Today, my Power Hour buddies, Pete and Greg, and I got an email that contained solely these six words:
The powerhourgame.com domain is for sale
That website is Steve Roose’s domain. When I went to the site, I saw this:
Steve’s website is now gone. He has given up on selling his terrible product.
So how does this generic “Domain Sales Corp” know that Pete, Greg and I would be the people to email about it? Because there is no such thing as Domain Sales Corp. It’s just another fake Gmail address that Steve Roose has created in order to try to deceive me. Draining my $30,000 for legal fees was not enough. Steve Roose thinks he’s going fool me so he can take my money for his website.
Another obnoxious detail I’d like to point out is that his site has a Facebook like button claiming that over 2.5 million people like the page! Wow. Maybe this domain is worth buying if it has such a crazy following. Upon a little investigation I discovered that he’s actually embedded a like button that’s counting the votes for “facebook.com”, not his own site.
So Steve is lying about who he is and lying about his product in attempt to get more money out of me. The extent of Roosebag’s suckness seems to have no end.
i declare a war on stupid asshattery
What a d-bag. He thinks he’s so slick.
How much is he asking? Anyone can buy a domain name.
Who wants to buy SteveRooseIsAnAsshat.com?
surely he’s breaching some sort of false advertising laws in your country? pretty sure he would be in ours, have him up for it an see if you can get your 30k back perhaps?
I got $20 for the domain. $21 if you twist my arm.
One of my friends sent an email about it just to see what Steve would say. Steve’s price: $10,000. Haha what?!
The domain will expire, dob;t do it, the pond scum is trying to defraud you.
oops, don’t so it.
This guy is surely on something, or has some kind of behavioural disorder. If you follow the WhoIs data back for that domain, you get a phoney company (which you already pointed out Ali), with an apparently phoney address (Corporation Ave in Dover, DE, which as far as I can find doesn’t exist). This company also comes up in association with another domain, buzztogo.com, with identical details, complete with apparently faked domain-for-sale homepage. Another side project of this guy’s?
powerhourgame.com registration expires in October, if you actually care at this point. Wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t 🙂
Sorry, that’s Corporation Way.
@Nick
Ah, Buzztogo.com is just another domain for the same product. Naw, and here was me thinking there were more genuinely interesting tidbits to find. I’m going to assume most of this kind of thing would have come up in discovery anyway, so it’s probably old hat.
You should take your Freedom Victory Tour to California and play a concert by Steves house, or by his realtor office. Make sure you send him a poster too!!! Make sure you name a few songs after him.
Well, I think you’re awesome Ali. But I’m sorry you had to go through such an expensive and stressful ordeal. Can only hope that the equivalent will come back to him in some form.
