Since everyone laid down their verdict, here is mine.

I think Patty was just overzealous when she began offering her brokering services. I seriously doubt that any of this is a mean spirited effort to scam domainers of their money. Just that her business practices are incompetent and many of her references pertinent to her transactions does sound untruthful any which way you look at it. It could be a defensive trait, but sorry, like everyone else here, I have to speak my mind.

Patty, you must resolve your business disputes with the people affected and it is they alone who can condemn you. Although people will be wary of doing business with you in the future, you still have enough room to right this so as to not lose your forum privileges. If you don't have the funds, then be upfront and let the disputed parties know in which time frame you will find an acceptable solution.

Hence, do not make any promises for domain sales unless you have a ready and willing client. Being a licensed Real Estate person, I know that brokers are not supposed to take fees upfront. It is not against the law, but unethical. If you call yourself a broker, then your remuneration is commissionable only, and upon completion of transaction. Do not act as a broker and an Escrow at the same time. This is what you were doing for your disouted clients. It is against the interest of the broker business model. There are plenty of options available to channel funds for a successful outcome of a trasaction so that all parties concerned are satisfied.

Cease to call yourself a 'broker' if you are accepting advance payments for your time and effort. Be precise about your fees (as the non practicing lawyer you claim to be), just as a lawyer would do.

Your business pracrices are haphazard at best. You will need to write down a business plan and a structured method of operation down to minute specifics and not do as you please. Your clients will respect you for it even if you are not successful at a sale. Trust me, most brokers fail to make a sale.

Prepare a resume of your brokering efforts. If you have not signed a confidentialty agreement of your past sales, you are not bound by any privacy laws. By not disclosing your past sales efforts, you are only hurting your business credibility, no matter what reasons you choose to defend with.

Losing DNF privileges is not a good thing for an aspiring entrepreneur like you. But, by the same token, your business practices are not at all kosher.

You have not committed a crime or a scam in my book. But, your business practices need an overhaul. It sucks.

Read my words over. Make things right.

My thoughts too. Been watching the Patty show for some time. Maybe not a scammer, but certainly over reaching and trying to do things she is not qualified to do, with horrible business sense and skills.

You gotta pay your dues and learn how to grind out a living before you jump headlong into bigger deals. I'm surprised anyone is still trying to deal with her after all the posts I've seen - nobody has that much bad luck without bearing some responsibility for it.

Patty - you need to go back to basics, build slow and only take on what you can absolutely deliver and over-deliver. You also don't seem to keep the working capital necessary to react to refunds and unexpected expenses.

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive.
...or try to hide in the web.

Are you moneybully on the ewealth.com forum?

http://www.ewealth.com/member.php?u=15827
Y'all are just on too many forums and networking sites. I have never heard of half of these.

No wonder there are no secrets on the interweb.

Wow on MySpace you have only 29 friends...you rocks! :D
Probably my dog have more friends than you...and my dog don't play music. :lol:
I was not aware that anyone used myspace anymore.

Only recently did I get on Facebook. I think I have 4 friends...
but they don't really like me...
I had to pay them.

I have a confession to make.

I have never taken Steroids, Female Hormones, or performance enhancing drugs.

Does that make me less of a domainer?
