21 Sep. 2007 sent a payment via Paypal of $150.00 USD to Michael Mann, Web Media Projects.
14 Sep. 2007 sent a payment via Paypal of $50.00 USD to Michael Mann, Web Media Projects.
13 Sep. 2007 sent a payment via Paypal of $100.00 USD to Michael Mann, Web Media Projects.
Total payments sent to Michael Mann, Web Media Projects of $450.00 USD.
The payments were made in relation to an online booking system that an employee of Web Media Projects (Jeff Paris) was supposed to create for me. The employee has since left the company and did not create the online booking system I requested.
I lodged complaints with Paypal on 20 Oct. 2007 stating that I had been a victim of internet fraud because Web Media Projects had taken my money and not provided anything in return, the complaint reference numbers are PP-353-501-784, PP-353-501-223, PP-353-500-712, PP-353-499-912.
I closed the complaint with Paypal because on 21 Oct. 2007 Michael Mann, Web Media Projects stated After conversation with the client in this case we believe this is a misunderstanding. We have agreed to perform the work requested in accord with a Scope of Work forwarded to us by the client. This work is to be performed within 14 days from this date or we waive any dispute from the client for a refund of all monies paid via paypal. The scope of work is a document forwarded to us, via email, from the client on this date. We also find that the client was acting in good faith during this dispute.
The 14 day period expired on 4 Nov. 2007 and Michael Mann, Web Media Projects has not provided the completed online booking system or a refund as agreed.
As of todays date 8 Nov. 2007 I believe that the statement made by Michael Mann, Web Media Projects on 21 Oct. 2007 was a complete lie, and that his company never intended to deliver the online booking system or a refund.
I also believe that it was the intention of Michael Mann, Web Media Projects to defraud me!

The facts as I see it are as follows:
I paid Jeff Paris aka phpl33t and zerofunk that I know of $450 through Paypal which was collected by Michael Mann of Web Media Projects. This was paid to Michael because Jeff Paris says he did not have a Paypal account. I believe that Michael passed this money on to Jeff and that's where Michael's involvement in this matter ceased. He acted in a totally professional manor.
Jeff Paris took the Money from Michael Mann and that's who my complaint should have been with the reason I went after Michael was because that's who my Paypal receipt was made out to but I now understand he did not have my money Jeff did!
Jeff did eventually refund me $150 through Paypal as documented on the internet (I'm not convinced about the date as I no longer have access to that account) but the money Jeff claims was sent by Western Union, well that is a complete lie! Jeff did in fact eventually complete some other work for me thus writing off his debt but as a coder he let me down badly.
I hope this clears things up, to cut a long story short I have been repaid in full and I no longer have a complaint with Michael Mann.

I tried to say it before and I'll say it again - Nick NEVER contracted with me or my company and we did NOT take any money from him.
In my conversations with Jeff (the ex-employee who repaid Nick) we were not able to understand why Nick filed this report claiming I took his money, other than to steal from Web Media (which is what I said in the beginning) and now that Nick has been repaid we wonder why HE is not on here cleaning up the lies and statements he made regarding Web Media and myself.
Strange, these reports can do so much harm even if it is all lies and I state categorically, this report was all lies.
Again, Nick, now that the rightful person who had your project has repaid you why do you let these lies you created remain?

Nice try, I am over that. I am in a great relationship, I work my own hours, I don't just get 20% off the software I write, and I have a house. I have found peace with my life and enjoy living every day. I am getting married next year and have a beautiful baby girl on the way. What have you got? You rent a trailer and have dozens of lawsuits on the way from your clients. I am sure you already got a few subpoenas, like the one on your microwave at the Gulfport office before I left. The one saying you were being sued.
I'm done dude, enough with the lies and freaky allegations. You are 5 cans short of a six pack. To think you were ever my friend. Always pressuring me to drink and smoke pot, even though I tell you I don't want that crap.

You can line up all your little minions and use all sorts of names and email addresses to attack me. Makes no difference. You will be found and you will be arrested.
We do not now, and never have, lived in Texas. We live exactly where we alway have. How stupid.
I have NEVER done any sort of prison time in Tennessee, nor have I ever received a sentence of ten years for Bank Fraud. How stupid, jeff.
Yes, my wife is Pakistani. interesting that you would attack her the same as you did your ex (when the MP's had to "escort" you out of Iceland) and, let's not forget another woman whose child you abused until her father "escorted" (read kicked your ass out) of her life too.
I have the emails, Jeff. Are you SURE you want them posted here for the world to see?
This is a double edged sword, my friend. You can attack me over and over (and even attack my wife who never did you no harm) simply to try and harm me. Shows exactly what I have been saying. You attack women, you harm other people to get your way and you are an evil man.

As far as bad checks, I paid the 1 bad check I had and cleared my name. Accidents happen. I paid for the check.
As far as being wanted for questioning, you are a liar. In fact, the Gulfport investigators, I think were more interested in you. You probably had your kids' contacts break in and steal this stuff in order to break you out of your contract with Aarons's home rentals so you could legally leave the state to your new home in Texas without owing a thing.
You and your family are wanted for questioning by Homeland security since someone reported your 2 illegal immigrant family members and you as boarding them.
I have had over 200 completed jobs since I left your fake company and started freelancing. Those who I could not do the work for, I refunded. Simple as that. Perhaps you need to look in the mirror, cause you are talking about yourself, not me.
Fact: Your websites are cookie cutter.
Fact: You alienated all coders who trusted you. Even Ninja.
Fact: You have no programming, design, SEO or linix skills.
Fact: You cannot hold a real job.
Fact: You harbor illegal aliens, 2 of them.
Fact: You stole hundreds of thousands from RMG.
Fact: You blackmailed RMG.
Fact: You blackmailed me.
Fact: You attempted to use me as a scapegoat in your webmediaprojects.com scam.
Fact: You bought me a laptop and when I went on the weekend holiday I spoke of earlier, you then called my laptop in as stolen and then denied me my pay.
Fact: You did 10 years prison time in Tennessee for bank fraud.
Fact: You and your family are on drugs, even your pregnant daughter.
Fact: You have no team of developers. You never did. Even your Indian partners banned you for being a scam artist who never pays up.
Fact: You used my family and my ex-wife as a weapon against me, spreading lies to them in order to hurt me....you failed.

Who in the heck is Naresh?
AUTHOR: C0l0rad0 - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, April 07, 2008
All of this got started over a disgruntled employee I had to fire for theft. Someone wanted in Illinois for bad checks. someone who Broke and entered our offices, stole computers, stole a laptop and ran. someone wanted for questioning in two states.
Now this person has made a complaint against me under three different names that I know of. NOW, this Naresh comes out of nowhere, lists as an ex-employee, then tries to make a statement that opening a new branch under Develop123.com and using my middle name to differentiate the calls for employment is somehow a bad thing.
I'm not sure where Jeff is getting these people, or names, but I wish to state once and for all, that our company has a long history of satisfied customers and will always maintain the highest standards of programming.
We have no idea who this Naresh is. He came via email asking for emplyment and now is holding himself out as an ex-employee.
This is getting ludicrous and the use of this website to try and destroy our business is totally wrong.

Nick is a liar and a thief - This is an attempt to extort money
AUTHOR: C0l0rad0 - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, December 11, 2007
When Jeff left our employ and did not complete this project Nick demanded that our company reimburse him his project fee.
We made an offer to complete the project for good customer service but this thief wanted it on his terms. Since he was not a paying customer we offered to do it on our terms. We could not come to a meeting of minds and the offer was dropped.
Nick continues to use this forum in order to force our company to reimburse him funds never paid to us. He states he paid us this money which is an outright falsehood.
Nick knows all of this to be true and uses this forum for extortion and figures we will have no recourse but to give him money he never paid to us.
It will never happen, Nick. I will close my doors before ever giving in to extortion and lies.
Get as many people as you can con into this to help you but you will NEVER get me to give you something you don't have coming simply because you threaten me and use these forums against our company.
