Affixes Multiple Cases of Fraud and Scamming | Do not censor

Vign The two received quite a bit of hate for their promotion so I feel that they are trying to prove themselves as much as possible.

I've only seen morgan post before, so I don't know how M6 is, but I think that as long as we hate them they will try hard at being good staff members.


No seriously I don't see why people are bombing them. However, I think Mick should do a poll for staff instead of being the overseer of every single situation (which, due to past experiences, we can assume that many of his decisions will upset the users).

Polls are nice, but I have this feeling a lot of people won't take them seriously anyway, or suggest their friends rather than who they think is the best option.

We cannot blame other staff members for the fraudulent and exploitive acts of just one.

What we must work together to achieve, however, is justice for all of the people who have been wronged by this manipulative and abusive individual.

Ivain It's not like it matters, everybody will complain anyways.

Aschorren I believe you misinterpreted my entire post; I was not defaming any of the new staff members but welcoming them.

The voices of all of the wronged community members who come forward will speak louder than any poll ever could.

I agree with the part about you saying "the community" needs to be aware of what happens around here. I couldn't have heard a more better sentence. You'll notice below that it's not only my words that are being shared, it's someone else's too. We are a community and deserve to understand and to share about how WE feel about decisions being made around here. I understand maintenance and those type of situations, but you know we together, will not be happy with higher prioritized members making different decisions and rules around here when we as a community can do that too. Polls should be used more often, not just for how members elaborate, but how staff do it too. We have a whole community, and if they think we don't deserve to anything, what would MC-Market do without us? It wouldn't be a community, I'd say it wouldn't even be here anymore. I really don't know what to say but, Staff. You lead the example around here, I've said the word so many times, and I'll say it again. Our Community deserves to know what goes on around here and you guys are supposed to be the ones who take charge and part into this, not the ones hated on and have members create these hateful threads which lead onto more hate. I don't take sides in anything, I just formally wanted to write this out observing what's really been going on some of these threads, and I thought some would like to hear my voice.

Amazon Yeah, lead us to democracy, Cleisthenes!

I've just finished fact checking logs sent to me by a user who prefers to remain anonymous for fear of being banned in which Jesse confesses to using sensitive information such as user ip addresses for "malicious purposes" as he called it.

He later, in the same sentence, stated that his actions were justifiable because "[he's not the owner]".

In my personal experience with Affixes I can say that he is not deserving of the trust and respect you would expect someone to hold if their company's banner is plastered on the face of MC-Market. I'm sure MCM would not wish to be related to the various misdeeds Affixes has proven himself capable of, such as holding server data hostage, resorting to DDOS attacks as a way of controlling other users, and scamming a number of my clientele.

Mick tjrgg Ajdin What's going on? Status update?

Jesse is writing a response as we speak. I'm watching everything closely.

With the uproar of replies which I've fact checked, it's clear to me that Affixes is a toxic member to have within the community, nonetheless at the top of the staff team.

Thank you very much for bravely coming forward. We discussed in private that you've been threatened and your posts have been removed for trying to speak up against this fraudulent user in the past and Mick and BeBosny have assured me that in this free-speaking environment that that will not be the case.

 

[Aschorren]

Jesus.


Honestly, I was not expecting this load of replies about their experience with Affixes. I wonder how he even got staff in the first place.

It is indeed alarming that such a high-tier staff member has been involved in so much scamming and fraud.

I never expected such an uproar of responses at this time and I'm really impressed with the community for being brave and standing up against exploitive and abusive authority figures who utilize their powers in order to exploit the individuals that they have power over.

And now for my response….

Almost 2,5 months earlier, I was contacted by Thomas after already having talked to him for a good period of time. As stated, he was looking for an economy fix for his now-sold server, OP Jails. I told him I wasn’t interested, however as stated by Thomas previously, he continued to almost urge me to look into his issue.

We agreed on a steep price of $350. Certainly ridiculous for an issue that could have a rather simple solution. However, it was surely not something I was interested in doing. Thomas expected me to get started the same day (ar rather, as “close to immediately as possible”), however told him I couldn’t make it happen as my schedule was absolutely full that day. Besides, I was in class at the time this conversation went on and barely had any time to respond.

The next day, I told him I would pass on the offer as I had no time to look deeply into his issue, nor was I interested in it at all. Thomas then continued to urge me looking into this issue (Surely a good business practice), which looked something along the lines of…

He continued offering to adjust the timeframe, extending it to later that weekend. This worked with me, as I could finish off the heavy workload I had on other projects.

The next day (Friday), I continued communicating with him in an attempt to work out a solution. At the time, I had not looked deeply into his server structure yet (Heck, the deadline was Sunday), and thus offered him a couple rough ideas. Unfortunately, all of these had somewhat of a catch and couldn’t be implemented properly into the server.

After talking with him for a good 40 minutes, I told him I wanted to pick up on the matter tomorrow (Saturday) as it was late at night and would prefer going to sleep instead.

The next morning, I woke up to him saying he’d like to be refunded if we did not come to a solution (He paid 50% of the full payment, as I requested), which I found outrageous seeing I still spent time communicating with him and working out a solution.

Being very desperate at first in getting me on his request, his mind seemed to have turned around completely and suddenly he wanted his money back as I “wasn’t interested in it all along”. Maybe the fact that I continuously told him I wasn’t, is worth mentioning.

Understandably, this was not something I’d see myself doing seen I spent time working out a (not yet proper) solution. Rather quickly, this turned into an “I’m right, you’re wrong” type of conversation, which I’m not even going to cover.

Chat log: https://chatformat.com/xvEypZva/
Which went on even further: https://chatformat.com/Dvkp6ZVl/

At this point in time, I had indeed not looked into his structure or overall gameplay yet, however as suggested by the logs, did spend time working out a few rough ideas along with communicating them to Thomas. I offered him 50% of his downpayment (aka. $87,50) back, which I actually find to be very reasonable. I then proceeded giving him the partial refund.

After having spoken with a variety of people regarding this situation, I was very confident Thomas was in the wrong here and wanted to make it interesting. I offered him to make a thread in the public domain (aka. What you’re reading right now), and would offer him the other 50% back if people agreed with his side of the story.

This is something I’d like to cover by the way...

I messaged him about ten times in the next twenty four hours, all to no responses. I was paying him the extremely sharp fee in order to solve the issue in a timely manner with me and he was dodging my messages after he was paid in full. I was outraged. Sure enough, twenty four hours later he messaged me and told me he was busy. I told him it was fine but that we needed to cooperate in order to solve this issue together.

Not only wasn’t I paid in full (Thomas sent me a 50% downpayment), I almost instantly responded to his messages at all times. There was no “24 hour delay” - Thomas expected me to jump onto his issue immediately, after which I told him I had no time and even wanted to disregard his request because of it. See: http://files.iptables.sh/89ku2y90gm.png

Sure enough, several more days passed and I began to become furious. Where was this reputable contractor who I had paid so much money to for a quick solution? After about two more days, he ended up messaging me very briefly and saying something very vague like "disable the economy" which was the system we already had in place for weeks. I was absolutely furious. I told him that we already had that system in place and I confronted him and informed him that I knew he hadn't even logged into the server yet. He admitted to me that he hadn't begun work yet after trying to play it off like he had found this solution after hours of study, and then informed me he'd be taking hundreds of dollars for the time we spent negotiating.

No days passed, you always received a response, there was no vague “disable the economy” message,.. I’ve covered this several paragraphs above. I can only see you’re taking advantage of the fact people would not be interested in reading the full Skype logs to counter-prove your statements, but I’m going to link them with their exact timestamps anyway: http://paste.affixes.io/ululazejeh.dos.

At this point, I decided to get my good friend and the site owner Mick involved. I told him that Jesse, otherwise known as Affixes, was completely and utterly abusing his staff rank in order to scam other users and that he had to be dealt with immediately. I pasted him our entire conversation and Mick was baffled. He spoke with Jesse, at which point after several hours he decided to give me half my money back, and he told me he'd give me the other half if I made a thread and got the community's support on my side.

I remember briefly speaking with Mick over what happened and nothing evolved from it. You were not given 50% back because of that, as you can see from the Skype logs I provided. I don’t see how I am abusing my staff rank in any way what so ever. The business deal we did has absolutely nothing to do with it and was mainly a flaw on your side.

Your post is made up of unproven lies in an attempt to hurt my online reputation, which I therefore deem highly unfortunate. From someone as “professional” as you, I expected a lot different. You are over exaggerating your replies (“I was thrilled that we were beginning to search for a solution together. I figured I had the brains behind Prime MC's … Why worry?”) and are purely putting out false statements, along with your financial position in this website to make people believe your theory.

EDIT: The amount of unsustained claims people are making on this website, even without hearing the other side of the story, is pure ridiculous. Consider reading the Skype chat logs as it's very easy to just throw out false statements like these, and rather difficult to prove your thought process is wrong.

I'm still wondering why Affixes was unbanned after he created a McM copy. The owner of the site at the time claimed it to be "Merging". Nothing ended up happening though except for Affixes getting staff. I have no clue why this was done, and he probably wouldn't be staff at the time had the current owner not unbanned him.
