Amount: $620

Reason: He requested a loan to help pay for The Angels from Hexicidal. I was under the impression my loan to him would cover the remainder of the balance for the group ($3,750), however, he used my $550 (Owes $620 since he offered interest) and his partner's $450 to pay the $1,000 down payment on Logic. He still owes Hex $2,750 by March 1st for the group.

His PayPal has been limited and he only has ~$230 in it last night.

PokeBoot: Many will say why would he not pay up from the profits from his booter, well I'm his PayPal Holder for it and there is no way he can afford these things through his booter. In the last week of sales he has only made $88.56, minus the 10% fee I charge for holding his payments and the 10+ disputes he has had this week alone.

His Group Is Not Paid For: He still hasn't paid for the group. Here is Hex's message on skype:

[1:33:42 PM] Hexicidal: $2,752 by March 1st, if it is not reached by that date then group ownership is transfered back to me.

Omniscient Involved: Omni has closed his information thread stating: https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?ti...id30254324

He has also neg rep'd him for the same reason: http://prntscr.com/rbta6

Conclusion: I will keep this thread up until I've been repaid in full. He said that would be around Monday, now he says Tuesday, I don't know what to believe. He's had a good heart in the past, but he's covered up so much to his own partners about how much of the group was paid off and tried to sweep it all under the rug so this will hopefully force him to pay off his debts. I think he took on more than he could handle, I told him I don't like lending money because not many people end up paying back on time, he knew the deadline and I've warned him multiple times this week. I will close this once fully repaid.

More: Another thing, Juicy Booty paid $1,200 LR for co-leader in The Angels, where did that money go? Only $1,000 of The Angels is paid off, $550 of it was from me. The rest from Sandshrew's partner.

I am very disappointed as well.

I put up over 1k for this group, and I was under the impression that it was fully paid off.

Turns out I have paid more than Sandshrew has, and he officially owns the group.

I am very mad right now. I thought the group was paid off.

TL;DR:

So this is how it's gone so far:
  • Saturday, Feb 2nd

  • Sandshrew owed Pheno $1,100 LR.

  • Sandshrew gets JB to pay $1.2k LR to pay off Sandshrew's Debt to Pheno and tells JB can be co-owner/leader or w/e in The Angels, which he's said was paid off.

  • Sandshrew asks me for a loan of $550 after giving him $450 from his PokeBoot Profits that month that I was holding as his PP holder for it.

  • Sandshrew sends that $450 + $550 = $1,000 to Hex as down payment on The Angels.

  • Sandshrew owes me $620 due to the interest agreed on, defaults on payment, claims to have a plan to pay me back by Monday or Tuesday even though he has only $230 in his LIMITED, Fake Info PayPal.

  • Sandshrew still owes Hex $2,750 for The Angels by March First.

  • Sandshrew covered up most of this and didn't tell any of us about the other parts we didn't directly take part in.

  • Sandshrew is proven to have a multiple account know as xFrawshi.

  • Sandshrew owes $120 to contest winners he didn't pay out yet.

  • Sandshrew lied to his partner about sales for PokeBoot.

  • Says he's too busy to call me, will comment tonight or tomorrow when he feels like it.

  • Says he'll announce his plan tomorrow. Refuses to comment on many of the questions at the moment.

  • Lied to all members involved.

  • The multi account has the same videos, AIM's, Skype, Emails, etc as his real account.

  • Juicy Booty requested a full repayment from Sandshrew, totaling: $1,250

  • In total he owes over $5,365 USD.

  • Sandshrew claims the multi account is his "cousin", admits to proxy selling for a non-upgraded account, which is against the rules.

  • Sandshrew agrees to pay Juicy Booty $1,250 if he isn't satisfied with Sandshrew's explanation. He said he will pay me back 'possibly' by tomorrow.

  • He asked members of his group to code him a program to sell to make money.

  • He did not describe his plan to pay any of us back.

  • He said he will post about it tomorrow.

  • Sunday, Feb 3rd

  • He said his statement will be posted by 1pm Central Standard time on Sunday.

  • He posted his statement, it shows no details and adds more excuses, it's torn apart by everyone involved.

  • I've chargedback my payments to him due to him not being able to provide a plan in depth stating how he will actually pay off any of the debts.

  • Waiting his next statement and his refund of all disputes.

Thanks Legion for the information. 🤝



I can vouch for this Deal Dispute. I trust Sandshrew, but I don't want this to becoming something it doesn't have to.

The faster this can be resolved the better for the HackForums community as a whole. He is still in debt with me, but like it has previously be stated, he has until March 1st to pay this debt.

I wish you both the best of luck sorting you issue out, I hope it doesn't come to the point where it will affect me.

Sadly, this report is legitimate. Sandshrew is a good member, but he got himself into a deep, deep rut.

Good luck to Hexicidal and Tibit.
This is not true, the PM on Hackforums states the 5th.
If you really want to resolve this by tonight, then PM me.

I haven't scammed you, nor do I plan to.
Lmao, alright let us see what happens.
Hopely this will get resolved soon.
I'm tired of all these scams from known members on HF. :S

I've messaged you, but you've stated you are unable to pay for a few days. Once I've been paid back I'll close this.
Back in my days we used to give out $5 at the most to kids, you on the other hand just threw a whopping $620 and expected to see it back on the deadline given? Leems very segit.
He pretty much ruined Hexicidal and I's plans.
Hopefully he can pay this off and that he
doesn't scam, so we can continue
our plans further.
Holy shit, I'm really surprised this happened. I wonder what will happen to the group.

Inb4 he does a "Donate x amount to join!" tryin to raise money.

Back in the days, ah... I remember, 2005, swing set, Vinnie and I, humming on a Minnesota sunny day, licking lollipops, ahhhh. Those were the times. Leems segit.
Wow Tibit I am sorry for your loss thats a lot of money to just loose especially when you loose it to some one you trusted.

The PM on site says that you'll be paid on the 5th, today is the 2nd.
I'm heading out to my aunts shortly, so I won't be able to communicate to on this thread, instead I will text you.
But I don't have to head out for about 45 minutes.

I made sure I'm able to get it back if need be, but I had no reason to fear losing the money completely. We shall see what happens. I'm quite sure he will pay it back, but in how long is the issue.
Looks like hes not gonna pay you back soon as he also have to pay for the group.
seems like a legit report, hope this gets resolved quickly, somehow.
I do not condone illegal activities.
