SCAM ALERT: Steve Howe aka ADIDAS aka sunlightcontent.com - GoFuckYourself.com

m0rph3us · 03-03-2003, 11:31 PM

I really really wish it wouldn't have come to this but endless frustration has led me to posting bringing this warning to the boards.

This guy apparently scammed many people in the past so PLEASE DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS CHARACTER.

Details:

I had about 17 DVs sent out to Steve in order to be encoded. Date sent out: Dec 3rd.
Steve requested prepay for the first batch. No problem. I assumed he was straight up due to him owning the content site and some people doing biz with him ( BIG MISTAKE!)

Paypalled: $950.

Second batch sent... and paypalled $650.

This was 3 fucking months ago. 3 fucking months!!!! After endless excuses, sending a wrong set of encoded content via wrong carrier to wrong address (blamed on his assistant) and countless phonecalls to his house where either him, his wife, his mom or whoever had to come up with excuses where he was, why my content wasn't shipped etc.., I have finished trying.

I am on the phone with VISA and Paypal to have the transactions reversed. If they won't, then I will pay whoever takes the time to visit Steve Howe at his Imperial, CA, US residence and collect this $1700 for me.

Between Addidas and Krome, most people here know now already they are crooks.

Fletch XXX · 03-03-2003, 11:47 PM

He said he paid the late payments. But Angels of Porn said he didn't get paid yet. Then Krome said he was sending the check out.

I got three first names.

BTW, your not alone Morpheus, that guy ran off with $50 of mine, wasn't worth my time so I just said fuck it, but expect excuse after excuse from this guy until you give up...

boneprone · 03-04-2003, 09:38 PM

Damn...
Am I the only one he didint rip off?

He always did good work for me.

Damn..

psyko514 · 03-04-2003, 09:40 PM

For some reason, he added me to his ICQ list today.

From what I can see, he does video editing/encoding or something like that, right? I have no clue why he would have added me.

I am in contact with others who promoted his program including the guy who was actually running it for him(who was never given a cent either) and no one has recieved anything yet..krome's last communication via gfy 2 days ago was when he told me "why dont you check your mail". Well all of us have heard varying degrees of that same excuse from him twice every month for 5 months now...so maybe this time he's telling the truth...says they went out a few days ago and more were supposedly going out on the 4th (today) ..I'll keep you guys posted but no one I've spoken to is holding thier breath waiting

Nbritte · 03-04-2003, 10:09 PM

ok I will spam for a friend if you need video encoding try
spazlabz.com quality work low cost and if he ever burns you I will personally give you directions to his house.

Nbritte

thanks but I have directions to Steve's house too. Doens't help if he doesn't cooperate.

AaronM · 03-04-2003, 11:42 PM

I finally got my tapes back last month. The only way I could get a response was to plaster my complaint over multiple message boards, including his own. He removed the thread from his board but at least he contacted me. I did not get everything we had agreed on but I did get my masters back and that was the most important thing to me.

After that pain in the ass...I will NEVER outsource an editing or encoding work again.

AMEN!

BigFrog · 03-05-2003, 12:02 AM

i'm sort of confused why anyone in this business would outsource for their video editing needs.

do you guys just not have the time to do it yourself? too many hours of video to work on? or you just have never tried it before?

When he offered to do it cheaper than it cost me in my time then it became worth it.

That is pretty much what most outsourcing is about.

I am doing them all on my own now. They are done to my exact specs and the finished product is better quality then when Steve did it.....It just takes a lot of my time.
