Exposure and claim against Mr. Greg Davis for fraud and deception (10)
Exposure and claim against Mr. Greg Davis for fraud and deception
(Note: I previously contacted the STM support team and asked for permission to post this.)
Hello STM family!
A while back, I paid a large amount of money for a CPA campaign opportunity to a well-known affiliate marketer, Mr Gregory L. Davis, also known as Greg Davis or as he likes to call himself: Mr. 50k/day. His company name is The Legin Group, LLC, based in Washington, DC and he lives in Fort Washington, Maryland. His main website where he collects his leads is superaffiliaterockstar.com
The agreement we made was to actually see all the campaign setup, including traffic source, ad creatives, targeting options, landing page, offer, etc. I was supposed to learn along the process and after the campaign being profitable, he would pay back the amount I paid plus 30% of the profits. The deal was made over Skype conversation.
After all this time he didn’t show anything and didn't provide any consulting whatsoever. He does reply back to my messages and payment requests, and he says that he is going to pay, but he is always coming up with excuses on why he doesn't have the money. He claims that advertisers/vendors didn’t pay him for the campaign results and many other excuses.
It looks like that I have been victim of fraud, false promises and abuse of trust, which has caused a tremendous impact in my life and business in general. If you do a Google search for "rip off report Greg Davis", you will find a report from another person, written on April 23, 2020.
My 3 main goals by writing this post are the following:
1. To warn everyone out there about this person and suggest to avoid doing any kind of business with him, at least while he doesn’t pay back everything to everyone who trusted money to him.
2. I wanted to find other people that are in this exact same situation with this person.
3. I am also looking forward to any suggestions or recommendations you may have to deal with this case properly and make him pay what he owes.
Disclosure: all the statements indicated above are completely true and I cannot accept any responsibility for defamation.
Thank you for your attention.

Then it is worth seing a lawyer. The point is that if you only agreed verbally on Skype, without putting down in writings, you will have a hard time proving anything.
I'll wade in and try to offer any value I can. I am definitely NOT an attorney or anything though.
If you had paid the guy 5k and this happened I think most people would tell you to just take it as a good object lesson and learning experience. With it being over 50k, that's a substantial amount of money.
I imagine your only option is to collect all the details/screenshots/print-outs of the conversations/etc and then go interview lawyers and attempt to sue the guy. If he was advertising himself as a coach and 'selling' this, I suppose you could also contact the FTC, contact whatever company facilitated the transfer of your money to his account, etc.
I just did a google search of the person's name (I had never heard of him), and one of the top results is what must be an older version of his site- as a wordpress.com blog, from 2012- where the top post is his "story" that sounds like a 4th grader wrote it, and the second post is a video of him being drunk on a boat.
I also found this, which is l presume the "offer page" for his services: http://superaffiliaterockstar.com/coaching/
It's painful to look at, as the videos are clearly people reading from scripts, there's no disclaimers or navigation at the bottom, etc.
It looks like you got taken in through the dirtiest, scammiest backwaters of the internet for a massive amount of money man... I can't imagine how much you must be beating yourself up...
I feel dirty just thinking about it... eck.. but I hope 1) use it as a MASSIVE learning experience and never get scammed again, and 2) that both you and he get a fair shake on any legal proceedings that result and that whatever outcome is just is the one that prevails.
I don't say that lightly, as on the other hand we've all seen videos on Youtube of some goofball who buys a site for 3000$ on Flippa and then runs it into the ground and proceeds to blame everyone but himself and tries suing every person remotely connected to the transaction.
This on the other hand looks like some pretty nasty stuff involving a lot of money, so it is kind of a different situation in my mind.
Anyway though keep your head up man and good luck.
Thank you for your message jack_l.
The lawyer and FTC is suggestions are good enough, I am already going through that process.
This URL is a more recent version of the coaching one you found: http://superaffiliaterockstar.com/70k.php
We can read at the bottom: "Money Back Guarantee - If you don't recover your original investment in 12 months I will refund your coaching fee minus any profits you earn."
You are completely correct, this is a big lesson for me, no doubts about that. What is really strange is that he keeps saying that he is going to pay everything back and until today I didn't receive it.
I'm just trying to warn everyone out there to avoid doing any kind of business with this person, at least while he doesn't pay everything that he owes.
Can anyone else add something useful to this case?
Any other suggestions to get him to pay?
Legal options? 
Without a written contract, it is your word against his...
You can try public pressure by posting in places that other affiliates visit, but if he really scammed you, I doubt he cares about the reputation anymore.
I would seek legal advice without any delays.
I am a lawyer and can tell you while difficult to prove your case, its not impossible. Only a foolish person would lie under oath for risk of perjury. You get this scumbag in discovery/deposition and let him dig his own grave. Beautiful thing about civil trials are that it is decided on the balance of probabilities so you really need 51% in your favor. Find a good litigator!
