Well as an actual cancer survivor and having a friend of 14 years battling the shit right now that is the most fucked up thing anyone could lie about having...just not fucking cool!

He deserves everything that happens as a result of his cons.

Makes me sick to my stomach to know someone could lie about having cancer.

I know what it takes to become a cancer survivor because I watched my son, Bob Schmuck, go through treatment for nearly a year. I was with one of the residents from the group home I worked at, when she took her last breath when her cancer returned and she couldn't fight it off a second time. My step-dad survived bladder cancer last year.

Cancer is not something to lie about. It shows such disrespect for those who actually have battled cancer successfully or unsuccessfully.
 


Banned?
Not that I'm aware.

I've got a number of projects to work on recently, so haven't been surfing many forums lately.

Chrislingle was something else... :) There are no excuses for lying and scamming people. The one positive thing I can say about him now that we know all this is that he did teach me a lot about arbi and got me started making money with it. But then again, if he hadn't someone else here on WF would have.

andrew wee; I thought you were one of the banned members who abandoned ship a while back. Haven't seen you post in ages. :)

wow... WOW I say.... never liked the guy and the way he treated a lot of people, but this is a surprise for me. I must say the threads he started on arbi and aff helped me out a lot too, but mostly from what others had to say, he was just the one that started them. I always wondered why he started those threads and then never really posted many updates in them. Maybe he was trying to build himself up as an authority... well it worked, for a while anyway.
 
well I have to say that things really came together for me after reading his posts on arb - never got around to his aff one, but I wish it were still around.

being a fake and a scammer is fucked up though - glad he's not around anymore then.

wish I had a trust fund...
 
Thats too bad that you guys think he helped you out so much, he did waste a lot of my time reading his obnoxious posts thats about it for me, like everyone said all he did was start that arb thread and he didnt put anything in it that wasnt easy to find out.
 
what a cocksucker.

I did a bunch of work with Lerch in the past, and we were on the honor system a lot of that time. We made a shit ton, and now we're on great terms.

It sucks that he (and engaged) got duped like that, but like someone posted before, they know their shit and will bounce back no problem. All Chris did was ruin a relationship that would've been very fruitful.

And whoever said they think Lingle should get some slack cut to him. Fuck that. There are many situations in life where stealing $50,000 will get you DEALT with, if you know what i mean. He deserves no slack and only deserves what is definitely going to be coming to him.

very good post. we might be the same age, because at 36 i am online longer than quite some of the readers here are alive on this planet ;) (does this makes me the forum grandpa?).

my 2 items:

a) take his personal information offline. if he is guilty, sue him, but lets not turn this into a witchhunt because if shit hits the fan everybody is gonna get dirty.

I agree. If there is any personal information in this thread or other threads, I think it should be taken down. Regardless of what he did, I think it would be better in the long-term to just remove it. I know people get worked up and want revenge, but such things are better handled with some discretion.


b) the whole story about his "fame" was imho always a false perception of the community. all the greatness of the arbi- and affiliate posts came from the contributions of the whole community but not so much from him. sure, it was him who started those threads but then everybody joined in and made this the great posts everybody remembers.

Thinking back on it, certainly true. He might have been the impetus to get it rolling, but lots of people contributed a lot of information there, so certainly doable again.
 
The quotes were posted on seasickmedia.com this morning I believe, they will be addressed...

Ok, so I have no intention of getting into a discussion of everything because it just is not worth it. I will however discuss the issue of fraud. Is it possible that someone did not get submissions from Feb 2006 that I said I would do? yes. Was it me scamming someone? NO. See I did 2 things with that. 1. I was learning what people were doing to make money. (I did quickly find that most people using dirctory submissions were not very experienced.) 2. I was ofsetting the cost for the webmaster support service I bought. Now if you look at the dates on the dp thread it was from feb. 06. I did not start doing arbitrage until April. I have said I learned of arbitrage from greywolfs 3 part posts. those were in early april 2006.

Must have a rough start in arbi, because on Manual submissions 200 sites $16 - Earners Forum you were doing them as of 7/12/06... think we wouldn't find that? On both places you have people claiming they were frauded... 1 time ok, but a few people... come on. Look at the indians on DP who do this, like sunil... no complaints for him.

seasickmedia said:
I had a few people asking me why they were not seeing backlinks from free submissions days after we did the submits. This is annoying because shit I still get emails saying a site has been accepted or declined almost a year after I did the submit. (by the way, the person getting the submits were responsible for writing what they wanted submitted not me) Now I had quite a few people that I did work for, hell there was even a post somewere were I said what I had made just from the submissions. So yeah there were some people unhappy, I figured the easiest way was to just post some of the emal addresses we created and let people see for themsleves that the work was getting done. If someone put in a paypal complaint they got there money back even though I did not have to do that. Should I have stuck around the thread longer show a little more of the work? maybe, but I got tired of the b.s. with people expecting to see results instantly, witch was not realistic.

Will I address the issue of cancer? No, cause there is no way to prove it short of showing medical records and sorry, 1 they are not here and 2 I am not posting them.

Explain why you have arm hair when you said you lost your hair b/c of chemo and that is why you were bald.

I will also say that engaged and lerch are 2 cowards. See they had to get someone else to ask me these questions. I would have had no problem showing them whatever they wanted if they would have simply asked. We were supposed to be partners. I did not steal $50k from them. Hell, if they had stuck to what they were doing they would have been making $.06 ecpc. With my stuff they went up to $.30+. Another funny thing is these 2 would talk about each other behind the others back. Lerch would say brandon was the one being a leach and brandon would say that we should not give lerch 33%. I was the one who insisted we not short learch anything. Sure the first part of what we were doing was heavy on lerches skill but brandon did not contribute anything to the money making process, not the programming or the sales content or the pics. Was the sales content 100% original? No, it was adapted from someone else, however that someone else was given his first money making process from me.

You are right, I did not contribute, but it was clear I was going to and lerch has been shown my stats that clearly show I was not a fraud.

seasickmedia said:
So think what you want, think I tried scamming the webmasters, I did not. There is a list of the domains on dp. all the emails are the domain minus the .com, info etc. so just look at the first email address, the site was fantasyespn.com, now check out the yahoo links, linkdomain:www.fantasyespn.com -site:www.fantasyespn.com - Yahoo! Search Results, now you or let the owner of that site prove that those directory links were not submitted by us. Sure there are some sites like businesscardsfree that don’t show any back links, don’t think that was cause of us but becaue his site sucked! it is now just a vistaprint aff page.

Could I have handled that whole thing better at the time? Sure. Do I admit to showing sites that were not mine and letting someone think or even out right saying they were? sure. Am I always 100% honest? hell no! Do I care that I am no longer working with brandon and lerch? NOT 1 BIT! I am glad I found out they did not have any balls.
Click to expand...

We do not have balls, fine, we are non confrontational, whatever. You knew this and took advantage. But showing me, as recently as a couple weeks ago, sites you said were yours and even said you put fake whois info, well that just shows what you are. You wanted to be in business with us but couldn't even show me a real site you owned and then lied about the whois. Nice.

seasickmedia said:
Do I come accross as being an ass, know it all? sure, I understand that not everyone is going to like what or how I say it. I do find it funny that brandon and lerch took my unwillingness to show them anything the other night as proof that I am not making any money laughable. First I thought I was being played with cause they never said anything. They had there mouth piece talking. hell I did not know what this was about exactly until I saw the jon post. then they said just show us and it will be over. Well no, I was unwilling to discuss or show anything to a group of people I lost respect for. Brandon says he showed his mouthpiece screen shots. Funny we talked for months and I never saw anything from him, he never asked. I kind of understand why he did not now. He has to find someone to have a spine for him.

Lerch has seen my adsense screenshot and that is because when someone scams both of us we get unsure, I wanted to make him certain I was the real deal, you however did not. Make any excuse you want, you would not send me a screenshot when confronted.

seasickmedia said:
sure I acted like a 12 year old on the forum quite a bit. Why? cause it was amusing to me. Sure I gave jon a hard time. Was it right? probably not. I am sure I will be the object of alot of talk on the 2 forums and the irc. don’t really care. This just reminded me why I got into this business, I don’t have to deal with people. So post your coments I might even answer some of the better questions here.

just when it seemed this was getting old ... maybe he'll even rise from the dead like jon ? (not trying to make a cancer joke either people)
 
These threads make WF looks like a lynch mob rather than a helful community.

To those hating on Chris, he DID contribute a large part to this forum getting off the ground fomr what I understand. He DID help people with arbitrage and affiliate marketing even though he faked it. People fake stuff all the time. It's the internet-the line between reality and fiction is blurred. My name isn't even Albert.

My advice is to let it go. Lock or delete this thread full of negativity and just let it go.

meh about the time he showed up is when the attitude of this place went to shit & this place had already taken off before him.

ooo He had two posts stickied go him.

EDIT: two not to
 
What is the web services company you purchased?
Im not going to go into the things you told us that weren't true but the list goes on and I am trying to figure out why you thought this wouldn't come back to bite you? I dont know if you had cancer or not or any of the other allegations to your credibility but I am really wondering exactly what you said that was true? And what you planned on contributing to the partership. Ya me and brandon dont like confronting someone on shit like this and may be cowards... but you played the hell out of us as well as your last guy. Made alot of money from both of the lopsided business relationships and had nothing to give in return because you only talk like you know your shit.

All you had to do was show us a screen shot of your 100's of thousands of dollars in your cpa accounts when we asked. Brandon showed me his adwords + adsense and well... I showed you by putting money in your damn bank account.

That site you started as a blog? and the other site you got a template for? wtf did you plan on saying when that shit didnt make a cent? or did you care?

All those businesses you owned and your track career at ucla... true??
I think you need to come clean with all of this or your the coward.
