But if you go to his profile page, it won't be found.
I guess it was long coming.

I think that's because he made his profile to private, as I've seen several members do the same and it also said that the profile wasn't available or something along those lines.
I could be wrong, though

Oh shit, Festinger banned
It was one of the best services here, but since the problem with Automatic, their website wasn't working properly, it was more inactive than functional

All he had to do was respond to the DM he received, which mentioned a dispute thread against him so he could work things out.

That will change in the near future.

Our first priority is to make sure the account is no longer able to post or do business. We deal with the other admin later.

 

[praetserge]

Not really, after the problem, he just cancelled people's credits so basically stole the money, even though people were understanding there. I, personally, had my credits removed around 2022-20233.
So one dispute would potentially raise a lot of disputes.

What I mean by what I said, was that if he responded, he would have had the opportunity to fix things, but he chose to ignore it.

Hope you all can figure it out in an positive way,
loved the services and the extra things he did.

 

[Deleted member 731332]

I sniffed this scam out back in 2023. I subscribed to the service to see what it was all about due to the great reviews of it in the sales thread.

Right off the bat I had a problem syncing my admin area to his website through his plugin. He was a totally arrogant douche to me when I contacted him letting him know of the issue. He even blamed me for his issues with his own API.

Look I am no noobie to installing a plugin and following instructions. As a web developer I can build my own APIs, administrate my own unmanaged bare metal servers, and much more. I was turned off not by the service but by the person behind the service. I unsubscribed immediately. Never even got a chance to use it. When I asked for a refund you should already know what the answer was. I never got a reply after that. Totally ghosted.

It’s sad to see a person in the position he’s in now financially and all that. I feel bad for him.

But it’s not OUR problem. You’re supposed to do the right thing: refund and apologize when a refund is requested. Not blow smoke up people’s rear end and say it’s all resolved, until the next day when the same problem is brought up again because it was never resolved.

That’s a scam!! He knows what he was doing. He knew this was the end. That’s why he didn’t bother to reply.

Glad this was finally dealt with.

Thank you BHW admins

If I remember from Reddit, he got sued right? And also if I remember he is in a wheelchair.

So I hope when he fix problems, he will refund OP and get back here, he is member of this forum for such a long time and it will be shame to throw that away over $300, even $30,000 really.

Hope he gets better and comes back from all of this as a winner!

If you think it is a shame, then I request you to refund the amount for the users those who lost the lifetime membership.

This was even before the lawsuit right?

 

[korinious_k]

I have been constantly posting in thread that I have no longer access in my lifetime membership and then I've sent him email regarding that. No luck. He replied but no solution was provided. Yesterday, with no patience left anymore, I asked him for a refund. Guess, no reply. I am deeply disappointed.

 

[BassTrackerBoats]

That's a tad irrational.

I think it's a shame that people catch lobsters that are too short, but expecting me to act like a game warden is irrational.

I'm not qualified and don't live near salt water.

 

[kryssluck]

@BassTrackerBoats Hey boss, I talked to him about refund 6 days ago and he asked one more week to fix things, I accepted it. Now he's banned and the website is giving 404. Should I bother to create my own dispute resolution thread? Is he really trying to fix his shit or gone forever? If he's gone forever then I won't bother. Let us know if you're aware of his situation.

 

[nakamura]

He had one of the best services ever a few years ago. Since for a while (maybe 2-3 years) his website has been totally broken, I mean totally.

I cancelled my membership a few times and they just kept trying to charge me month after month. I don't blame him, I seriously believe his website was entirely broken and the API integration with Paddle (his payment provider) just didnt sync when I cancelled the membership. However, its just totally annoying for me as a customer.

Then there was this trouble with Automattic...which was basically the beginning of the end.

This should serve as a reminder for everyone here that if you are involved in this greyhat/blackhat niche like reselling plugins/themes and you become TOO BIG that you are a target and they will come after you.
