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

Sorry to hear Mojo got burned! Bad mojo for them!

LouiseLloyd 12-05-2023 07:02 AM

Thank you for sharing.

Brad Mitchell 12-05-2023 08:44 AM

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.

Brad Mitchell 01-11-2024 03:47 PM

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

Brad

Pay your friggin bill then you won't be defamed and see your name on the GFY post of shame !!!!

Speaking of scammers. How is Chris Malik doing?

AdultB2B 01-11-2024 07:24 PM

As you should Brad. We won't know unless someone outs them.

I'd post this on XBIZ too.

I have no idea, but I’m sure he’s not sitting somewhere thinking about our money he stole.

Brad Mitchell 02-20-2024 02:17 PM

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.

Brad

NoWhErE 02-23-2024 07:55 PM

Back to the top!

shimmy2 02-24-2024 09:12 AM

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

Brad Mitchell 05-30-2024 11:13 AM

Just bumping this thread so everyone continues to avoid this scamming piece of shit in all of his nefarious forms.

Cheers,

Brad

trevesty 05-31-2024 06:00 AM

Damn. $40k is no laughing matter. Fuck that guy.

TheLegacy 05-31-2024 07:16 AM

Sadly Brad you've been scammed by so many people who take advantage of your good nature. I am still waiting to hear what his nick on gfy is so maybe they can ban him for life including any other boards he has access to fraud others.

Hahahaha I have a funny story to share

So I have an Excel spreadsheet that I used to use to track and do invoicing for MojoHost, where I would paste clients with unpaid balances once they were cancelled. I had a billing clerk in the 2000-teens who 0'd out all of the balances, for no logical reason I could discern. It would be hilarious to look at again, someday, or to find an earlier iteration.
