This is why he is banned, but he has come back as 'sticks' I had a long conversation with the actual owner of the sites, linkbay ripped me off as well, and then again as sticks. I would HIGHLY advise asking for proof of ownership before buying any links. I would actually think smart SEO guys would make it SOP to ask for a slight modification of the HTML to prove ownership, unfortunately I was not smart and have initiated 5 disputes this morning. I spent time looking back and seeing what disappeared. From now on you will find me asking and when turned down I will post that I think they are shady. No reason we should not try and clean this shit up.
