Extortion - what should I do in retaliation?
 

Recently I hired someone to do a job for me on one of my sites.

I payed half for it upfront. He fucked everything up and dissapeared.

Part of what he fucked up was a database that is very important to how the site runs.

I got in contact with someone else who said they would attempt to fix it for me, but he cannot do anything without the database to recover the site.

The person who dissapeared contacted me and said he would give me the backups of the database if I payed him more money.

I told him to go fuck himself.

This person works outside of the adult industry, so flaming won't help shit. It's also a small comfort to know this happens outside of our industry as well.

So, what should I do in retailiation? He lives in Australia, while I am in the US.

And I mean realistically. What could I do digitally to get this cocksucker back?

I'd send a kangaroo to disembowel him.

Hmmm, that's a odd one, I don't know what you could do digitally, did he log into your servers? If so, you most likely have his IP address in a login log. Like if he FTP'ed, SSH'd. Getting his IP address can open some shit up, if he has a static ip.

I have a cousin down under, you want to set up a hit?.........that's fucked up

30 posts and your already offering to have people killed ? :winkwink:

Off Topic but do you run tripplex traffic?

Yep, I believe I can get that, because he did ftp.

Digitally screw that

Pay the extra money to get the database back if it cannot be recovered. Tell us all who he is so we know not to use him. And then forget about him.

Unfortunately, shit like this DOES happen in business. You could spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars on "making him pay." But what for? Spend the time and money on your business instead.

hrmn

howmuch is he askin

pay for part of the work..just to get the database back


then have someone fry his boxes...not that hard to do

well, unfortunately it'll punnish all aussies, but I'd refrain from buying australian wine.

2 words: Attorney

If you had a written contracat you can sue, if you didn't have one, you ;earned a valuable lesson ... go buy his name.com and put up a site about him... then tell him it'll get taken down when you get your db and a refund ... if you have his last name find relatives and let them know the site which you made especially for him ... my :2 cents:

damn, that sucks man!:(

theres nothing worse then having to do business with people online that end up idiots :(

Problem solved.

And for all of you who mentioned attorneys and building propoganda sites about them, to hell with that.


Someone points a gun at you and does'nt pull the trigger, are you going to call the police or pop em in the fucking mouth for trying to scare you?

:thumbsup

go here www.ic3.gov Internet Crime Complaint Center, sucks when people are assholes

You can hire an attorney but then, do you have any proof of the deal?

That sucks big time man, best of luck.

For US$50k I will remove his kneecaps and retrieve your database :glugglug

i live in melbourne. is he in melbourne or sydney? what do you want done?
