How to know your hacker is fake (PART 1)

This post will be the first of a series exploring the common tactics and methods fake hackers use to scam you out of your money. The series will also offer tips on how to keep you and your money safe if you do decide to seek out hackers.

The first tactic we will be discussing is setting up fake review sites.

For example: http://hackerforhirereview.com/neighborhoodhacker-com/ is a website set up by neighborhoodhacker.com for the purpose of redirecting visitors. It is set up to appear as an unbiased source by including other hacking services, but they have the highest rating with 3 1/2 stars (besides hackerslist.com, which doesn’t count because it’s only a directory).

clever bullshit

Why did they give themselves 3 1/2 stars? Simple. To make the website appear more believable.

This person on Ripoff Report did a good job of connecting the two websites: Check out here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Hacker-For-Hire-Review-Neighborhoodhacker/internet/Hacker-For-Hire-Review-Neighborhoodhacker-hacker-for-hire-service-hackerforhirereview-1172072

I did give a bad review on neighborhoodhacker.com and it never showed up.  I found that strange.  They have 40+ reviews and not one negative review.   Then it hit me.  Who would benefit for having a hacker for hire review service, except the person with the highest reviews and that would be neighborhoodhacker.com. So I did a domain check on both hackerforhirereview.com and neighborhoodhacker.com (see pics attach for proof). I see that neighborhoodhacker.com was started May 4, 2012 (although they said they have been in business for over 10 years) and hackerforhirereview.com was started April 1, 2013.

Problem is that the 1^st rating for neigborhoodhacker.com on the hackerforhirereview.com site was on April 2, 2013.  That means the very next day the domain name was registered, the website was built and a customer posted a good review about neighborhood hackers.  That would be impossible, the website was not even index in Google the fast. Domain started April 1, 2013 and the first review was April 2^nd.

Another fake reviews site is:

fake review fake people fake hackers

You can see that “cryptohackers” and “hackersinfinity” both have 5 stars. We’ve been over hackerslist, they don’t count.

From my research, it is common for scam artists to produce many websites advertising hacking services. In this case, cryptohackers.com and hackersinfinity.com are run by the same people. If you visit the websites, you will see they have similar sections, and a similar interface.

Since fake hackers compete with each other, they may post accurate and negative reviews about other fake hackers to boost their own credibility, then sneak in a positive review about their own scam site or service.

Another example is this gem right here:

http://hireahackerreviews.com/

Guy tries to pass himself off as just another victim helping expose scammers for the good of humanity. On the “VERIFIED HACKERS” section, he lists 2 emails belonging to supposedly genuine hackers. A quick google search of the emails reveals multiple complaints and ripoff reports.

That’s all for now, people.

I encourage participation in the comment section. Lets bring all these bastards down!

 

Neighborhoodhacker.com is a SCAM

Hi everyone, this will be a blog about “hacker for hire” scams that are circulating the internet right now.

One of the most notorious scammers is neighborhoodhacker.com because they are usually #1 in the search results, as well as appearing professional. They scam you first by saying that paying an appointment fee will secure an appointment since they have so many clients.  When I got an email from a “case manager” shortly after (without paying the fee), that was the first red flag.

Think about it, if they’re after the money, they will chase every customer that comes to them, appointment fee or not.

Afterwards, your “case manager” will be very diligent in replying to your questions up until you pay your retainer fee, which is usually $300+. If you request a refund, even within the cancellation time frame mentioned on the website, you will be transferred over to the “refund department” by your case manager where you will be strung along for weeks, and ultimately nothing will happen. That’s how they scam you. If they disappeared immediately, it would be obvious. But they don’t disappear, they still communicate (but far less frequently) so you think you’ll have your order completed or that you’ll get a refund. That’s what makes them amazing scammers.

I really hope you paid by credit card so you can get a chargeback. If not, that money is GONE.

(edit: you may be able to obtain the money back if you paid by debit card, but it depends on your bank)

All we can do is expose these scam-artists for what they really are.
