Wow, BlackHatWorld.com Do Take Action Against Scammers, But It Seems Very Selective

Wow, BlackHatWorld.com Do Take Action Against Scammers, But It Seems Very Selective
Since I've been monitoring the so-called web design section of BlackHatWorld.com from early last year (2016) I've only actually seen one micro niche website seller get banned by the corrupt BHW moderators.

That user was called "King Maker" and he sold the typical micro niche website with an excessive reliance on posting old positive-ish reviews, plus a very dubious unverified AdSense screenshot to entice customers in.

Sound familiar?

In fact, it's because I started reading his thread late last year that led me to further investigate Luhasr,  because a user on that thread was questioning the seller, especially an AdSense screenshot, he was posting.

Unlike Luhasr, King Maker seemed more tolerable towards questions that doubted his service, and didn't report them to the BlackHatWorld moderators, or at the very least they didn't comply with his wishes if he did.

A user by the name of "wsooffers" questioned another user (dolomoney) who posted a very impressive (and censored) AdSense screenshot that supposedly made over $6000 in just one month from King Makers 2 page 500 word micro niche website package.

A BlackHatWorld.com users has concerns regarding an AdSense screenshot which looks far too good to be true.

Wsooffers rightly so thought this figure was highly unrealistic, if not physically impossible and posted the following question...

A BlackHatWorld.com music makes it quite clear that it is physically impossible to make the kind of earnings that are posted in the screenshot.

So, Wsooffers thought something fishy was going on and it was far too easy for anybody to sign up and post a fake review, along with an enticing AdSense screenshot that wasn't only censored but couldn't be verified on BlackHatWorld.com.

King Maker didn't rush to defend or verify the review or screenshot posted by "dolomoney", but did feel comfortable using it every time he promoted his micro niche service.

Déjà vu or what?

Speaking of déjà vu, here comes a user by the name of "peppe" who accuses wsooffers of trolling, though he clearly wasn't.

 This is peppe reply...


Wow, $30 per month from 1 crappy two-page micro niche website that contains 2 articles at 500 words each.

That's really impressive, isn't it?

I personally don't know how much King Maker was selling 1 site for, because his PayPal icons have been removed, but I believe it wasn't any more than $50.

So a one-off payment of $50 could earn you up to $360 per year, minus your domain and hosting fees, which wouldn't exceed $75.

Something doesn't sound right here, does it?

 Anyway, wsooffers sent the following reply to peppe...

BlackHatWorld.com user, Wsooffers is suspect about a user who keeps praising the seller of this particular micro niche service.
Wsooffers picked up on unnecessary ass kissing, from a user who supposedly had no connection to the seller.

What is it with these random users on BlackHatWorld.com who just love stepping in and conveniently obscuring sensible questions toward the service being sold?

King Maker seemed more interested in promoting his service with the assistance of the dubious screenshots, rather than answering and addressing people's concerns.

When a user by the name of "black_guy" asked him why he was ignoring questions concerning the moneymaking potential of his service, he gave this reply...

King Maker, the person who sells this micro niche service tries to justify why he's not responding to questions and doubts about the service he sells.
King Maker puts all the responsibility on dolomoney to offer some kind of verification regarding the rather unrealistic AdSense screenshot, though, if you search through his entire thread, King Maker had been using it for months on end to promote his service.

So, there you have it. BlackHatWorld.com do not require anybody to verify their AdSense earnings and any seller can easily create a dummy account and post a fake AdSense screenshot to promote the service they sell.

Anyway, soon after that King Maker was banned from BlackHatWorld.com, though the reason was never given. I initially thought he had been banned because he had ignored multiple users, and failed to offer any kind of insight or verification concerning the AdSense screenshot that he had been using to promote his service.

But, I don't think that was the case.

There had been some complaints concerning the amount of time he had taken to deliver sites, so maybe that was the case rather than BlackHatWorld.com clamping down on the seller who was clearly misleading sellers by using an unverified and blatantly fake AdSense screenshot.

As I stated earlier, it was because of this thread and the dubious AdSense screenshot that prompted me to further investigate Luhasr, and in particular the unrealistic 77 plus dollar AdSense screenshot that he still uses today to promote his scam.

But as you know, I conclusively proved that screenshot wasn't based on the two-page service he sells to the corrupt BlackHatWorld moderator, but instead a 12,000 page website which he won't reveal even though, its the foundation of his sales pitch.

Anyway, I've highlighted King Maker thread, because it had a remarkable déjà vu feeling about it, where the seller very conveniently ignored sensible and comprehensive questions regarding the legitimacy of the service he sold, and we are random users magically appeared and did a lot of ass kissing when the seller wouldn't/couldn't respond to questions.

Sadly, I don't think will know exactly why he was banned, but I really don't believe it was for the obvious reasons that he was misleading people, as BlackHatWorld.com clearly don't have a problem with that.

But BlackHatWorld.com do Ban Sellers Who Threaten Buyers with Negative SEO

On Wednesday, 23 February something remarkable happened and BlackHatWorld.com actually took action against one of their "approved" sellers and banned him from their forum completely as he threatened a customer with negative search engine optimisation.

Negative search engine optimisation in layman terms is a tactic that can cause serious if not terminal damage to your website. This usually involves building's spam back links with automated software from sites that Google has already penalised.

The user, "blackpayman733" had at least 4 active services on the web design thread on BlackHatWorld.com. These included the typical "Earn $3000 per Month with Micro Niche AdSense Websites" and "High CPC $2 + AdSense Authority Sites".

Though, I'm not particularly familiar with his services, it's clearly the same crap, that everybody else is selling on BlackHatWorld.com, with outrageous moneymaking claims, which are far too good to be true.

A buyer by the name of "stelios0" ordered one of his services, specifically an authority Amazon site. Stelios0 wasn't happy with the service he received (no surprise there, really), and that the seller was fobbing him off with lies and hadn't delivered the service on time. He then asked him for a refund which is fair enough.

This is his following post...

However, it seems that things went sour after that and blackpayman733 clearly didn't like being asked for a refund and started threatening stelios0 with negative SEO unless he withdrew his request.

Here's the screenshot...

stelios0, a BlackHatWorld.com member specifically states that King Maker has threatened him with negative search engine optimisation if he leaves negative feedback on BlackHatWorld.com.

Stelios0 also took a screenshot of blackpayman733 threat.

In a somewhat surprising move, the brain-dead/corrupt moderator "I know SEO" took swift and decisive action and banned blackpayman733 and stated the following...

Threatening or begging users not to post negative reviews is awfully familiar, on BlackHatWorld.com, isn't it?

Here's a small reminder...

Anyway, I'm both happy and impressed that BlackHatWorld.com finally did take action against one of their morally bankrupt sellers, but it still doesn't excuse the fact that they allowed him to sell his "too good to be true" services in the first place, nor does it excuse the fact that the same moderator is allowing other users to sell their services in a fraudulent/misleading manner.

Oh well, maybe BlackHatWorld.com are in the process of cleaning up their act, but I doubt it.
