Restored back to previous AdminBB Database

I have restored AdminBB back to our previous database. Why? Well the database that I had merged into AdminBB was a stolen one and I was scammed by the person who sold it to me. I will be reporting the user, and finding a solution to this. I dont think I will be getting my money back though

I have talked to Ryan and others and this is the best thing to do right now. This is very overwhelming as I spent a good 2 days with merging and importing, and getting things set up and keeping AdminBB closed for the 2 whole days where we lost a good amount of activity when if I had known I wouldnt have not gone into this and kept AdminBB open.

This just goes to show you that you gotta be careful with things like this on the internet, as their are very nasty people like this. So as I mentioned I will be reporting him and will be trying to find a solution.

 

Sucks that you got scammed.

 

Yea well unfortunately its the internet and it happens. I am very stressed about this. Spent so much work and what not and now its all gone, and if I had known I would have never bought it as I kept AdminBB closed for 2 days and for what? Lost activity for that.

 

Sorry to hear you got scammed. What site was the other DB from, also .. did you send me a msg in my inbox before you rolled back? I got the alert but never read it

Keep your chin up! Don't let this get you down.

 

I only been scammed once on the internet it was my first and I made sure my last. I always make sure the other person does his part of the deal first. I also never buy databases alone unless it came with the site including and made sure it wa 100% legit. Next time you buy a database make sure to gather info from the seller before buying it next time.

 

Thanks Mikey, I will PM you.

 

That sucks bro, really does. Was it another xenforo admin forum?

 

I prefer not mentioning the forum but you can send me a PM.. if you came on about 15 minutes ago then you would have seen AdminBB with the imported database, then few minutes later I reverted back to our old db before the import. Isn't that something? Spent the whole 2 days on the import and setup, and just 2 minutes to throw it away.

 

Dang...sorry to hear that.

 

Yea

 

Wow, that sucks. Glad it's working again though.

 

Dam man :/ This sucks big time T.T I guess let adminBB grow naturaly, its doing very good

 

Yea, 2 days was long time to be closed for.

 

Yes indeed. Thats the best thing to do now.

 

[meant to send a PM]

 

Dang that sucks! Been in your shoes before myself, best thing to do is try and move on. Hopefully some sort of justice will catch up to the scammer.

 

Yea its not fun..

 

best thing to do is report it to the police and/or other cyber authorities as scamming isn't seen well in most countries and in some countries can get the offender kicked off by their ISP provider.

 

Sad to hear but love the new updates.

 

Sorry to hear that you got scammed, we did'nt need that database anyway
