Scammer Alert - Notsofast

    Notsofast ran a referral contest a while back.

    I know I vouched for him in that thread but he bought that site from someone who trusted him so I thought I could as well.

    Notsofast was M.I.A. on his forums but he appeared every so often. I personally asked if the contest was still going and if the winner would actually get the prize. Right away, he said, "Of course". He then went missing again, sort of. He wasn't responding to the complaints about the contest but he was still around. When I looked at his profile his last activity was current. It's irritating to see that he was online yet made no effort to complete the contest or just give an explanation.

    Anyway, it's been 3 months since the contest ended and no one has heard a word from him about the contest. The other admin compiled a list of the winners and gave it to Notsofast but he just ignored it.

    I just think it's completely unfair for him to do this to the people who actually tried. Looks like all he wanted was traffic for free. I'd stay away from doing business with this guy or participating in any of his "contests".:rolleyes:

    And he hasnt appeared on DP since April 04....your chances look slim, especially through here.

    If you have his email, keep spamming him and he'll concede eventually.

    Btw, hope the prize money wasnt too big. :p :D

    I hate abandoned contests! That's how I got my negative iTrader... A guy abandoned a contest that I should have won, so I left a negative iTrader, and he returned one...

    Grrrr...

    Anythink we can do?

    EDIT: I left a negative REP, but it doesn't mean much, as I only have 3 blobs... Still, he probably doesn't care about that anyways...

    2004? The contest was this year. Also, the prize money was $1000 for the first prize winner and $500 and $200 for the others or something..
