Default Web-Talks Scam

Hello

I purchase myself a sponsored ad here. Only to have it removed a number of times, and again now.

The admin then argues and makes things up to me about where it was and now it is down again.

I paid for this ad in advance along with around 20 others I bought, and I have never had an experience as bad as this.

I find that the admin doesn't care now he has received the payment and just basically swears at me in msn when he finally ads it.

Just a message to him, put my ad back up now or a paypal dispute, followed by credit card dispute is coming your way.

Calum

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

We were changing our host. So, the problem might have occured. As you can see, a change of theme. By the way, Can you give me your MSN so that I can talk to you in details?

And Garala (the other admin) isn't that kind of person. He had personally requested all of us to join your forum. (If you are from computalk)

- Thanks
Swastik

Hello

I can understand once it going down for a few minutes, but this has happened at least twice now over several days time.

My msn is metallica99 [at] hotmail.co.uk

Yes I am from CompuTalk, he seemed nice but the facts are what I paid for has been removed several times and it is a fact he swore at me on msn, I have conversation records.

Also, no real form of appology, I waited before I went out for him to put the ads up and it takes him almost an hour, when it should take a few minutes

Really, all you had to do is stop in and see that the past few days have been hell for the admins.

They had to upgrade VB and they had your ad up right away. Then their server crashed, so they got new hosting, and they got a new theme for the upgraded vb. SO ease up buddy.

Give them some time before you go scream scam.
I know both garala and swastick and they won't scam you.
In fact garala encouraged everyone here to join your forum. so he does care.
And you said he swore? What did you say to him to provoke it?

Stay calm and take it easy, im sure you will still get everything you paid for.


BTW, i like the domain CompuForums.com

Just noticed your ad is up their.

Well I haven't done hours of research before posting, but when I had problems, upgrades etc. the very first thing I did was reupload ads, not even post announcements first.

Those are their problems. It is the same as buying a car and then find out that the wheels weren't included because the owner was having trouble so took them off (ok bad example, but you get what I mean...)

To provoke him? Well after waiting over 30 minutes for him to paste a bit of code, I said I could easy open a resolution at paypal.

I have given Garala time now and time the last time this has happened. There is only so much I can take.

Look Calum, Garala is not so good at coding. So he may have had difficulty finding a the code and where to paste. Though, you are not on MSN, I wanted to talk.

Not dong research and posting about it makes you look bad. I would be afraid to work with you just cause of this.
And yes ads should be put up asap, but getting the database working right is more important.

Thats a threat and i would personally swear up a storm if you threatened me.
Wouldn't you?
lol well I know that if some one threatens me in person I get ready to fight, its natural.

I get where your coming from but screaming out scam was the wrong thing to do.
You should have contacted swastick the co-admin/co-owner here first.

Ne way good luck with all this, hope you guys can work it out

I don't expect to have to put in time to research after being scammed.

Yes, but he wasn't even responding before I threatened.

Swearing makes you look unprofessional.

Now, it gets worse:
