    Hi there,

    I was looking for a php scripter to make me a multi forum script, a day had passed and then i logged back in to see that a member had pm'd me saying they can do this for me, and i had a 100$ budget.

    The member in question being ifreakz. So we got talking on MSN, he said he will start scripting, i was getting excited. He said it would take him only 24 hours to script a php multi forum script, this raised my eyebrows, i mean, the sebflipper script itself back in the day took months to script and this half wit done it in 10 minutes and expected me to believe him.

    He sent me the test page he had set up so i could have a wee play around with it.

    http://strifex.in/demo/phpbb3host

    Now, if anyone has EVER been into multi forums etc, they will INSTANTLY recognise that this is infact a free script, made by Mihalism Multi Forum Host © 2007 Mihalism, Inc.

    It is free to download by anyone at his site. Now after i told him i knew it was a free script, he then said it was his script, despite the fact the copyright had:

    Mihalism Multi Forum Host © 2007 Mihalism, Inc.

    This really pissed me off, so i told him he was wasting his time, but he then offered me free support for 25$ hahaha, what is this clown? why is he acting so stupid, but with this 25$ i dont just get free support, i get a landing page....nice huh?

    Just thought i would give everyone a heads up on this scammer, so beware of ifreakz on this forum

    thanks.

     Mihalism Multi Forum Host © 2007 Mihalism, Inc.

    StrifeX says:
     I do not need to change, because. It is his script that i worked on.
     And his script is free so it's not copywrighted
    alan says:
     ok
    StrifeX says:
     I will remove the copyright anyway
    alan says:
     no thanks man
     i can get the EXACT same script
     for free....why would i pay 100$ for it
    StrifeX says:
     not for the latest phpBB
    alan says:
     phpbb3 it supports
    StrifeX says:
     and since you have the script already, i can provide you installation service and landing page @ only 25$
    alan says:
     mate....
     the script is free
    StrifeX says:
     Yes, it supports 3.01 probably
    alan says:
     i can install it free
     i can do it all free
     stop trying to scam me man
    StrifeX says:
     lol
     check http://StrifeX.in
     None of the guys there complain that we scam. You can see our DP thread.
     http://asiamagic.com
     http://Feujbook.com
     these are our designs
     social networks.
     I was under the impression, that you do not have the script. Now that you do, i can give you a landing page @ 25$, you will need the landing page definitely. And also free support with this script
     This script has been highly modified, for security measures
     no sql injection threats
     You there?
    alan says:

     goodbye
     trying to sell me a free script for 100$
     have you got no shame?
