Getting Cheated by Helping Someone
Friday, August 3rd, 2007Well have you ever tried to help someone and they cheated you? Yep, it has happened to me. I should have seen it coming though, but still wanted to help this person out. I paid for some sponsored and featured ads in her newly made directory in June. I paid up for a year. The total was over $140, the site was up for approximately 2 months, I got less than 2 months worth of featured and sponsored listings. Am I mad, of course I am! She stole my money! So I am going to spread the truth about her lies, and her credibility will be diminishing. I feel she owes me back my money as I did not receive what I was suppose to. Since, I can not do a charge back as it is over 45 days I will put everything I can that I know about her, except for the direct use of her name. There might be some to figure out who it is.
- My links are to the left, top 5 of the sponsored links, starting with “The Bear Facts”.
This person claims to be an SEO, but actually after some investigation it appears that it isn’t as it seems. It is a lot of talk mostly. What was found during researching was she actually had help from other people to do her SEO, yet she claims to have done it. I found her asking for help on an SEO forum, yep asking for help to SEO one of her sites. I think she blows a lot of smoke LOL!!! I am using one of her phrases she used when describing some of my advice I gave to her a few months ago, on another SEO forum.
Proof of asking for help:

As you can see for those of you who have figured this out, that she is’t all of who she says she is like an expert in SEO.
She should have followed my advice, as she is losing things like her blogs. The funny thing is that she actually claims she closed them herself to add Adsense, now why would someone shut down blogs that had PR and a lot of content. She claims she was going to move them. Here is the common sense part, a person would keep them up until all the information got transferred to the new blogs right? You can view this one: http://learnseo.wordpress.com/, if you read the TOS you would probably notice the do not use for spam, use to boost search engine rankings of 3rd party sites. Guess what, this was violated, yep too many blogs created to artificially boost links and ranking for her other sites. She should have read my article “To Blog or Not to Blog“.
At any rate I hope she can rest well after stealing money from me,(or others as I have found out) or of the lies she tends to do. She claims to design websites, this isn’t true either. There is someone who does the graphics, why he does them and let her take the credit is beyond me. Grow up and tell people the truth! Not only that the two are not even doing web design, they are changing pre made templates available from Shopster. Make a template from blank HTML, then they would designing, until then they need to stop taking people’s money for something they are not doing.
One last thing, not only have I figured out that she isn’t who she says she is, her past websites ventures have been failures. This was for 2 websites, a gift basket site and a mall site (huge, yep same domain she is using now).
There I feel better. Now, if she reads this and wants it removed she needs to give me back my money for the months I didn’t get, and the partial payment for the month of July cause it went down about the 28th.
