I am from the USA but I believe that the site is based in the UK. I did a whois on the domain and proceeded to do a google search on the owner. I found that he also owns a site called tutsforyou.net. That jogged my memory back to: http://www.sitepoint...uction/3931?s=

Apparently he is bidding on his OWN auction. I should have realized that this was all a scam from the start.

Yep I've seen him bid on his own sites as well, really sorry you got scammed this is now our 3rd comp here thats gone bad and I promise to bring this to Dans attention to make a news posting on this because we don't want to see this happen. This member will be banned from posting further competitions here, there is not much else we can do unless they pre pay the prize monies to Faken before hand.

http://www.pixel2lif...ialfanatic_com/ are any of those your tutorials?

I'd do a search to see if he's active at sitepoint, from there send a DMCA Notice to Enom for hosting copyrighted content He also owns http://www.wdeluxe.co.uk/

Well it has been 10 days and still no reply. Looks like he has no intent of removing my work. I wonder how many other people bought into his scams.

Are these tutorials also published on your site? if youw ant help, contact me and I can try and help you get the content pulled.

He's been banned and his listings removed from P2L. My apologies to anyone that got taken by this sack of shit... we're working on ways of filtering out these cons and making sure people that run contests through here are legit.

Thanks guys. I got a PM from someone who apparently bought my tutorial and wants to reach an agreement with me. I will get back to you.
