FOR ALL SCREENSHOTS, CHATLOGS, AND A FORMAL ACCOUNT VISIT:

http://www.usawarez.com/information/

Note: Currently WU receipt images aren't up, I will scan and up them shortly. But either way Richard has admitted in this thread he received the money.

Note also: I have further chatlogs which I won't release yet, and I may have recorded conversations with Richard and Janet (the person who received the funds, his mother). I may have these, but I may be withholding them for legal reasons.

Note for Richard: I am actively pursuing this matter. You have two options, refund the money, or give me what I paid for. I am making this public, as I have in private to you.

Informal Account:

Having successfully won the auction for on KWWHunction at $1600USD I proceeded to contact the seller (Artifax). I agreed with Artifax that the way we would conduct the transfer was for me to send half payment, $800USD, via Western Union (which was sent to a female individual named Janet who shared his last name, who I later came to realize was his mother), and upon him receiving this I would receive the usawarez.com domain. This occured. I was than to proceed in making another half payment of $800USD and following that I would receive usawarez.net and the site backup database/sitefiles. Artifax however did not fullfil his end of the agreement upon receiving the second payment.

Shortly after making the second payment usawarez.net started redirecting to files4ever.org (I believe it has been sold to another party) and I was informed by an ex-supermod that Artifax was actively attempting to entertain additional offers to purchase the usawarez backup/database (I've included the screenshots of this in the formal account). At this point I became concerned, particularly as Richard rarely came online, and suddenly refused to respond via email to me after receiving the full payment. As such I tracked down a home phone number of Richards, I called it and spoke to his mother, informing her why I wished to speak to her son (having picked up the money herself she knew what this was in relation to). She contacted Richard and he came online and was shocked/angry at me placing a call and proceeded to abuse me before calming down and agreeing to finish the transaction. He claimed that the database he was trying to sell was in fact a second database, a released one and not the unreleased one he had promised me (obviously something I did not believe) and that he wanted to make "as much money as possible" from the sale of usawarez (even though we had already agreed a price and I had paid it?).

He stated (and this was the first I learned of it) the backup database/sitefiles were being held by the server company Hostfresh and that he had to clear some bills before they would switch the server back on, but that it shouldn't be more than two to three hundred dollars and that he would do so (obviously I feel as he wanted access to the database/site files himself to continue to sell them multiple times). He than appeared to make a legitimate effort to contact Hostfresh for a day or two (I believe encouraged by the phonecalls I had made), before disappearing completely again. I than proceeded to contact Hostfresh by phone and through his MSN contact 'Bill' and was informed that they had told Prodigy (the alias which Richard is known to them under) that they would not switch back on the backup box (which contained the database and site files) for anything less than $1500~ (I believe this is the reason for him re-disappearing).

Throughout it all Richard, perhaps assuming I an idiot or he is some master deceiver has jumped from story to story to story. Initially he had all control of the usawarez.net domain, than he could not push it because he was at work and didn't know the password, it was in a text file on his computer, than he was at home (when I called) watching a movie with his girlfriend and he would be online in hour to push the domain (he never showed up), than he claimed he actually never had control of the domain it is actually a friend Artimus and he would email him telling him to push it, than Artimus apparently replied saying it would be pushed shortly (never arrived), than the reason he was waiting was because he was worried that I had paid the Western Union with counterfeit money (mind you this is over a week later) and than he just disappeared. It was a similar story with the database. He has also claimed at different times that Janet was not his mother (when I have irrefeutable evidence it is from the website I used to track down his unlisted number), that his name is in fact not Richard and that he has "no idea" who I am and of course now that a bidding war continued and the actual sale price was $2400 and I owe him 800 more dollars - absolute rubbish.

These stories are of course no different to the stories told by him in regards to his claims that 6 planes with FBI agents flew to arrest him for running usawarez, when in fact I have (from a pay-to-access information database site) evidence of the real reason for his disappearance at that time (which I will withhold from posting until receiving appropriate advice). In short he is a liar and apparently a thief.
