tl;dr: Fraudin?
Hey
@Andre Youkhna, thanks for responding to questions. I want to believe this is legitimate, but I have such a strong feeling that this is embellished if not fabricated. I spent a while working reputation management with clients in the space that you are currently in. I literally spent a year trying to rebuild the rep of someone who was working on building "the next great social network" and was "securing funding" at every turn but the backers pulled out for some reason or another.
What I'm seeing as a track record is that you
joined and immediately posted that you were CEO of a company that generated $45 million for clients.
@Sephrata called you out pretty quick on that, and you played it off well. This company is nowhere on your LinkedIn. I basically couldn't find anything online about this company that made $45 million for clients in 2018 except a Fiverr profile that had the exact same copy pasted information as your intro thread:
https://www.fiverr.com/digitalmediafy. And that you sold
mobile site optimization for $600 that nobody ever bought. Your site is gone, like completely gone, which is impressive for a company of that size to just disappear like that. Unless $45 million is not an accurate number.
I did see the other company that you listed as CEO of on your LinkedIn, though. From 2011 to last month, which is impressive since you graduated college last year. I found the website for the company. Nice site, but it's a little off putting that your testimonials are generic as can be and the people's photos in your testimonials all reverse image search to dozens of results. And your clients page mysteriously is blank. The social icons lead to nothing, and the team members on the Team page are the default for the cheap WordPress theme you bought for that site. Ran the company for eight years, are a leader in SEO, and that's your website. Unless "The #1 SEO Services Company" is not accurate, either. I wanted to listen to your company podcast, too, but I was disappointed that the episodes all 404'ed.
But then company three comes along.
ING Marketing Group. Whose logo is a free deer icon and some cheap text. Whose domain was registered in October 2018. Whose website was on Wix and is now down because in February, three months after starting, the whole company was "dissolved". I found a Reddit thread where you are hawking your services and claiming the $45 million number again, but with this new company instead of your Digital Mediafy company. $45 million... why do you need to offer services cold on Reddit? (Also, I found another startup you created a year ago and that website leads to nothing as well). So that went poof in a matter of months.
And now Deskx AI, which isn't even the social network startup concept that you say you got funded. All these companies share the same address. All these companies came and went in a few years. Late last month you were complaining that you were having trouble hiring sales people because they all thought they were worth a quarter-mil plus commissions. Meanwhile there's a Reddit thread by you hiring people that was deleted because it was commission only with no base pay. There is also the issue that the banned member above brought up, another Reddit thread where you are clearly conversing with yourself and shilling your own service. A service that has been around for a month.
You expect us to believe that you got funded millions of dollars, but your responses in here are vague and canned. Almost all of your threads are you boasting about your own services, but all I see are the shells of companies that either are completely fake, or have no track record of success. You're hopping on the same AI SEO train that so many other shillers are. A couple months ago you hinted at what I assume this "funded project" is:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/a-new-social-network-journey-to-god-knows.1112169/.
You have hinted several times at "nurr.io" being your new site, and likely the topic of this thread. The site doesn't work. It isn't live, it isn't indexed. So what is the story? Again, I've worked with people like you. I have created these grandiose personas for others to make them seem larger than life than they actually are. I would have left this alone if you didn't have an open JV thread trying to get other members to work for/with you. I've called out a lot of things like this on BHW over the years, this isn't new. What's the story? Prove me wrong.
