I typically shy away from drama, but I feel it's my duty to get involved here. Once again, people need to be warned of this scammer so they can avoid him at all costs.
Brandon first contacted me two years ago looking to purchase resale rights to all of my content. Despite his complete lack of professionalism, we'd hammer out a deal, he'd agree to it, then vanish for a few months only to resurface asking about the content again. He'd try to rope me into sending him the material first so his "team could review it," but I'm not as dumb as I look and don't send out content before payment. Given how sketchy he was acting, I did some research here and quickly learned of his less-than-desirable reputation.
In March I was contacted by somebody who simply referred to themselves as "PK." The email came from @contentlicensingllc.com, which I knew Brandon was affiliated with, but I assumed the business may have traded hands. Against my better judgment, I struck a deal with PK, agreeing to allow full resell rights of my content. The contract was signed, the payment sent, and the content handed over as per our agreement. I had a bad feeling about the whole thing and should have trusted my gut. Sure enough, within 20 minutes of sending the content, a full refund was issued via PayPal. Clearly "PK," who later revealed himself to be none other than the notorious Brandon Ackerman, was once again trying to get my content without truly having to pay. It's my contention that the refund was planned from the start, and PayPal agreed with this sentiment, siding with me and refusing his refund since I had undeniable proof that the content was downloaded and exactly what we'd agreed upon. It wasn't until yesterday that I learned he'd sent the payment from somebody else's PayPal account, effectively screwing them over in the process.
Furthermore, the contract I signed gave Content Licensing LLC and
only Content Licensing LLC the sole resell rights to my content. Yet, it's currently being resold here via user "desertfoxx," and he's also listed it on his website that I did not grant resell rights to. Apparently after downloading the material Brandon sent it off to others for them to resell, which is in no way what we'd agreed to. For that, I'm thinking it might be time to hire a lawyer.
Given how many times he's defrauded (or attempted to defraud) people, the question of why he's still allowed here needs to be addressed. Since March I've heard countless horror stories from people he's scammed. Please, if this flaming idiot contacts you, do yourself a favor and run for the hills. If you even suspect it's him, trust your instincts and stay far away.
orlandofetish, please give my condolences to Keilani Kita and assure her that, had I known she was unaware of the transaction, I would have never accepted the payment. I'm hoping she can recoup her losses.
