Hi all,

just a word of warning for those interested in phpManager.

Do NOT purchase from http://www.phpmanager.net

This domain is still under Darrell Bell's (aka "The Scammer") control. His company is "DLB Consulting Services ltd", and runs a series of hosting companies.

For those that have purchased through the above, I would recommend you contact your creditcard company and request your money back.

The OFFICIAL phpManager website is: http://www.phpmanager.com

Regards,

Michael

Why don't you just notify the people at PHPManager.com of this 'scam' in case they are not aware of it and that they can do something about it.

Hi,

I am phpManager.com ;)

I only just found out about it the other day, and want to notify those on WHT.

Regards,

Michael

Please don't take this the wrong way, but if i was unaware of this, or didn't really know anything about phpmanager by looking at the two sites i'd be more inclined to believe the .net was the genuine site, due to the layout/organisation.

I really hope you're doing what you can to get this site removed, if you have the sole rights to distribute phpmanager, i'd also suggest making an announcement in your forums as the forums link on the .net site leads to yours.

Good luck anyway.

How's the court case against them coming? Haven't heard anything about it for a while ...

You could always try submitting a transfer for the .net domain, they seem to have listed an email address on the .com as all the contact details. ;)

Click the forums link on the .net site and you go to the .com forums....

I just thought phpmanager got a facelift a few months ago.

How "clever" he is :)
Hopefully nobody has already dropped into this trap..

Since the link to the forums on the other site really points to phpmanager.com, can't you post this to the announcements section of your forums? That'd be funny :)

I thought you sold phpmanager? Is Darrell Bell someone that was a part of the new ownership?

If indeed you are still "phpManager", please pm or email me asap as I have some things I would like to discuss with you regarding previous arrangements that were made that could not be fulfilled by the previous "new management".

Haze, search the ROAR forum for a long thread about Locutus taking back Phpmnager. I think his offer is fair ;)
