Scam Alert

[puki]

Bought a panel from johnnynothumbs through prepaid and told me it would be set up in hour.
It has been 28 hours now and no reply since the transaction went through.
I emailed him 3 times and no reply.
So if anybody deals with him , please be cautious cos i do not want you to be in the same situation.

Don't you think you should wait a bit more before posting about it?

Why should he wait? It's well past the time Johnny told him and he won't answer his emails. Shape up Johnny.

Agreed maybe thats why johnny has no thumbs!Where should we go next?!

Well it's weekend, and some people have things to do.
Maybe he can ask if anyone heard from him recently instead of giving scam alerts.

[dishuser]

he was here less than an hour ago

[epiciptv]

he was here less than an hour ago

I guess then we will soon find out if he is scammer.

[Dodgem]

[puki]

I think i have waited long enough when the seller tells me it takes about an hour to set up.
I wouldn't mind it if he replies and tell me it will take some time but he just hasn't replied at all explaining what's going on.
Looks like he just gave me the particulars about payment and once received just disappeared.

I would still suggest you to wait since he has been selling here for a while now.
I guess if he had time to reply then he would have time to add credits also.
What server did you buy btw?

[puki]

Like i said, he just replied about the payment methods and when i got back to him on the payment particulars he got it transacted and never got back to me since.
I will retract my statement about him being a scammer if he own up to his side of the bargain.
And still waiting for his reply.........

then explain why he never replied to this thread or the other one

[Emporium]

I doubt he is trying to scam you. 24hrs, during weekend, and you call someone a scammer.. really ? If I was the reseller, I'd just let you squirm a little longer, on purpose, if you did that. Ask in the forums if anyone has had issues with him in the past, and how quickly he typically responds in, would have been understandable. But going to the point of calling him a scammer.

It is the weekend, and the guys selling here are NOT strorefronts. They don't have hours of operation, and they do have a life outside of this forum. This is just a side gig. Most provide awesome service, and very quick.

Maybe because he doesn't appreciate someone calling him a scammer 24hrs after a payment ;)

[The Noof]

Maybe because he doesn't appreciate someone calling him a scammer 24hrs after a payment ;)

Then he should refund his money.A deal is a deal...they have to be held accountable.

[dishuser]

they should have at least responded
he's just making it look bad for himself

[Gabacho]

Johnny did say it would be 1 hour so now it's been many more. What about that?

Come on, if he can take money on the weekend, he should be able to provide the service on the weekend too.
i have a life too and all i am asking is at least tell me what is going on.
If he can't provide the service then he should have an explanation or refund.

[nobodyspecial]

Enough said!! Staff can handle this soon if nothing is resolved

Hello Satfixers,
Just like to update all of you that i still haven't got a reply from johnnynothumbs for more than a week now.
Please be cautious dealing with him cos i have given him a lot of time to respond and i don't think he will.

Yep - doesn't look good :seeya::flyaway::censored:

[Mr Hanky]

I guess its the 50 credits for 25 price you ordered......."If it sounds to good to be true it usually is"..... I would think Mr Epiciptv would know Johnnys status and credit situation?

[The Noof]

Ban him...common thievery.

I wish I did.
@puki did you buy epic panel from him or something else?
Is there anyone who bought epic panel from him? If you did, please tell me your username in PM so that I can find his panel info and BAN him.

[puki]

i did but how would i get a username if he doesn't even reply.

[Dodgem]

i did but how would i get a username if he doesn't even reply.I think he is also asking if anyone else bought from him that way he can see who he is.Hopefully someone else did.

looks like he has been

Excellent...change his name to "johnnynofix".

[dcapper]

Too bad banning him doesn't get your money back. A bunch of us were taken by a north seller a few years back.

I think if you look carefully at this there are very reputable resellers here, some jump on a reseller who is pushing, do homework and ask around, trusted people wont mislead you, but then again, if you lose money, it is a risk most take in the game, people turn. want a quick dollar, all the more to know who dealing with, people that have been around for years and still are, have been for a simple reason IMO,

some busted sellers have been called scammers before hence why I asked them who
they expect a refund from someone who is bankrupt...lol

Good point, lol,

Thanks for clearing that out for me.
Looks like @puki is the first/last victim, because nobody sent me any PM regarding this issue.

[Mr Hanky]

*** for 25 credits second 25 free take vanilla visa MasterCard only. Don't think you can trace his actions.

[The Noof]

There is a moral to this story:don't risk any more that you can lose without going into cardiac arrest.These lowlife come & go as fast as boners on a 60 year old man.Don't commit to the annual things unless you're not afraid to lose your money.Keep with short term deals untill you get a feel for the provider.Even then,watch closely.So endeth the lesson.

[The Noof]

P.S....I also feel that before ANYONE is allowed to sell OR buy services here should have a minimum of 25 helpful posts.I think it would keep some of the azzhats away.

Thats a good idea why not $$$ deposit enough to cover a yearly sub.
With the recent Puki vs. Johnnythumbless at least Puki would recover
and Jonhnny would be legless.Maybe even start a courtroom here let the ppl judge!

Great idea...might be the worlds only working democracy.lol

[runamok]

Can the panels be given to buyer upfront then buyer makes payment?If no payment shut down panels.

[Putski]

Well if I was buying, I wouldn't buy from a sub like johnnynothumbs..

Why not go rite to the source! Epictv

[Mr Hanky]

I wouldn't buy a panel from someone that has not invested money into their own internet site. If you have a panel with someone that goes on the lam , its useless to get credits or a refill.

[SAV]

I also got scammed by johnnynothumbs. Bought a year of Epic. Stopped working a week ago. Can't get a hold of him...

Okay guys, some of you sent me your MAC addresses. And we were able to track his panel through them.
When I talked to the Admins regarding this issue, they moved all of his user to my panel. So anyone who needs login/pass you can send me your MAC ID and I will give you your user info.
The only issue is he did not put complete year to your subscriptions, so I do not know who bought how many months.
All I can do is give you your logins and it will work for the months he added to your account.

I'm going to make the assumption that he didn't put enough credits on my account for a year so I'm dead in the water now.

I should've known better...

Send me your MAC I will check.
All users need login/pass now so maybe you have few months sub left.

Yes unfortunately you are probably right - but at least there is someone offering to help you as best they can. To be honest - I thought johnnynothumbs was here for a while and was giving some support - seems like he knew how to play the game :-(
IMO he wanted to make a big score by offering 1/2 price reseller credits - but thank God there were not a lot of takers.
As someone said earlier in this post - if it sounds 'too good to be true" - chances are it is NOT true - you are being HAD

I'm not sure if it will help by having them post a bond - ie. a $100 or $500 deposit - before you can resell. If someone wants to screw you I'm pretty sure they can do it no matter what kind of protection we as a group implement.
I think it will always be "BUYER BEWARE"!

[Mr Hanky]

I'm not sure if it will help by having them post a bond - ie. a $100 or $500 deposit Then you have sites collecting then going into hiding ....lol

[The Noof]

Then you have sites collecting then going into hiding ....lol

The monies could be held in escrow?

[jedi]

Then you have sites collecting then going into hiding ....lol

I meant for this site Mr Hanky.....LOL...........I don't think Satfix is going into hiding... but that is just my opinion..........

[nobodyspecial]

Would that not make the site party to selling then?

[android fun]

yes it would this is why it won't happen the site dose not sell thus we still have it

if they started to get involved they would get shut down


its part of the game like they say.............i remember this one cops episode where a crack head bought what she thought was crack but it was actually soap pieces so she call the cops and they played stupid and said ya that's not right lets get your money back and led them to him

ya they both got arrested lol


moral of the story, buy your crack from a reliable source

lol


do your home work and buy from people who have been around for a while.
and if the prices are too good to be true they probably are.

reminds of the time when I joined geeks and bearsox made me an admin without title
my first post was proving nokia wrong so publicraven tried banning me...lol
so I banned him and when I removed ban his reason was if he knew it was me he wouldn't have tried banning me
all because it was that I was a noobie with a first post discrediting staff...lol
