushtroy (9/8/2009 11:43:27 AM): no issues,
singing_me_2_sleep (9/8/2009 1104 AM): Ok, thanks

......

singing_me_2_sleep (9/11/2009 3:14:06 PM): Hi, did you send out wires today? I didn't get one.
singing_me_2_sleep (9/11/2009 3:20:17 PM): crushtroy: okay friday will be in crushtroy: no issues,
singing_me_2_sleep (9/11/2009 346 PM): There's not even any way I can get PARTIAL payment of what I'm owed, or anything? I mean, I've been paid after I was owed this, so obviously there wasn't a problem with my work or anything.
singing_me_2_sleep (9/11/2009 3:39:36 PM): I've read a lot on BHW about people having delayed payments, but it seems they all got paid. I'm not sure what it is about me, specially, that you won't pay me. I've even been really nice about it, especially for someone who's been owed $1100 for more than a month from a company that's supposed to pay weekly, and have contacted you 8 times now about it, only to be lied to each time. I mean, what's up?
singing_me_2_sleep (9/11/2009 3:47:57 PM): At this point, I don't see any recourse except filing a small claim in GA court and moving on. I'm really disappointed, and would have appreciated you just telling me you weren't going to pay me instead of all the false dates and waiting, it was a mutual waste of time.
crushtroy (9/11/2009 5:25:32 PM): hey
crushtroy (9/11/2009 5:25:52 PM): wires went out today, if your bank didn't make the cut-off you'll recieve it monday morning
crushtroy (9/11/2009 526 PM): and i dont read bhw
crushtroy (9/11/2009 532 PM): so they can say all they want
crushtroy (9/11/2009 532 PM): lol
crushtroy (9/11/2009 513 PM): if you have any other questions about your wire let me know

......

singing_me_2_sleep (9/14/2009 12:03:32 PM): crushtroy: if you have any other questions about your wire let me know
singing_me_2_sleep (9/14/2009 12:03:45 PM): Uh, just one. Why does the wire not exist? lol
crushtroy (9/14/2009 1259 PM): you're like asking to be banned aren't you?

..

crushtroy (9/14/2009 12:14:44 PM): no possibly tonight or latest tomorrow morning

crushtroy (9/14/2009 12:42:00 PM): and thank you
singing_me_2_sleep (9/14/2009 12:49:16 PM): Probably in a week or two here I'll be ready for it. It says payment under review I hope it dosen't reverse lol. I have a feeling you'll take care of me if it does though. PP can be a royal bitch.
crushtroy (9/14/2009 12:50:46 PM): yea i will
crushtroy (9/14/2009 12:50:48 PM): it says review?
crushtroy (9/14/2009 12:51:09 PM): does it need me to do anything
singing_me_2_sleep (9/14/2009 12:51:15 PM): Yeah it's got a red flag by it and says payment status: under review
crushtroy (9/14/2009 12:51:37 PM): call paypal and ask them what i need to do

singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 9:50:42 AM): That's even weirder, maybe it has to process what I just told them, I'm going to call them again I have that number somewhere
singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 9:53:55 AM): it says status awaiting other partys response

singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 10:21:12 AM): she says it's not closed and its not showing they got a phone call
singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 10:21:46 AM): she says they just need to verify who you are
singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 1005 AM): are you sure its the right account you're looking at lol

singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 10:29:48 AM): which sucks because even if i had the money to give back if i did no one can access it anyway
singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 1014 AM): it's like having to ask them permission to do your own business lol
singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 10:50:38 AM): damn this is scary, why did they take so long to do it, that money's long been sent to the bank and spent
crushtroy (9/22/2009 10:53:48 AM): at least you got it out
singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 10:54:04 AM): yeah but i'm 900 in the hole with paypal and have to put it back
crushtroy (9/22/2009 10:54:07 AM): they're still holding it so they cant say you took the money
singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 10:54:22 AM): it'll overdraw my bank account
crushtroy (9/22/2009 10:54:25 AM): if i dont have the funds back in my account

..

singing_me_2_sleep (9/22/2009 10:55:22 AM): they took like 120 in there i had from datinggold too

I of course had to repay the $900 and never heard from him again.

Here's the lovely couple enjoying a nice meal together, no doubt paid for by the people they stole from:



Last I heard, Nina was pregnant. I had two children at the time they ripped me off. I'd like to ask them how they'd feel if someone ripped them off $1100 right before christmas, now that they have children of their own?

He goes by the screen name blackxxxer on forums, jmaster12490 was his personal screen name, tasmithonline is also an alias of his, on GAF and other freelance hire sites his handle was tombhs.

It's been three years, and Troy Smith is starting to think we've forgotten about him. Be vigilant.
