SCAM ALERT: Steve Howe aka ADIDAS aka sunlightcontent.com
 

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.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

How many times are you going to announce and state this?

first time. I'm another victim apparently.

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

Damn, and I saw Krome posting last night.

He didnt turn over his sites?

hahaha, yeah I forgot about Krome's site give a way promises, did that ever happen? Is he partners with this Steve Howe charector?

they sure seem to have the same values.

Anybody around Imperial, CA that needs a quick $500?

I don't like waiting on the VISA chargeback papers. :BangBang:

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.

Sure,

The check is in the mail.
I won't cum in your mouth, trust me.
You must have gotten to the bank before my deposit cleared.

Dont think he lives in that city in cali anymore

Well I called some 760 area code to talk to him .. that's Palm Springs/Imperial/Vista

Area Code: 760

Prefix: 355

Location: Imperial

how long ago?

Also he goes by Allen too correct?

1 hour 45 minutes ago

no clue. I just ask for Steve. I just want my fucking cash back. Motherfucker :BangBang:

In my experience,

two first names = scammer

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...

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

He always did good work for me.

Damn..

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

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.

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.

Strapping on my Big Bossman uniform and equipping self with Tazer Auto timed release mechanism and 30 canisters of pepper spray.

Does anyone have the website address of the bounty hunting licensing agency listed in National Enquirer?!?

AMEN!

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.

well Aaron, if you ever need some help dude, send me some video and i'll show ya what I can do.


is that really the case for everyone though? cost/time ratio?

Of course. What other reason is there to outsource something?
