On April 11th Jon with AWStuff, Gallery Serve and The GFY Challenge ICQ'd me to see if I was interested in advertising in the GFY Challenge. After getting some info from him and talking to him on the phone it sounded like a great deal. He promised I would be the only host allowed to advertise and that he would throw in some free advertising at the Montreal show as well.
The next day, April 12th, I spoke with Jon 3 times on the phone. Once to confirm Western Union payment of $2,000, another time to confirm his address, and a 3rd time to confirm that he he received the money. After April 12th I contacted Jon numerous times VIA email, ICQ, and phone. I left him 5 voice mail messages and then yesterday, May 1st, both phone numbers for him were disconnected. I have not heard from Jon since April 12th.
He promised Machine Gun Kelly $1,000 to design the website and never paid. Machine Gun Kelly spoke with Jon numerous times, but has not heard from him in the last two weeks and neither have I.
We both felt with the people who were backing this challenge it had to be legit, but we got scammed.
Why do we think we got scammed?
The last time I talked to Jon was when he was picking up the money at Western Union. After that he never replied to me. As of May 1 both of his phone numbers were disconnected. He has been off of ICQ and the boards for over almost 3 weeks.
Jon took me for $2,000 and promised Machine Gun Kelly $1,000.
Here is the contact information we have for him. If you have ANY contact information for him please leave it here or contact me as I would like to contact him.
