***goob3r*** scammed me ***$1250.00 beware ***

[Bestbuyfoam]

Thats a little different, this is a person-to-person transaction. Goob3r can easily say he provided the services which were paid for and have his admin buddies agree with him.

I have all the proof that he didn't do the job...

Here is just a couple of his first emails

HI,



Not a big deal mate. Basically i have owned a SEO company for about 6 years, and have several Custom programs, one of them is a backlink checker you currently only have 2 backlinks. To be strong for that keyword and stick you need at least 40-50k Backlinks. I will also use an index tool to ping these links to google. You should be page 1 in 1 month or less. I can also run an Optimization program to tell me if your site is optimized correctly for google, it will also tell me what you need to change as well, I can send you the report. Just let me know what your budget is and we can get it going.


Sincerely,


G00B3R

Hi,



I can definitely help you out mate. That is a very tough keyword to rank up for, i also checked your backlinks and you have 2, as the leading site for that keyword has 11,983. You could easily get #1 spot on page 1. But of course work with your budget and get the links started. Keep in mind with my service i guarantee you will not get sand-boxed, so your in good hands. Let me know if i can answer any other questions. Thanks


Sincerely,


G00B3R



Never happened and I have all the proof to show that everything he said he was going to do he didn't even come close...

 

[SmileAtmyWins]

Hey man relax, i was just saying it might be a little difficult. Im not questioning if he scammed your or not, its really none of my business, but goodluck regardless.

 

[Bestbuyfoam]

Hey foam my cousins a lawyer in your area, I was talking to him last week at our family BBQ, he had a similiar case, you can get much more than your loss, you can bank on that. I think you got my skype if you want his number.

He owes me a couple favors anyways, and is a kickass attorney, I'll make sure he hooks you up.

Yes, I do have it if you don't mind skype me his number...

Sorry haven't been on much the last to days I have been busy gathering the needed information...

Have a blessed one...

then he need to prove with report that service was completed if he can't show proof - report that service was completed - then he is scam simple as that...

 

[tas26]

WTF G00b3r, did not expected this from you.

 

[unknownn]

Why will they get banned? Because he's a mod.

Why would anyone be scared to post?

History showed many times how good members got banned without a real reason

All I'm saying is, just because he was a mod. Didn't make him special.

wrong he was a mod and its not allowed questioning a mod or his dicission


Just sayin that in past many good members of bhw got banned for many diffrent thinks like being customer of a wrong tool or for posting a good review and so on.
Thats also the reason i guess why so many good members arent posting anymore cause they dont feel bhw as a fair place anymore.
And the past also showed that there were many groups using mods reputation to increase their sales and also some mods who have zero clue about IM and making money only on their rep.

Sorry i'm writing it here but thats what many older members think

P.S that's my own opinion

 

[BigBuddy]

Hi unknown, anytime BHW will be the fair place to post their opinion. Here we mods are banning people only to safeguard the other members and not for any reason. For some cause we could not able to post the actual reason, why the member was banned.

 

[pyronaut]

wrong he was a mod and its not allowed questioning a mod or his dicission

No you are taking that in the wrong direction. Questioning a mods decision on a forum topic, or a forum rule, is against the rules. This rule came really to the forefront of BHW, when Harro outlawed coaching. There was a massive thread in it with mostly Havok taking the brunt of attacks. People complaining that it shouldn't be a rule etc. So Harro then reminded us, that if they make the rules, there is to be no questioning of them.

But this in no way extends to mods scamming people out of money.... No matter how high up.

 

[unknownn]

so overusing their power to kick someone out of their approved biz is not a reason to questioning a mods decission ?

 

[unknownn]

nevermind it wont change anything

 

[MicrosoftPoints]

Hmm the defendant fails to post after 36 + hours.

And with questioning mods, what type of quasi convoluted principle is this place trying to uphold? You think people with power are always righteous?

I noticed how you say, have a blessed one. You seem to be religious. Don't worry too much if you don't get your money back, justice is always resurrected.

 

[HaRRo]

OK guys i will put this correctly he was not a mod, he was a mod in training there is a hell of a difference.
Another thing would be that we have the rule that a "mods decision is final" yes this is all fair enough but we do believe in a lawful forum.
If you have problems with mods or other admins you contact me directly and i will solve it, i do not take sides, i will however rectify the situation and if needed remove the staff member in question if thats what it takes.
Mods or staff are not over the rules. And they never will be, mods in training are not mods either, they are in training and there is a period in which they can show us what they are capable of then we decide if they are good enough to take full position.
They have no power to do anything other than remove threads and ban users. I monitor there activity quite frequently the same i do with all our other staff.

Nobody is above our rules. Remember this. And if any mod steps over the line, CONTACT ME DIRECTLY VIA PM. You will not be banned and everything is kept private between us.

Never be scared to judge a staff member. But one thing is DO NOT DO IT PUBLIC, this will only make matters worse.

I hope that helps

Hmm the defendant fails to post after 36 + hours.

lol, you hardly can post with a banned account

 

[HaRRo]

lol, you hardly can post with a banned account

He had more than a week to reply to all the threads yet he banned the users instead and deleted most of the threads.

 

[HoNeYBiRD]

He had more than a week to reply to all the threads yet he banned the users instead and deleted most of the threads.

i know, i'm not defending him, i just answered to OP why the "defendant" can't post NOW (it seems he/she doesn't know that G00B3R is already banned)

 

[Laser]

Isn't this the guy that had a Negative Rep of something bizarre like -100 in the last year?
If not then I have him confused with another character who did in fact have a very negative rep.

 

[andyh2]

I've been a good friend of G00B3R for a few months and the work that he has done for me in the past has helped my ranking. However, my views of him have been changing. Recently, he has been kind of a dick and seems to be going money-crazy and taking advantage of people. He doesn't seem like a friend to me anymore. And after viewing the chat logs and pictures posted above, I've lost all my respect for him.

I also don't have much respect for the forum that he super moderates now. They sell VPSes for 150/year that have over $1000 worth of software loaded on to them, which suggests they are pirated copies. The developers deserve the money for the hard work they put into their software.

 

[menusforyou]

Wow... This is an eye opener for all us noobs... ive been a member for a while learning the black art of seo. Ive been taken back on how someone becomes a trusted member such as a Mod, JV or Donor. You begin to trust then because they post alot of posts n thanks. Ive learned alot from this forum and am truly greatful at all the .pdfs and software posted. It has helped my by leaps n bounds in promoting my site's. But it pisses my off to see some one in power take advantage of someone and be so cocky to point of saying go ahead n ban me. It makes me think hes got another account here and everywhere else. I have a few accounts at different sites with proxies so im sure hes still here doing his thing. Were all here for the money and promoting our products, Arent we?????

Can we call the cops for grand theft??? When in fact were using the black arts in SEO. So buyer beware....... Thats an old saying that sould ring true to this forum...

After reading the thread I got pissed.... Really pissed.... you earn your rep in here and someone takes advantage of it and the fourm loses all its worth.

my 2 cents

I feel for you guys that got you money taken and wish you the best in getting a refund. I guess if those we take advantage get theirs in the end "karma". Keep not of the names and emails and products they create and slamm the hell out of them... like Xumer blastes none stop to sandbox and blacklist the sites.... It makes me think of a service that takes down sites owned be people that rip people off.. thats the only solution to this issue.... A group that is a watchdog for Blackhatters.... Think about it...... Someone rips a blackhatter off.. gets his sites d-listed by us over advertising there sites.. with all the tools avail..

This was an edit to throw out a solution... to rip off's

[4:12:27 AM] Big R: [6/14/2010 11:20:06 PM] G00B3R BHW: But your domain wasn't a pr1 though
[6/14/2010 11:21:18 PM] G00B3R BHW: Also I'm going to be ordering more linkwheels from d3t0x for you
[6/14/2010 11:21:25 PM] G00B3R BHW: so that will only speed up the process more as well
[6/14/2010 11:22:31 PM] Big R: you said you reordered the linkwheels a week ago
[6/14/2010 11:22:53 PM] G00B3R BHW: Yes I did order those but he hasn't got them finished yet as he's on vacation right now
[6/14/2010 11:22:55 PM] Big R: i can go back and get where you said you did
[4:12:55 AM] Big R: Is this true?
[4:15:36 AM] Big R: Maybe you can answer the questions I ask when you get back online since you got offline real quick...
[4:15:47 AM] Big R: Have a blessed one...

Did you notice this line from Goobr3...

G00B3R BHW: But your domain wasn't a pr1 though

Well goob3r it is still not a pr1...

Have a blessed one...

 

[nodoubtgq79]

you dont need all that 'proof'


just the fact that he's receiving money under a false name will be his demise



btw - blackart/blackhat SEO is against google/yahoo/bing tos...it's not against a state/federal law so the courts won't care about that
