However, that was then and this is now, and I'm truly shocked how it's still going on with undeniable evidence that BlackHatWorld.com happily allow and aid these scammers, rather than protect buyers with an open, safe and friendly forum.
Sure, BlackHatWorld.com need to make money, just like any website, but cashing in on these sellers who then go on to blatantly rip off other users with their "too good to be true" services right under their nose is truly sickening.
I myself am no stranger to BlackHatWorld.com and I've read the forum on and off for a good 4 or 5 years and I have absolutely no issues whatsoever with the general side of the site where other users can discuss money making methods. But it's those shady sellers and of course the owner and his corrupt moderators that completely let the site down.
No, I don't think every single "seller" on the site is morally bankrupt looking to rip people off with substandard or blatant scam services. But, almost every day I read another duff review or see a sensible comprehensive questions being removed by the moderators, rather than letting the seller answer it.
That brings me back onto super scammer Luhasr, and his "amazing" micro niche website package that last year (2016) would have made you a healthy up to 5000 plus dollars a month from a tiny two-page site that would cost you just $34.5. Well, not really as that magical figure was actually based on at least 65 to 85 websites that he "believed" was capable of generating that figure, though no evidence was ever produced to suggest it was even remotely possible.
Luhasr has now rebranded that scam to "Fill your Adsense Coffer in 2017 with Micro Niche Websites" with no mention of the actual moneymaking potential it has even though it's exactly the same crappy two-page service. He has however used a completely fake 70 plus dollar AdSense screenshot from a dummy account of his (Geoffreyroody) to promote the service, and even though I exposed it as being fake, thanks to the moderator "I know SEO", who he himself revealed it was based on a website that had 12000 plus pages, not the two-page website you could buy for $34.5. However, and to my shock, that moderator (who may have just been following orders) allowed Luhasr to continue selling his misleading/scam service along with the fake AdSense screenshot.
Anyway, let's get to the point.
The one thing that attracted me to Luhasr and the service/s he was selling was the fact that it regularly appeared on the front page, along with its very convincing (if somewhat thin) sales page, complete with the 5000 plus dollar claim.
I didn't really take a great deal of notice at first, let alone suspect something unscrupulous was going on, especially since I thought BlackHatWorld.com was a reputable forum who vetted sellers and the service they sold.
Sure, I was intrigued how such a cheap service could supposedly make you a very wealthy man or woman. So naturally, I began monitoring the thread, where in all fairness, most of the reviews were positive-ish, though they predominantly consisted of users saying they were impressed with the design, which was basically a free WordPress theme, rather than the actual contents or its performance in major search engines. Also add the fact that most of these reviews were really old, usually from 2011, 2012 and 2013, rather than reflecting the micro niche service current performance.
When I finally did ask for a sample I was truly shocked how poor the quality was. Luhasr via PM sent me a generic copy and paste message, which in itself was full of spelling and grammar mistakes, informing me the up to 5000 plus dollar website consisted of nothing more than 2 pages (500 to 700 words) of contents which looked like it had been spun or auto generated along with a couple of stock images and a few YouTube videos.
It was pretty obvious this service wasn't going to make you 5000 plus dollars a month, even if you bought 5000 separate sites.
However, rather than walk away, I continued monitoring the thread and even started asking a series sensible, civilised and comprehensive questions under a couple of different usernames to see if he could justify the service he sold.
Let's just say he couldn't and would in most cases, either ignore you or call in the BlackHatWorld.com moderators to delete any questions, even though they were completely valid, civilised and on topic.
Though users are allowed to leave a negative review (well sometimes), I later learnt that they can only ever do this once and they must never discuss or answer any questions about the service or the sites they received to any other members on that thread.
Just like any scammer, Luhasr wants to come across as an honest, trustworthy individual, and absolutely despises negative reviews about his service, especially if they could impact future sales. If you read the first post I made, I documented that Luhasr even begged one of his customers not to leave a negative review, though thankfully they did, and specifically stated this.
When negative reviews did come in, Luhasr did his best to try to obscure these by posting an abundance of old positive-ish reviews, or posted a fake positive review from dummy account which always had a distinctive poor pidgin English writing style.
It was undoubtably the way he always used to try to obscure the truth by either posting old positive-ish reviews or posting fake reviews under dummy accounts that caught my undivided attention. Nothing, absolutely nothing ever seen right about his thread, from his evasive nature towards sensible questions, to the way negative reviews were never publicly discussed and obscured ASAP.
And That's Exactly What's Still Happening Right Now
Though Luhasr has had nearly a year to clean up his act and start selling his service in an honest manner, he still continues not to. Just like he was doing last year, he either post himself, or asks/pays a friend/family member to post a positive review about his service, if somebody criticises him or the crap he sells.
Here's a prime example...
A user called "Putkonen" asked Luhasr several times for a sample, but he refused to respond. The user then went on to say this is poor/non-existent service. Fair enough, right?
What happened next?
Well, in a somewhat déjà vu situation, a user by the name of "thunderhd" magically appeared and sounded super stoked about the KW (that's keyword), he received from Luhasr. He was so stoked that the had to inform the entire forum that it had a 10 K+ search volume with a CPC of $2.5+. He even reveals a screenshot, though he doesn't specifically state where it's from.

Now, there's nothing wrong with a user saying they've received a good keyword with a high search volume, but it's the manner in which it was done. It was done just after a negative review with the maximum focus of praising the seller in the highest manner, even though no actual website had been built or received, let alone actually receiving those visitor numbers or CPC.
So, I thought was only fair to point this out and inform that user (probably Luhasr in disguise) this so other users won't be influenced by a misleading statement.
This is what i wrote...
"I hate to burst your bubble but I think you're confused. Keyword search volume or its CPC isn't a guarantee your site will receive that traffic number or revenue. A website first has to rank in Google and that isn't easy, in my experience. A keyword can have a search volume of 1000 or 1 million. To take advantage of that your website needs to appear high up in the search results. Without an authority website keyword search volume or CPC is worthless.
Hope you understand. All the best."
Here's BlackHatWorld.com reason for removing it...
Apparently pointing out the truth is "hijacking" a thread.
Of course, I can't say 100% whether "thunderhd" was Luhasr or a paid user in disguise, but the fact that Luhasr did report my fair and factual post within minutes to the corrupt BlackHatWorld moderators just goes to show you how he and his scam operate.
I'm not at all surprised that my comment was removed as I've seen it all before. That's the general corrupt and censored nature of BlackHatWorld.com. You can't question or undermine a scam because scammers are the bread-and-butter of that site.
Small update: Since posting the above screenshots there's been a small update as "thunderhd" was asked another question by a different user, and quite frankly expose himself as somewhat of a fraud.
A user called "ScreamingMidget" asked thunderhd the following question:
Anyway, considering I never got to the bottom of whether "thunderhd" had actually received a site from Luhasr due to BlackHatWorld.com censorship, I thought I'd try again under yet another username.
Here's my question...
What about ScreamingMidget. Did he get an adequate reply?
Here is...
Thunderhd really does sound like a web expert when it comes to ranking websites, but I just can't figure out why he would buy such a crappy two-page one keyword website from Luhasr, when he could just buy articles from BlackHatWorld.com, which are equally just as crap quality wise or maybe even a smidge better for less money.
Anyway, since my questions hadn't been deleted this time I thought I would ask a couple of more under the username "Sirois". Oh dear, BlackHatWorld.com censorship is in full force again and I'm no longer allowed ask questions on that thread under the username "Sirois" after just one question.
Oh well, time for yet another username.
This time I responded under the username "Sundqvist".
Here is...
Naturally, there was no reply from thunderhd, but I did discover via his profile page he only ever ordered one website package from Luhasr less than a week ago (supposedly), which essentially meant his claim that he was ranking over 50 difficult keywords was a complete load of crap or at the very least, had absolutely nothing to do with Luhasr's crappy micro niche service, even though he was blatantly trying to praise the seller.
And of course, Luhasr never once stepped in and tried to clarify the situation regarding thunderhd claims, just like he made no attempt to verify the authenticity of the $70 plus AdSense screenshot, even though he was quite happy to use every time he promoted his service.
Remember to look out for the emails paybhw@gmail.com and shameedr@yahoo.com and avoid this scammer at all costs.
