I think I got ripped off, what should I do?
 

So 4 days ago, on the 4th, I was contacted by Rockstar, who runs http://gallery-service.com.

He said his g/f got into an accident and he needed 200 dollars as fast as possible. He said he would do 30 days of submissions, template designs, host the shit & provide content if I helped him out with this problem.

I said it sounds too good to be true, and if his system works, why does'nt he just use his own method so much that he's got lots of cash for situations like this. His reply was that he has plenty of money, he just does'nt have "access" to it in time for this emergency.

So, feeling like it was a pretty good offer, and he needed the money more than me, I decided to help him out.

Then, I get this shit:

Rockstar 6/4/03 10:47 AM cool got it i will be back in two hours and i will hit you up ok?

Hybrid 6/5/03 4:55 PM are you there?

Hybrid 6/5/03 6:56 PM you do realize this is getting kind of odd, don't you?

Rockstar 6/5/03 11:11 PM 4 a minute my hand is killing me

Hybrid 6/8/03 8:35 AM hello?

Hybrid 6/8/03 10:08 AM I know you're fucking there, someone just posted that you were contacting them to get money from them too

Hybrid 6/8/03 10:08 AM It's been 4 days. 4!!! Do you realize how fucked up this is?

Still NO answer, I've even called him. I'm thinking about calling the police department where he lives and filing a report, but I don't know what that will accomplish.

Any advice?

I am brewing some espresso now and getting the canolis out. FUCK the popcorn

I dealt with him a few months ago and it was great.

I submitted galleries for him and he designed and hosted them. The sponsor paid him, and he paid me. After we stopped the deal he even changed the sponsor account into my name so I would get recurring.

Does not sound like a rip-off to me...

Maybe you're just a little to hard on him...

Seems like he is having a time where you get out of Bed,break your Leg right away,smash your Head on the Door and after that you break your fingers in it...

Give him some time... These days pretty suck,you know :winkwink:



Cheers,

JOKER

if u got ripped off u can hire me

Dude do you not read GFY? That is the fucker that ripped a LOT of people off. There have been threads about it.. it's an old game he's been playing for years as far as I can tell, and under many names.

crook...
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...ght=rockst ar

I'd say it's strange when someone tells you he has lots of money, but can't access it now and needs $200 from you.

But certainly there can be exceptions to every rule...

Thats funny he contacted me about 4 weeks ago and said the same thing to me. He said he was in a jam and needed 200 dollars wired to him western union and he would give me this great deal on submitting galleries.... I smelt the bullshit a mile away so i steered clear of him.

As a matter of fact he just contacted me about 1 hour ago and offered it to me again.

:1orglaugh he saw you comin dude,he saw you comin

Uh oh....

Ok,forget about my last Post :Graucho


Sooo,where's the P-corn? :Buck:


J.

Never do business with someone who says they are in desperate need of $200.

Especially when they contact you out of the blue like that.

i can submit galleries for a good price. i have refrences and wont demand all the $ up front.

How much for bulk?

icq 147546501

or aim: bmk6000

Didn't Nysus get ripped off by this fucker too?

Sounds familiar..

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...hreadid=139171

I just found this pic, and I found it funny and didn't know where else to post it
<img src="http://www.raceworx.com/funnypics/red_x.gif">

a-fucking-men. bullshit like that you can see a mile away.

hey hybrid, hit me up on icq.

:1orglaugh

its not funny tho, its really not, i mean its only 200 bucks, you can bitch and compain fie a report, the police wont really do shit, cause it looks more liek you loaned him the money on a promise hell do somethig for you in return, they will probably tell you its a civil matter.

ive been ripped off before, i just let god handle it, what goes around comes around, and i got my money back x10

So no real, practical advice?

And I have the convo saved where he has promised a service for the money.

This fucking sucks.

I think I'm going to move away from the TGP thing. Anybody have any suggestions for other sources of income? I've been considering AVS.

Logs can be faked, not saying they are, they probably aren't, but without a signature or anything like that, either take a trip to his house and demand your money, or wait it out?

Kill him, then yourself.

did you pay by Western Union?

I think paypal...

Yes, Western Union

it's 200 bucks. if he already has the cash (sounds like he does), you're fucked.

live and learn for next time...

that's pretty much your only option...

Well, I know 200 dollars is'nt a lot for you guys, but it is for me.

I'm having a hard time just accepting it & moving on.

grrr have someone go get our money back!!!! this is gfy, you gotta do something!

hybrid,
When he contacted me - which I found strange to start off with because nobody, I mean NOBODY writes me on ICQ with
'hey how are you?'...(people just don't write to me :-( ) and then he goes about how the bank machine chewed up his card...and he needs the cash...I'm thinking why not ask your freakin' neighbour 'til tomorrow when you can get it at the bank....anyhow....great deal....hosted gallery, submissions, 60 days special....almost had me going...I wanted his name first...He told me his name but the first time he fucked me over - I had him mixed up with va2k (because he said that's who he was). Anyhow...this is how it ended:

ME: You know what.........nevermind........I remember you .......I think this would be the 3rd time you would have screwed me over for money..........Nevermind......In 4 years....you're the only one who managed...... Thanks anyway.......good luck and I'll be sure to advise who you are to the rest

HIM: what? what are you talking about?

ME: The xxxratedstudio thing..... I never got the license for all the images......

HIM: i'm sorry i don't know what you are speaking about
(didn't know what I was talking about but had an answer quickly)

HIM: i also bought content from them and got screwed too

ME: Anyhow.......nevermind........your name is quite published on GFY and is simultaneously linked with 'fucking people over' I have a family to feed too. Can't go helping people who'll 'possibly' screw me over. Sorry.......Can't help you

HIM: ok no problem but you have me confused with someone else i am sure

ME: I'll get to the bottom of this.....if so, I apologize, but that's just the way this business is. Unfortunately, we're all trying to make some money.....

HIM: i completely understand and i don't want any hard feelings here at all like i said you would be doing ME a favor but thanks for your time


You know what.......nobody in this business or any other business for that matter, has ever done me a favor. I gotta stop feeling sorry for everyone G-Dammit!!!

:-)

told me he needed 100$ for something.. don't remember what and would submit my shit to hundreds of tgp's every day for a month.. never done tgp.. so 100$ wasn't much to spend on it.... i talked to him a few times so i hooked it up and sent western union.. a month goes by and no responce.. i icq him what happend to the shit.. 2 days ago he responded and said he busted his hand in the door and broke his hand and couldn't type.. seems like he has MILLIONS of excauses.. did him a favor sending money and can't even follow thru on his shit

Had this conversation today:


Gallery-Service 08/06/20 11:32 AM
not much i was wondering are you into tgp submissions at all?


Smith 08/06/20 11:33 AM
nope, haven't done tgp for over a year


Gallery-Service 08/06/20 11:33 AM
the reason i ask is i run a gallery submission service and i am in a bit of a bind and i can offer you a hellva deal if you are interested


Smith 08/06/20 11:33 AM
whats the deal?


Gallery-Service 08/06/20 11:34 AM
i design the galleries, and HOST the galleries and do the submissions his is what i offer i will do a daily submission for you for 30 days i will hand submit to the top 60 tgps and autosubmit to another 750 or so and what i usually charge is $500 per month and I HOST the galleries or if you want to do the hosting its usually $400 per month BUT my atm card was eaten by the atm machine and if you could western union me the money i would do it for you for 60 FULL DAYS for only $250


Gallery-Service 08/06/20 11:35 AM
in fact if you can help me i will do the the full 60 days of submissions for only $200


Smith 08/06/20 11:35 AM
no thanks, I'll have to pass on that, no recource if things don't work out


Gallery-Service 08/06/20 11:36 AM
well i see your point would you be interested in doing half today?


Smith 08/06/20 11:38 AM
no thanks, I have no idea who you are and the deal sounds too good. The last time I got a great deal like this the person ended up dead in the end


Gallery-Service 08/06/20 11:39 AM
ok i understand have a great day ok? and thanks for your time


Smith 08/06/20 11:39 AM
yeah you too

does the guy have an email addy? website(s)?

gallery-service.com gives everybody a bad name.. i don't do shit now unless i see work being done first.. or payment after a screen shot of the design that is done

E-mail - [email protected]

ICQ - 177606166

heh could of prolly figured out he was trying to jack you.. if you did a whois on his site... it's hosted by a bellsouth.net cable modem

quiet.......are you going to take him up on the offer? :)

i emailed him the thread, let's see if he responds.

he smashed his hand in a door, but he sure seemed to type fine to Smith.

Did you know that the online (internet) adult industry is desperate for
good quality content? Do you know the demand for adult content increases
every single DAY?

Less than 2 years ago I had NEVER sat down in front of a computer!
Now I work less than 20 hours a week and I make OVER $100,000 Per Year!
I work with and I know some of the most beautiful women in the world...
In fact, chances are YOU have seen some of my work ;o))

Yeah, that's the worst of it. I was extremely hesitant about doing it, but the fact that he was in a bind and I was helping him out is what pushed me into doing it.

So much for compassion.

He plays like he doesn't know what we are talking about.

Doesn't get rude or anything....which makes you think you may be wrong - but that's what got me the last time.....no more. :)

Tom Davis
if you want his info do a lookup on adultshutterbug.com , has his # and address there, it's not his hosting comp

cc it to [email protected] , his other email

should call western union.. show them this thread and get him blocked from recieving money thru there... bet they will block it after see'ing this.. he will continue to do it.. hundreds of new people join the adult game daily

Thanks, quiet.

I keep thinking of when I was down and out....and I had a son.....that's what normally makes me feel for these people (thinking there could be kids suffering for their parents mistakes)....the difference was that I didn't want anyone to help me - I didn't ask anyone for favors in exchange for anything. As long as my son was fed...that's what counted.
