Can you help me dig up info on this website?

    Hello Everyone,

    I recently hired Daniel from www.flookie.co.uk to design my network of websites, since then he has been banned on these forums (user = luk-3) and he is not replying to my emails or to my text messages, which is starting to annoy me because I have a deadline for this project!

    If anyone can help me dig up information on his website I would appreciate it, I received an email on monday, but I expect to have more that one email every week from him.

    So far I have his full address and I am thinking of contacting the police if nothing better happens.

    Thanks

    Jonathan

    And what are the Police going to do? not a lot I can assure you.

    If you have his home address, go around and confront him.

    Actually I contacted the local police force about a suspected fraudster who was believed to be operating on these forums. The next day i got a phone call thanking me for the information and that they were going to start legal proceedings!

    Do a whois search for the domain, it's Sunday - he may just be away from the PC.

    It looks like a very decent design service. Maybe there's a reason why he can't get in touch with you. It doesn't look like the kind of site that would take on projects and ignore their customers. Wait a while, if you don't get a reply within a week you could try looking up his phone number.

    thanks for the feedback.

    I have found out he is only 18 (although everywhere on the net says he is 16!) and I think his social life is coming above his company! Not very impressed, only seems to reply when I threaten action

    Hi Nora,
    I have called him a total of 13 times this morning, every time he has let it ring through to the answer phone.

    I have done this for the past few days and only get replies telling me he will send the designs later, but he never does.

    I have his full address, but it is useless having it.

    I am not happy with how I am being messed around

    I assume that was a reply to my post before I edited it.
    I don't think the Digitalpoint user luk-3 owns flookie.co.uk. If all communication you had with this user was through digitalpoint then you were probably being scammed.
    Of course there's always a chance he really does own the domain but stole the portfolio. A real designer that has clients such as Redbull wouldn't treat clients the way he does, nor would he have to find jobs on DP. l'll try to dig up more info.

    Oops, I'm so stupid. Just noticed you posted that information there. If I find anything new I'll let you know.

    Ok thanks Nora, the strange thing is, on another thread he created an iphone application website for someone here, and they liked what he did, and added it to the portfolio, which is why I chose to use him as my designer

    It seems that because he has been banned he never comes online or bothers to talk to me

    Does he log on to his MSN?

    I'm probably wrong but I have a feeling this user might own the site where he hosts flookie.co.uk: g3network.co.uk

    He hasn't logged onto MSn for quite a while to be honest

    I keep hearing different things from him, really does annoy me.

    I have a feeling he lives at home with his family though, so if I could get his home phone number it would be good

    Not sure how it goes in the UK, but you could try a reverse phone number look up using the address you know. I tried that using the address listed in the Whois but it seems to lack information.

    Reverse phone number? I have his mobile number but he never answers it, but if I got hold of his home number then I bet I would get a response. Only problem is I cant get hold of his home number

    It should be possible if you know his last name, street name and street number :)
    I sent you pm about something I could try for you.
