Hi everyone ! Glad to be here on the Warrior Forum. I'm a social media expert at a major university (in South Bend) but I don't want to say which one . John Durham is my boyfriend and has told me so much about the positive impact of this forum and how it could make my abilities expand so I just had to join ! Looking forward to all of your great input. Great to meet all of you ! Looking forward to much success !

    Really? Did he drop 20 years or something?

    How'd you meet him?

    When did he move to Indiana?

    Announcing a connection to a banned member is not a good way to begin.

    *sniff sniff*

    Hmmm...smells like troll.

    Not quite the welcome I had expected. I'm not going to defend. That's not what I'm here for. Jason, you get more flies with sugar than with lemons. Just something to think about. I'm sorry I came in on the wrong pretense. Apology accepted?

      Because if you were a student, you'd likely be far younger than an employee.

      I'm pretty sure John was originally from Indiana...and it's possible he could have gone back there.

      And your ages could match up. Yeah, you can have big age differences, my wife and I do, but it's not common.

      Imagine popping into the US Defense department in 1946 and saying, "Hi, I'm a pal of Adolf Hitler's! He said it's really great here! Wanna all go for a beer?"

      Not a fair comparison, and I liked what John had to share here--he did inspire people--in his free content, but it makes my point.

      At any rate, I could have let your post go by but someone else would have said something. And it would have been much more nasty than I what I said.

      Best for you to mix and mingle some other way, like asking questions.

        After checking out your signature line , it seems that you don't mind using John's credibility in your advertising... That seems contradictory, but what do I know?

        Tell him I hope he sorted out the issue he was having with his grandchildren.

        And from a business point of view to hook up with a Finance Person and an Operations Person.

        Let them run it. He just deals with sales.

    Last I heard of John he created a WSO and lead a bunch of people to buy a membership at a private forum for learning how to purchase and sell distressed merchandise. The he played a round for a few weeks and left everyone on that forum dry and we never heard from him again.

    Sorry but your "BF" is a huge scammer. Needless to say it wasn't the best idea to mention him but...welcome

    PS- you cannot say that he is not that way (a scammer) because there is so much proof of it as well as a whole forum or community that he left behind once he reaped the benefits.

    Hey WWJD, John actually did me some good - some serious good. I had an email address for him, and tried to email him a few times, but could never get around.

    I still get "residual" checks in the mail every quarter because of him. It's not a lot of money, but it recently paid for some surgery that my dad needed.

    Though I am not sure the reasons that John was banned, he was...............but, at least I'd like to reach out to tell him "Thank You" in person.

    I know that this may be poor form, but is there a way you can PM me a way to get ahold of him?

    Again, I just want to thank him for teaching me a bit about brokering.

      What about the 90 day extreme challenge ? he hung a lot of people out to dry by not finishing that project. John claimed he sold the telemarketing forum and that is gone too...

      When you take advantage of people that invested there last dollars in a WSO. That John never bother to finish it, he deservers the back lash. The least he could is refund people

      He helped a lot of people here at one time than got stupid or greedy. I removed him from my friend list here recently because I don't want to be associated with who took advantage of others.

      Sorry you should of just flown under the Radar and not announced who you are. Than again is wwjd short for wwwjohndurham,com

        I don't know John except that his posts were, in general, excellent.

        Yes, I bought the 90 Day Challenge, but more for a way of saying thanks for all of the useful information he posted. So I, for one, do not feel scammed.

        As for ANYONE who spends their last dollar on a WSO, that says more about the buyer than the seller.

    I always liked his stuff. I know that he hurt some people, but didn't necessarily think he was a scammer. Scamming to me requires intent, and I always felt that he had the best of intentions but lacked greatly in execution. Like most good telemarketers, he probably was quite disorganized and had his own personal issues and demons that got in the way. Seemed like a good dude that just couldn't deliver on all his promises, was too scattered, and it all came crashing down on him. Now, he could have refunded people, but the likelihood that he had any of that money left was probably nil. He didn't seem great with money either from some things he had said. I didn't like to see him go, but understood why the forum would have banned him. Sometimes people with the best intentions hurt lots of people when they can't execute on them for whatever reason. I understand too why people felt scammed by him.

    WWJD = Her initials + John Durham... Mendoza college of business (that is NOT a major university btw)

    As for being a social media expert... I think that's quite the stretch. Anyway, tell John I say hi and that I'm still pissed for him wasting my time.

        John's a smart guy. I expect he's sent her in as a way to test the waters.

        Looks like it's 60/40 in favor of John not returning.

        I admit I really learned a lot from his posts, and looked up to him.

        But, as a member of his WSO that went south it was really hurtful that he just left us hanging. I haven't asked for a refund, and won't.

        If he's on his feet enough to afford a girlfriend, he should have the time available to bring the WSO back live again and attempt to knock it out of the ballpark this time.

        I also think he should give us an exact explanation of the events that led up to him making the decision to disappoint so many people - the whole truth of the matter.

          Precisely. I can't talk about what he is doing because of the way this is being perceived, but keep your eyes peeled Nathan

          That would be great....However

          Not sure he should make an attempt to hit it out or the park as you will see on page 3&4 http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-...-skills-3.html

          His threads and posts were golden. He helped Deirdre Rains and Diane Hauser (spelling) , Amir, Ron Bologna and others on the path to success but as far as WSO it is buyer beware.

          Some where in the forum rules, I think if you violate WSO rules the ban hammer is permanent. I guess he could file an appeal with Freelancer since they are the new owners.

          Wish wwjd good luck here on the forum.. but John should beware that buyers in the last WSO will protest if he try's a come back. IMHO

    I was just told not to take Iamnameless too harshly, he is just hurt , but he's a good guy. I dont think I should speak for John too much here however there are solutions in the works to deal with these refunds and issues. Iamnameless, you are jumping to conclusions... I never said where I graduated, only spoke of my employment position. From what I understand you are very passionate, so it's okay.

    Jason, Johns bann here is not permanent. I'm going to bow out of this thread. It was nice to meet you all.

        I do know your position, in fact, I know much more than you can even fathom. I know where you graduated, and that you graduated in 2013, Bethel College in organizational management. I know you grew up in the northeast(for respect of privacy I won't tell everyone the exact city). I also know your full name, your position, that you're a steelers fan (can't hold that against you), you do look pretty good for 50, but definitely didn't strike me as the type to go to a biker bar.

        Knowledge is power.

        Really though, I hope you are able to help John get things straightened out.

        There's only one thing I hate more than wasting money, and that's wasting time. John wasted a lot of my time when I tried to help him.

              Regardless of some of the naysayers, John was always a big help to me, here and on the old TMF.

              Tell him 'mak daddy' said hello, and hope he's doing well and getting things sorted out.

It seems like you deliberately made this a thread about John Durham, who undoubtedly has left a bad taste in their mouths for some here.

        Reading some of these posts makes me laugh.

        Hitler? A troll? Needs rep management? Pul-leeze.

        Far be it for me to defend anyone, but if anyone has been around this sub forum from the years when this sub forum was actually informative and helpful, they would know that JD posted more informative and useful info than anyone else.

        Nathan, David Miller, Ken Michaels, Bob Ross, Claude Whitacre and a few others rank up there with him.

        I learned more from him than the so called expert whose ego is so fragile and who somewhat demands thanks for every post he makes. As if he is the 'be all and end all'. Pitiful, if you ask me. Yup.

        wwjd, I'm glad you let those who benefitted from John's posts know he's OK
        Good guy or bad guy, he sure as hell helped a lot of people around here.

        Those of you who got 'ripped-off', go search and read his old posts. You'll get your money's worth back and more.

        That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

          Gotta say, it doesn't seem like she's interested in mixing it up anywhere but this thread. You would think that she'd be getting involved and dropping knowledge on some of the social media threads if nothing else. Instead of creating her own identity on here, she's just branding herself as John Durham's girlfriend. Not sure what possible good that will do.

          It was about introducing myself. I wouldn't say 'enjoying the drama', it's more 'responding' to people, and this is the place where people are talking to me. I did comment somewhere else but haven't been engaged there. Thanks for the welcome.

          I just said hello... I believe Jason engaged the stir, to be clear.
