I am getting burnt out..

[mclovin]

I'm not the least bit surprised, I got plenty of that here on the Forum when I posted my real pic, what a mistake that was.

Waaaiit a second... so you are implying that you get less harassment with a picture of lara croft... which could imply that your real pic was even better...

Do you want me to change WHOIS for all of these domains, so they would appear belonging to you? Then you would be selling them like if you were the owner, so there would be no "broker effect" (that is, potential buyers knowing the domains offered by a broker, and therefore assuming the broker added an extra amount to the price, for his or her broker efforts. Such assumption often makes buyers decide not to buy the domains, just because of that assumed "extra amount".)

Are you sure he owns the domains I wouldnt change whois owner of domains for anyone, Just sounds a little fishy, changing admin contact is one thing. i noticed throught the years that domain hijackers almost always try and recruit a third party to be involved usually saying its my business partner who did the highjacking
Just a thought probably nothing to be concerned about

always us www.escrow.com. Your fault for not being a business professional and thinking it out. Trying to avoid taxes never works. I hate to say it, but when you conduct business like this, you ruin it for the rest of us.

Not sure where that came from - about avoiding taxes and ruining anything "for the rest of us".

I think the deal is that Democrat trusted the seller and should have had much more control of the transaction...so as not to get burned.

It's easy. Stop dealing with that person right away. In the future, don't give any personal information to strangers. It's okay to give away your business phone number and postal address of your office, but your business partners and clients do not need to know anything about your family or your physical appearance. Asking for such information is unprofessional already.

Regarding the domain you brokered for him, it looks like it'll be difficult to get your $1,300 commission. If he doesn't want to pay, you can only try to take legal actions, but that may become costly. Your decision.

Forgive me, but I can't understand how someone can be good at domaining (brokering names and so on) and yet so naive where security is concerned. And the use of the one word mongoloid would have sent alarm bells ringing in my mind. Only the lowest people use that nowadays (in the old days it was out of ignorance) to refer to those less blessed with mental faculties than others.

I used to own "Cabbagecay.com" as one who hand regged it. Too bad, I dropped it.

I wanted to please, that was the bottom line. He was my 3rd new person that has came to me, not me coming to them.

Its a great name..

Well, that seems to be the normal behavior in forums and chats, at least from what I can tell.

That maybe so, but it should never be considered acceptable.

Waaaiit a second... so you are implying that you get less harassment with a picture of lara croft...

Absolutely, If I'd only saved the pm's back when I first joined, I'd post them for everyone to see.

I think the deal is that Democrat trusted the seller and should have had much more control of the transaction...so as not to get burned.

Exactly, you have to have some kind of hold on a transaction in case your client skips, and when dealing with someone on the internet, the chances of that happening is a lot more likely.

Just an FYI, I would never skip out on my taxes. As far as using Escrw, I'll use whatever payment method my buyer wants. I log everything that I sell. I like to also think I am the nicest business person you'll ever meet.

I think you quoted the wrong member Patty, it was not me that raised the tax issue.

Raider, I am sorry! I was just trying to make sure that I have no idea where the tax issue was raised but I do pay taxes ....grudgingly, but they get paid!

I got this from Simon today... Any feedback?

Patty, I have someone who is trying to sell our domains. He needs us
in turn to buy his domains, which will be done by me. That is if he
sells the names for e.g. 80K, then I buy his names for 8K. But the
domains appear to belong to you, so can you email him to tell that you
will buy his names in that proportion (1/10 of sale value, plus
commission of course). I can send his email for you to follow up.

Why would someone want to do that? The kind of stuff folks get in deep trouble for.

Misrepresentation is any business is a clear case of fraud if not downright illegal.

Patty, I have a feeling he is using you. Please cut him loose.

Are you trying to find end users?
broker{@}starpowerdomains.com

Why does your sig still promote him?

And I think this guy might be a member at most of the domain forums, his domain sounds familiar.

@Raider: There's always something people use to 'exclude' others, maybe your sex or your colour or your location... different strokes but I get where you're coming from.

@democrat: Like people said, only give pvt info including snaps etc to offline friends and family ONLY. Even social networking sites are not recommended.

Put it down to a lesson learned and move on. Next time ask for a down payment and settlement PER sale, not after 3 weeks.

Idiots abound in this business, as elsewhere, don't bother running after bad money, takes time away from the good money you could be making. If you do have a contract, pursue it via BBB, local cops (in his city) and any other method you can report him as a fraud.

Say yes of course, as soon as you've received your commission you will send that email and not before.

Let's face it, he's screwed you.... you might as well have some fun with him now, it's the only revenge you can get. If you do get your commission just never respond to any email from him again (and obviously don't send the 1/10 email).

And yes.. I think you are one of the nicest people :cheesy: Don't let idiots like this change your outlook on life.
