CEO, Mediawick Digital Solutions Mediawick.com +91 (251) 6455 909 ---------- From: Date: Mon, Oct 29, 2007 at 1:44 PM To: Abhishek Tripathi <abby.punk@gmail.com> Hi Abhishek and thanks for the reply. Let me flush out my thoughts a bit more and get back to you. ---------- From: Abhishek Tripathi <abby.punk@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Nov 6, 2007 at 11:55 AM To: Hi XX, Any update on the project ? Abhishek ---------- From: XX Date: Tue, Nov 6, 2007 at 1:56 PM To: Abhishek Tripathi <abby.punk@gmail.com> Hi Abhishek, I'm seriously considering moving forward with this. I have a lot of questions that I want to ask you, but I want to get them all together so that I don't overwhelm you with email after email. I want to have a pay portion of the site, either membership or buying information packets - or both and I want to flush this out a bit and get my initial copy written. I want the site to be in a usable format when I open the doors and not look like a work in progress. I plan to have one free white paper and about 10 others written before it starts. Users will be able to purchase the entire set and subscribe to a monthly newsletter containing other white papers. The blog would feed this by posting executive summaries of the papers and other information. Is this something that you've set up before? Again, if I get out of line, feel free to make suggestions. I hope to be able to move forward in a few weeks - these papers are taking quite some time to research and write. Thanks again,
This scammer ripped me too. I paid 25$ for article writing..still not articles delivered . I asked him several times to refund me....not yet refund...I will wait more 3 days..then will give negative itrader and also paypal complain.
Unfortunately, I too have been a victim of this guy. He passes himself as an intelligent 17-18 year old guy who manages an office with lots of guys working for him. He conveniently comes up with excuse after excuse. How does the Mumbai Cyber Crime Cell work? Is it only for Indian residents or can people file a complaint form anywhere. It appears some people have been conned out of up to $2000. Thats a lot of money and I am sure some of the victims have had their hopes dashed. Something has got to be done? I have just filed a dispute with paypal and am going to proceed to a claim if he does not resolve it soon. I begged him to give my money back for about 7 months now without success. Its just not fair when people struggle to make money online and then there are guys like him who make 10s of thousands by ripping people off.
Has anyone actually any experience of using them (Cybercrime)? What are their fees, how do they go about the process, etc? Also, since so many people have a case against him, surely, paypal ought to do somthing about it too. In most cases, people paid him via paypal. If all the victims take action, I am sure something can be done. I know that when he had that 50-100 blog offer, amny people paid him to get their blogs done. Also, he operates SEO Hut and I also notice he recently created an article content service on DP. Has he done anyones work, or have everyone been ripped off?
I really do not think you should be on this forum anymore. You admit you scam this people and used many names as well. How many more have you scam that is not here today. Now you asking for another month. You still has not give me the full service for my money you can refund me as well and i asked you about that long time ago. I will find the post that you sold me your "SEO" and then i will give you - itrader. People should be told about you thats for sure.
If it's too good to be true, it probably is ....... If you follow this phrase, you'll get scammed a lot less ..... And all his offers were too good to be true .... IMHO
I also was scammed by this character who is a liar. He claims to be a 17 year old teenager when in fact if you look at old posts by him, he uses that same age for many years. He got me for $700. The way he did it was, he did in fact complete the work on my blog (HickTownPress) and then when I went to have him create a website for me, he lied about being depressed and a ton of other lies. He is a sociopath. I am going to research to discover how I can get his account at PayPal suspended. Our best bet is to get his PayPal account shut down. Please contact me via email. I'm on gmail and the address is Hicktownpress. If a group of us report him, PayPal will have no choice but to stop this criminal. As I said, he completed my blog....but then he wanted money up front for my website. I trusted him b/c he had completed my blog. Yet, since September he has had my money and has used a trillion excuses as to why he has not completed the website or returned my cash. He claims to be a teenager. That right there tells you he is a grown man refusing to grow up. Then he claims to be depressed. He claims to be hospitalized often and that the hospitalizations keep him from functioning. ALL LIES. He is a sociopath.
Yes, he uses depression as one of his excuses or being at the airport when you need to talk to him. However, in the last couple of months I have not been able to get hold of him. He is no 17 yeard old, its more likely he is a veteran of criminal activity. Anyway, wouldn't it be better to try and get our money back some way before having his paypal account closed? I am sure paypal would have no option but to have it closed when they relaise how many people this crook has victimised.
I filed a complaint long time ago with PayPal - at least two of his accounts are already closed, so you will probably be out of luck there. I heard from him over the weekend that he will indeed refund me again today (Monday) - we'll see. I've been getting a lot of PM asking for more email notes. I'm trying to give the kid (if he is a kid) one more chance before I post the heart of his scammer emails - we'll see what happens today. If you do happen to get anywhere with PayPal, please let us know - there were of no help at all to me.
Paypal doesn't do anything. Most probably the guy would have withdrawn the funds to his banka ccount by now.
i can't understand why people are giving him anymore chance, you need to act now or you will loose in this battle..
Paypal is useless. How often is it that victims of fraud never get any help from them. I thought they were regulated by financial authorities. Surely they got to do something about crooks like these, otherwise people would just lose confidence in them. Our best bet is to have this guy blacklisted in India by filing something with Mumbai Cyber Crime Cell. I am not sure if people will see their money back but at least he needs to pay for his actions.
I have followed this thread for long and although I have not brought any package from this guy, I was on the verge of going for one of those blog packs. qwestcommunications, Cybercrime is pretty nascent in India, even if it is there. People in India will not believe that someone paid thousands of dollars for Internet work. So even if the Mumbai unit gets on him, I doubt the refunds will happen. My query is if he is a teenager what is he doing with thousands of $, which is a huge sum by Indian standards... Anyways I hope all you guys get your money back. Perhaps the lesson for us here is maybe to go escrow?
What annoys me is this guy probably using other aliases to do do the same to other people. I guess escrow is the best way to go with internet payments. Only forward the money when the work is done satisfactorily, I guess.
Here is the link for phone numbers of Mumbai Police for what it is worth. http://www.mumbaipolice.org/imp_telnfax.htm I think you'll find the cyber crime unit numbers are 22630829 and 22641261. Good Luck
I am going to find a friend in India to track him down! I don't care what it takes to get him sorted out and giving refunds to everyone he has scammed! He should learn, I had a cousin killed from this, it is so cheap to hire an assassin in India, mess with the wrong person/people and all the money you made and stuff is worthless, you just see black! I am not even joking about that! Learn Abk, before it is to late!
He tried to scam me way back in 2005. It was for integration,but i know he is going to rip me off since he keeps complaining about my script and design and tried sell on of his own template + script obviously i was not in the position to buy it from him. he has a some ids in scriptlance, I think its coolbhi or coolabhi. not sure on though. but many of my friends got ripped off with his new way of scamming.
