USAWarez.com & USAWarez.net for SALE!

I have decided to bring this auction to Digital Point Forums due to the amount of reception it received on: http://www.wjunction.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3487

Info:
Hello everyone, my name is ArtiFax. Many of you know me, and if you don't think you do, you probably do, you just don't know it yet. I used to operate several decent Warez forums in the scene in my hay day & I think it is time to pass the torch on elsewhere.





So here is what this auction entails.

Domain Names: USAWarez.com (Expired, but locked on GoDaddy until 2009), USAWarez.net (Reg through 2010).
Database: Full unreleased USAWarez backup. 45k+ ACTIVE Members, 100,000 thousands of threads and posts.

Screenshots from some donations/subscriptions:

More pmnt screenshots are available. When USAWarez is up and running it generates an easy $70-200/day easily. Also USAWarez can generate anywhere from 200-500 additionally/month with BlackLabelAds network and navbar purchased links. These figures are not represented in the screenshots above.

USAWarez is a highly modified forum with a powerful domain that can turn your average earnings into mega profits overnight if done appropriately. Help doing this will be granted on my own behalf.

WHY Am I selling? I no longer have the time to run this site, my daily life is very busy these days. I would love for it to be up and running again.

If you want to know more feel free to ask.

Everything is setup and ready to go on the hong kong server (HostFresh). I just don't have the $300 to activate the server right now. Feel free to reply to this thread or via private message.

Basically whoever buys this site is getting a gold mine. Time and time again USAWarez has been proven to be a high traffic volume community with a lot of money coming your way. There is also a staff already in place, over 20 uploaders, 5 graphic designers, 4 supermoderators, and 2 administrators.

If you are questioning the validity of this auction, it is legit.

STARTING BID: $1,600
Increments of: $50 please!

Serious Bids only please!

I'm not sure why you copied that and posted it here. As I stated above the site is currently down and I don't have money to re-activate the server at this time. Why? I was locked up for 6 months in impatient and during that time the individual running the site decided to run away with the money.

Serious bidders, serious questions.

 

Can you prove site ownership?

 

He hes the owner.

Goes around by different names, but all the same guy ...

 

I'm the owner, read the thread here http://www.wjunction.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3487

I suppose I could take some more screen shots for you if you still feel that way after reading the thread.

 

I'm not interested in buying this site, but I have seen this site being run in the past. It is a great buy, and it did receive a lot of traffic and I do not doubt the seller at all. USAWarez used to be a big contender up there with all the other biggest warez forums.

Good luck with the sale

 

Thank you

 

Is this site easy to manage or should you have advanced knowledge of programming and such?
Will you show us screenshots and/or upload db to free host?
Will we still be able to use usawarez (looks like it is listed as spam) or will we need to get a new domain name for the site and start over from scratch with the traffic?
what are the legalities of operating this site in canada?

Sorry for all the questions, very interested and budget is available provided i wont endup in jail for owning it..

 

If you operate the site in Canada, or the United States you are fine. As long as the server remains in Hong Kong international piracy laws do not apply. The site does not physically host any illegal content on the server so regardless you will not be held responsible for its content. USAWarez does generate a large amount of income which could run you into some IRS or Tax issues in the future if you fail to file, other than that you should be fine.

As far as uploading the db to a server I am not willing to do that, for numerous reasons.

Site and domains will be ran just as before, and site is still generating 10k+ unique/day with both combined domains.

Hope this helps, and happy bidding.

 

How easy is this site to setup, operate and update and how much time will this site require?
what script is used (vb) ?

Bid: $1650

 

Okay, since you might afraid people might steal the database if hosted on free host, how about installing a web server locally and use the available free dns? This way we could all see the site.

I would bid however it is kinda risky without being able to see it live.

 

It operates on VBulletin 3.6.8, is easy to setup and operate as it is already established. You can use the same servers that are on HostFresh in HongKong if you wish or you can choose to place the db on your own server, whichever you prefer to do.

Just so you know I have ended the auction over at WJunction with the final closing price at $1600, so you currently stand to be the highest bidder, is there anyone else interested in bidding? This auction will remain open until tomorrow 7 P.M EST. If there are no more bids, I would like to finalize this deal and help you get the site back up and online.

 

Just to add, when this site was active, it was one of the most popular warez sites around, its a shame it died. Its a greal sale.

 

Well, somebody doesn't like warez here.
No need to get all hype and drop red rep all over the thread. Geez.

To OP, good luck with the sale.

 

I was a member, and a super moderator. Yes a great sale, but if this is Too selling it, I'm sure it is. I was there when everything went off, when he agreed to sell it two people, but what one of the people didn't know, is the other person who was in on the deal, was actually Too the guy selling it under a fake identity, very dodgey, he then banned the legit buyer from the site, but it wasn't random, there was a reason, but still, he lied.

 

Hello I am the buyer of the site. I won the auction over at wjunction. Sadly I appear to have been scammed. I received only the .com domain (half way through the transaction) but not the .net or the database/sitefiles. If someone could link the two links for me it would be appreciated. Don't have the ability yet.

FOR ALL SCREENSHOTS, CHATLOGS, AND A FORMAL ACCOUNT VISIT:

usawarez.com/information/

Note: Currently WU receipt images aren't up, I will scan and up them shortly. But either way Richard has admitted in this thread he received the money.

Note also: I have further chatlogs which I won't release yet, and I may have recorded conversations with Richard and Janet (the person who received the funds, his mother). I may have these, but I may be withholding them for legal reasons.

Note for Richard: I am actively pursuing this matter. You have two options, refund the money, or give me what I paid for. I am making this public, as I have in private to you.

Informal Account:

Having successfully won the auction for on wjunction at $1600USD I proceeded to contact the seller (Artifax). I agreed with Artifax that the way we would conduct the transfer was for me to send half payment, $800USD, via Western Union (which was sent to a female individual named Janet who shared his last name, who I later came to realize was his mother), and upon him receiving this I would receive the usawarez.com domain. This occured. I was than to proceed in making another half payment of $800USD and following that I would receive usawarez.net and the site backup database/sitefiles. Artifax however did not fullfil his end of the agreement upon receiving the second payment.

Shortly after making the second payment usawarez.net started redirecting to files4ever.org (I believe it has been sold to another party) and I was informed by an ex-supermod that Artifax was actively attempting to entertain additional offers to purchase the usawarez backup/database (I've included the screenshots of this in the formal account). At this point I became concerned, particularly as Richard rarely came online, and suddenly refused to respond via email to me after receiving the full payment. As such I tracked down a home phone number of Richards, I called it and spoke to his mother, informing her why I wished to speak to her son (having picked up the money herself she knew what this was in relation to). She contacted Richard and he came online and was shocked/angry at me placing a call and proceeded to abuse me before calming down and agreeing to finish the transaction. He claimed that the database he was trying to sell was in fact a second database, a released one and not the unreleased one he had promised me (obviously something I did not believe) and that he wanted to make "as much money as possible" from the sale of usawarez (even though we had already agreed a price and I had paid it?).

He stated (and this was the first I learned of it) the backup database/sitefiles were being held by the server company Hostfresh and that he had to clear some bills before they would switch the server back on, but that it shouldn't be more than two to three hundred dollars and that he would do so (obviously I feel as he wanted access to the database/site files himself to continue to sell them multiple times). He than appeared to make a legitimate effort to contact Hostfresh for a day or two (I believe encouraged by the phonecalls I had made), before disappearing completely again. I than proceeded to contact Hostfresh by phone and through his MSN contact 'Bill' and was informed that they had told Prodigy (the alias which Richard is known to them under) that they would not switch back on the backup box (which contained the database and site files) for anything less than $1500~ (I believe this is the reason for him re-disappearing).

Throughout it all Richard, perhaps assuming I an idiot or he is some master deceiver has jumped from story to story to story. Initially he had all control of the usawarez.net domain, than he could not push it because he was at work and didn't know the password, it was in a text file on his computer, than he was at home (when I called) watching a movie with his girlfriend and he would be online in hour to push the domain (he never showed up), than he claimed he actually never had control of the domain it is actually a friend Artimus and he would email him telling him to push it, than Artimus apparently replied saying it would be pushed shortly (never arrived), than the reason he was waiting was because he was worried that I had paid the Western Union with counterfeit money (mind you this is over a week later) and than he just disappeared. It was a similar story with the database. He has also claimed at different times that Janet was not his mother (when I have irrefeutable evidence it is from the website I used to track down his unlisted number), that his name is in fact not Richard and that he has "no idea" who I am and of course now that a bidding war continued and the actual sale price was $2400 and I owe him 800 more dollars - absolute rubbish.

These stories are of course no different to the stories told by him in regards to his claims that 6 planes with FBI agents flew to arrest him for running usawarez, when in fact I have (from a pay-to-access information database site) evidence of the real reason for his disappearance at that time (which I will withhold from posting until receiving appropriate advice). In short he is a liar and apparently a thief.

 

I am so relieved I did not send him any money..

ozodin I wish you the best in getting your money back.. Just keep harassing his mom until somebody sends the money back and/or contact the local authorities..
