i've NEVER scammed anybody, you always got what y ou paid for and because the new site owners doesnt want the links up in their site is beyond my powers. i repeat, the new owners taking down your links doesnt automaitcally make me a scammer.

now carry on and make a new thread...
You didn't sell most of these sites, you told me they were "being moved to a new server". You even tried to sell me more links on those sites while they were down by claiming they'd be up any day. So your story about selling it to a new owner is bullshit. Over half those domains you sold me never changed ownership, registrar, or anything. The hosting for them simply went down.

Selling hundreds of dollars of permanent links to people and selling the domain a week later is downright shady. If you consider $240 for a link up a week "exactly what I paid for", you are insane. There isn't a single person on this board who would pay that kind of money for those links for a week. Hiding behind a "new owner" is pathetic.

At the time I figured that you had gotten in a jam and had to sell the sites or just couldn't afford to host them. I didn't even bug you about it. But when I see tons of other threads and posts about the same situation happening to them, I knew your intentions were not pure. You can call it business by saying "it's the new owners responsibility". Fact is I didn't buy the links from the new owner, I bought them from you. I also know you NEVER told myself or the others that the domains were going to be out of your control in a few days. That's a fairly important thing to disclose.

You can say it's just business. In my book it's a downright scam. You had full knowledge of what you were going to do and tried to make a quick buck on those domains. For being such a reputable guy, you sure have a lot of people who have claimed to be scammed by you. If people choose to do business with you, that's fine. I'm just warning others of my dealings and a fairly long history of similar activity.
