[Sale] Active marijuana forum - PR4

awesome work dp police...

another crime foiled

 

It should be noted to anyone who has joined DP recently or was unaware of the whole "webjunkie" saga, he was a contributing member here for some time.

He was up front that he knew no html, etc but needed some help. He seemed like a nice guy and DP being the place it is, many of us bent over backward to help the guy. I know of at least 10 members that helped him by fixing code, promoting his sites, general advice through emails etc. All of these were on different payment methods.

Some people were promised links on his sites, others cash.

Basically he stiffed every one of the people who helped him (they had charged way below what they would normally charge to try to help). He sold the sites he promised to provide "lifetime" links on and whenever cash was involved, after agreeing on terms and the work was complete, he would PM saying he is just a student and can't afford to pay them.

Then he would sell the "fixed" or "improved" site for a couple hundred bucks and laugh all the way to the bank.

His other stunt is to sell other peoples copyrighted code or scripts as his own. He would then sell it over and over to different people as a "unique hand coded site"...Meanwhile he has publicly stated he doesn't even know the basics of HTML.

I wrote this short explanation just to show that we don't pick on people or criticize them for no reason. DP's marketplace has exploded over the last few months and is absolutely wonderful. We want to keep it that way and part of that is to protect members of the community. Webjunkie was and is (he still sells at other forums whose members aren't vigilant) a scam artist who preys on those who do the hard work to create unique products.

Buyer beware!

 

Nice summary.

 

Yfs1: Thank you for the summary and to all: great job for catching this guy...

 

Yeah over at DNF he is trying to sell some lyrics database and actually used one of my posts word for word to help sell it....unreal. I went off. This is the nightmare guy that if he gets your script you can kiss any profit goodbye. He essentially ruined gamescript for jon. He tried to get my databases too.

My opinion is that he some young dumb sheet kid that thinks this is a game.

 

Well, he did contact me via msn telling me once that he was stoned... as if it were cool...

That shows the kind of person you are dealing with

 

Nice summery yfs1, I submitted your summery as an article and gave you credit just to piss off web junkie. lol

 

Good summary, I think webjunkie also is offering databases on sitepoint.com but i'm not sure if it is him.

*You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to yfs1 again.*

 

Ive been on the side with this bloke, just watching all the things hes been involved with. And to find out hes posing as other members is going too far.....

Lets just ignore the slack druggo and leave him to lie in the gutter...... Ya never know, He might one day scam a fellow bum for a can of beans......

 

Lol... I see the names were merged so there is no question now.

 

good work ysf1 and also labrocca. I for one really appriciate you guys pursing the issue and most likely keeping others from getting ripped off. Atleast on dp anyway.

 

Yep, very good to know the watch dogs are on duty.

 

Oh I am your DOG now ehh..I see how it is.

 

Nice work guys.... you rock!
