Toby Clements Scammer Still In Business? Not Paid In Full For The Domain Sold In December!

Odd, his last Facebook post was also on March 10th. I've been in this industry for many years and have always tried to make steady sales, never gloating when I would make a great profit...I remember seeing Latona and Clements at Traffic conferences and on Facebook posting images of their expensive sports cars..I always wondered if it was a facade, which it obviously was. The only encounter I had with Toby was when he told me a domain name had sold through his newsletter and 7 weeks later he told me the buyer backed out. It's people like this that give domaining a bad name, that's why I only sell to end users at this point.
 
Interesting. Seller on Sedo listed as being in Gibraltar.

It is even more interesting than that. I have sent you a PM about it.

Sent emails about 5 or 6 times over past few days. No replies.
 
The email to Toby bounced back possible because Toby.com is sold?

Do you know current email address to reach Toby?

Did someone put "scammer" in the title as when this thread was started the "scammer" word is not in the title? I would appreciate if the title could be without "scammer" as originally posted.
 
I have to ask, is he sick or something. No feedback from him.
Most top dog domainers knew him, any one can check maybe he's not well.

Yes, no replies from him for few days now. He promised to settle the payments in last email.
 
Why don't ya'll put some money together and hire a private investigator and contact the FBI also. He's lucky he does not owe me any money, because I would have been called the Feds... This is Wire Fraud among other crimes, everyone call the FBI Headquarters near you and he'll go down....
 
He'll have to find another job, because I don't think any domainer will still be willing to retain his services now.
 
No one living close to him and can visit him to see if he's alright ?

Good luck finding a job with this thread at the top of Google for your name :)
 
Toby paid 25% of the outstanding balance this week and he is hoping to settle the remaining balance to the end of the month. He is trying to settle the money he owes and we do appreciate it.
 
Great :) Let's hope he's getting back on his feet.
 
I also received a partial payment from Toby via Escrow.com in the last couple of days.
 
I would like to refer to my thread made in 2012: http://dnforum.com/threads/anyone-use-tobyclements-to-market-sell-domains.497551/#post-2133064

Even then I've had a horrific experience with Toby Clements and his newsletter. But I chose to act instead of put up with his delays and excuses. Don't be too trusting with anyone, big name or not, where there's money - there's someone willing to take it from you. First thing you can do is speak out, make a public record of what has occurred to you. If they fix the problem, great, update everyone. But at least there will be a record and others can take notice if they are having the same problems. Second, stop giving them your business! If someone continuously delays transactions by two weeks or more, that is not normal! The broker should make the process smoother and headache free. They should not be the one who is causing the delays and headaches.

I hope this was not a very costly lesson to anyone. But however insignificant your loss was, you should still do everything in your power to make sure people don't get away with this stuff. Best of luck to all involved.
