I was really ignorant and basically didn't know shit back then. And when I called the apt manager to see if the car was even parked there, the girl threatened me, that she would have all these gangsta guys come down and I would have to go get my guy friends or whatever... This was around 10 yrs ago...

I couldnt take it so I quit work and never came back.

I don't mean to laugh, but that is fucking hilarious. :1orglaugh

Bits and pieces over the years. Thankfully nothing too major.

Still (in theory) waiting on this guy: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hlight=entropy

Unforunately - no one has me beat in terms of pure dollar amount - matter of fact, you could take everyone who's owed money to them by IBILL - and all of them gather up 10 seperate friends who's ever been ripped off - mulitply that dollar amount by 50 and then maybe you'd be close.... but I doubt it

Well when your 18 your basically a kid, I was anyways, and didn't know about contracts or how to buy something from someone properly. Plus I lived in a dysfunctional home so I had no support from my parents, as in to how a buy a car, helping me get my drivers license by taking me to the dmv... or anything like that at all. If I wanted to go to the dmv back then I probably would have to take the bus, I also had no friends back then to give me a ride or help me. I was basically on my own.

Some 18 yr olds are very intelligent and street-smart, I wasn't one of them, thats for sure.

I was also very sheltered and didn't have a lot of friends to really to give me advice or guide me. I was basically bullied by that girl and to be honest she kind of scared/intimidated me so I just didn't say anything. We worked together at some crappy place together and she was one of the few friends I actually did have so I guess I didn't want to not have ANY friends so I went along with it even though I had a bad feeling about it.

It's been over 10 yrs now and I've learned a lot since then :1orglaugh

There's one affiliate program that owes me $75,000 from last year. They're slowly paying me back now, like $3k/month average, but I still consider it being ripped off.

someone on gfy owes me $4500 for contract work.. balance of a $6k contract. i already paid the labor out to people i contracted to complete the deal. can't fuck them over just because you can't trust people for shit :mad:

jonesy 05-11-2006 12:36 AM

i like it best when the perpetraitor lies like fuck when when theyre caught/owned ect but you play it off like its cool, tell them that its all good but you know its bullshit.

then when you see them in person, you fuck them up.
or if someone asks about them, the truth is a motherfucker.

no bad deeds should go unpunished.

Vitasoy 05-11-2006 12:44 AM

Nothing too big, but quite a few times less then a K

The biggest attempted ripoff (I went to court and got the money in the end) was a publisher who 2 years running didn't want to pay royalties on a book I wrote. Almost $150,000 was at stake.

The one which rankles most is when Adult Check kicked out most of their webmasters. I had given up on them a couple of years earlier so I doubt that cost me more than a few hundred bucks. It was the way that some webmasters were willing to collaborate in screwing others which p*ssed me off because it set about the last precedent this industry needs. Fortunately no-one else has yet sunk quite that low.
