Scammer Alert Simone Fornara and 5 Companies

Hi GFYers,

Don't do business with Simone Fornara, or any entities he is associated with, including: Netology SARL, Showmify Inc, Rocketgiants Limited, or PineBay Holdings.

He defrauded MojoHost using separate 5 accounts, each having regular and GPU servers, for more than $40,000 in service. Skype is live:.cid.e05ff377d42d2a1b

This concluded in September. I wasn't going to say anything, but ultimately decided to make a public service announcement just in case anyone encounters him.

Cheers,

Brad

Hilarious that he reads this forum and I've already received a Skype message saying that he thinks I have defamed him.

Good luck with that. Simone, please feel free to have your lawyer contact:

Brad
He was part of a webmaster group and seemed really knowledgeable about the industry. He'd show us designs for projects he was working on, he knew some really technical stuff about the industry which made me think he was legit.

At some point he talked about some of his paysites and that he had some member's area traffic for sale. So I pre-paid for some spots.

Never got a single click from him. Only promises until he eventually ghosted me.

To be honest, I'm pretty sure the guy could make a successful run as a webmaster if he'd stop focusing on being a scammer.

Still no payment. Made promises, but of course didn’t follow through on them.

Thread bump... Don't get scammed by Simone Fornara who has a rich history of being a lying, cheating, deadbeat who doesn't pay his bills.

bring back serges GBU page. thehun had a good one too for industry ripoff artists.

big part of this business involves taking risks with people we dont see face to face and thats unfortunate outcome sorry to hear. i've only lately been scammed by 'automation king' some dating app bot youtuber guy. should have known better. and just because theyre usa based doesnt mean theyre trustworthy by any means
