I have been Cheated By Freelancer Website (Admiz.com)

    Hello Guys,

    I am on Internet from last 5 years but i never cheated by anybody. Thanks To GOD but recently i have been cheated by freelancer website called (Admiz.com).

    I have transferred $268 from my E-gold account to my Admiz account but they didn't showed this balance into my account.

    I have contacted them so many times on their email id as well created so many tickets but no response from their side.

    Finally i contacted E-Gold Team. They told me

    "Please email www.admiz.com and Cc us on your message. If they do not
    respond we will attempt to contact them on your behalf."


    We waited for their email around 7 days but didn't receive any response from their side.

    I received this reply from E-Gold Team.

    We have investigated and blocked account number 3848109. Unfortunately we will not be able to refund your money because all e-gold spends are final
    and not reversible as stated in the e-gold account user agreement. You
    might want to consider obtaining some combination of help from a legal
    professional or law enforcement to obtain a court order or subpoena, if the
    size of your loss warrants expenditure of your resources (time and money) to
    resolve.

    here is the proof for this

    Now we i have asked my brother who lives in Canada to take action against this company.

    Can you guys let me know how can i file complaint against them when i am not residing in their country?

    You could start off by contacting their host, if it is a hosting company, and then they might be able to give you specific contact information, or even take their website off the net, preventing others falling into the same trap.

    Also, this is just another reason why it is always worth using paypal, at least then you can normally attempt to get some part of your money back.

    Sorry you got scammed like this.

    Thanks Diarmuid for your concern i am reporting their hosting company. I really don't want all the freelancers and employer to loose their money on their website.

    One of the interested fact i came to know that their paypal email id is also suspended and they have created a new one. I will also inform paypal about this scam.

    Thanks Conkster for providing that selling information. I think he is just making fool to all buyers. He is not selling his website.

    "I contacted the hosting of this provided and i got this reply from that hosting company.
    Unfortunately we do not release any client information unless we receive legal notice. This matter is between you and the service they provide for you.

    I have forward your email to our legal department for further review.

    That is correct, they shouldnt release their clients detail but then you should not have been asking them to.

    You should be stating their in appropriate behaviour, what you want them to do about it (pull the site etc) and at worst threaten to say they are aiding and abetting the sites criminal actions by failing to take action and you will include them in your litigation as co-defendants.

    If you are wanting their details do a whois on the domain:

    If your brother is in Canada for about $60 (varying price depending on the province) he can file the papers for small claim court.

    But he will need the person's name and address and the papers will need to be served to the person. Again depending on the province, in Ontario, the court will no longer serve the papers so he will need to send send a legit courier service or registered mail to get a signature on file. And even then, the guy/gal might say he never signed for them - you need to ask for the person exact and get his/her signature.

    Next the person will have 10 days (again in Ontario) to return the documents to the court. If he/she does not return them, a court date is then set.

    If he agrees with what you say, he has so much time to fix the problem. If he does not agree, then again a date is set.

    BUT, the biggest problem here is not the expense or time but rather even if you win, it does not amount to much. The decision is only in your favor. If he chooses not to pay, then you have to go back to court to fight to have his wages garnisheed. Just because you received an initial judgement, it is not up to the court to enforce it.

    This is the reason people just got mad and let scammers go because the system is against them in reality.

    I hope this explains it for you. It might not get your money back :( but at least you know how it works.
