I have been very patient with rockstar45177 or joker3000 on different forums but he also called himself Patrick, but my patience has run out. I have been scammed $750 and disappointed because rockstar45177 is an upstanding member here. So here is the story:

rockstar45177 posted a sales thread here and at many different IM forums.

Here:

http://www.wickedfire.com/links-seo...a-pr-8-written-author-no-sheeple-allowed.html

I initially bought the article for $450 which was on examiner<dot>com. However that same day he posted that for $750 he could get a PR8, dofoll0w link on a Top 80 Alexa website which was about<dot>com.

So I told him to cancel the article for $450 because it was a nofollow and I sent him $300 more to get it on about<dot>com.

In the meantime, I went to a freelancer site and posted a project and found someone to post on examiner<dot>com with my keywords for only $100!! I was excited because I got a cheap article on an excellent site and then was going to get a super authority link from ABOUT<dot>com.

A week goes by and he sends me a PM and tells me that he could not get it on ABOUT<dot>com and immediately sends me the link for the article at examiner<dot>com.

I was upset because I told him that I did not want the examiner<dot>com article because I just bought one for $100 which was 4x cheaper than what he was selling them for. And the reason I paid him $300 more is because I wanted the ABOUT<dot>com article and NOT the examiner article.

In my opinion, as a customer I think I should be given a choice on what I wanted considering I paid $750! Yes, initially my order was for the first article but I told him that I did NOT want this and subsequently paid $300 more for the ABOUT<dot>com article. Patrick did not give me a choice even though this was my money. Don't you think I should be given a choice on what I wanted? Even though he couldn't get an article on about<dot>com shouldn't he told me first and let me decide on what I wanted to do? I did not get anything like that.

So I told him that and he said he would give a refund but then said he will be gone for 3-4 days.

This was May 20th.

I waited until the 23rd and sent PM. I did not get a response then I preceded to send a PM every single day until he responded on June 11th.

Patrick replied saying sorry for the delay and he was going to "get you a full refund asap." Then Patrick disappeared again and AGAIN I sent a PM every single day with no response and now I have to resort to writing that I got scammed.

I'm super disappointed that an upstanding member with over 800 posts like rockstar45177 would scam me.

I just wanted a refund on my order.

Well this is ironic... I remember this individual being mad at me in the other thread when I pointed out that it seemed he was involved in SYNQK:

Uhh interesting enough, this NEW EXACT SERVICE is being offered in BST with the same copy above... So I assume that this guy is involved... I dunno...

Carry on...


involved in what? all WF members have been either refunded or have been provided the service newspaper service that synqk offered at the time.

If anyone has anyone has issues with there order please feel free to contact me directly

Even the OP has been refunded and holds synqk harmless of any accusations

Reference thread: http://www.wickedfire.com/traffic-content/172026-synqk.html

Another thread started earlier about this rockstar45177 individual, regarding the exact same complaint as OP: http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-shit/173600-anyone-heard-rockstar45177.html

I had a feeling sooner or later he was going to pull something.
 
Shit dude, that's super expensive for something you didn't want...and what's worse, you dished out more cash for something that wasn't delivered.

Sorry to hear about your experience. I would think a refund would be the natural thing to do.
 
op - at least now you have some rep. Most expensive in WF history but I figure a 3 year member deserves it.
 
just curious, if he is already a scammer shouldn't his account be banned here?

Some people would say a 3 year old, 1 post account should be banned as well.



Im not saying you should be banned or that your compaint doesnt have merit. But your membership habit's are just as suspect as your claims.
 
There are like maybe 10 upstanding members around here, and almost none of them have ever started a BST thread.

Caveat Emptor.
 
^ please change your avatar back, its really freaking me out


and why not charge back? seems simple:

TAT = (X)
Elapsed time = Y
Chargeback = C
if Y > X
initialize C
 
sorry I am not very active but I do buy services from the BST's and regularly read the posts. I'm sure there are many people who are here to learn but doesn't have much to contribute since they always fail. Like in my case :(

So in this situation, I have put out a claim and rockstar45177 should respond. This is normal and I totally agree. But if there is no response to my claim which proves that he's guilty then shouldn't there be some kind of consequence? Or does WF not care that members with BST's scam each other?
 
everything was purchased via paypal and paypal does not charge back for digital goods.

PayPal does that! try to get an investigation on these funds. I am sure the funds will be locked and since there is no delivery proof. You should get your money back.
