Watch out for vBulletin Scammers at vBulletin.org

Have you been scammed by a vBulletin scammer? You can trust our Professional vBulletin Services but sadly I can’t say that for all vBulletin Freelancers. vBulletin.org is the official vBulletin hack and styles site for vBulletin owners, so you would think it would be a safe place for vBulletin owners to get help and advice on their forums, right? Guess again. vBulletin.org is safe haven for vBulletin scammers and those into vBulletin warez! If you mention anything to the vBulletin.org staff about the scammers or users who have blatant warez on the forums, you’ll get an infraction and a temporary suspension which is what happened to me. I recently posted a thread in the forums regarding a staff member we once had that has ripped off a number of vBulletin owners. He himself even admitted to stealing a clients Database to use on his own site! Who in their right mind would allow the guy working on their site to “borrow” their Database??

I don’t really want to give this guy any credit, but I have to name him or no one will know anything about him. His name is Dave McHenry (David McHenry) and goes by the name of FRDS at the Org, Sundance on netbuilders, seovb, ntfu2 & ntfu on several sites, as well as FightRice & BSMedia. It seems as he keeps running from usernames that have been banned..lol He’s banned on most those sites, you can search for his profile. I see since I banned him and deleted him from my site, he’s been trying to bad mouth me by posting bogus stories on a site called ripoffreports. He says I took money from him, and scammed him. The main problem with his stories is that I NEVER take a payment until the work is done unless it’s a larger job (over $500). I’ve never had a complaint about my work, and I’ve been working on vBulletin sites for more than a year with 100’s of happy clients. You’ll see dave mchenery is trying to build his cred back up by asking his clients to post recommendations for the “great work” he has done. This is a total smoke screen but apparently I’m the only one who can see it. I’m not going to go into details on how Dave McHenry has scammed a number of people, other than to say that if you’ve had him work on your site, you might want to check over your styles for his affiliate links, or links he’s sold on your site without your knowledge. You could be making him money at the sacrifice of your own forum and hard work. I’ve posted all this before, just do a Google search and you’ll find a crappy site that scrapes everything from our forum. I’ve since deleted the threads but like I said, there is a scraper blog called staff-lounge that has all kinds of proof and facts of the ways this scammer is stealing from you.
