Ulliam Ghost-Gate
TLDR: Ulliam ghosted and gave excuses to people who hired him for novelty / deskmat work, while he was still active in the community. no public apology made and waited 3+ Months for a refund.
Hello reddit, given the current state of the upcoming GB in the community and the lack of apology to multiple members of this community I have come to make this post. Please note this was made months after the initial occurrence due to no public apology / acknowledgement from the user, and them still getting work with Vendors who had no idea this entire situation existed.
Please do not blame the vendors that have created their GB with this individual as I am keeping this to a one person situation.
Above is a Imgur album of all the messages, and emails some individuals have had with this user trying to get novelties / design work done for their projects. Names have been redacted by some per request, personal information removed. This is only a sample size of the people who were affected by this, a few individuals had informed me do not want any of their information on the post. In the album Ulliam was paid and reminded from others asking where their project work was done. This was met with ghosting as well as multiple excuses on why the work paid for was not completed in the time frame.
A couple months after the initial payment by some individuals KAT CYBERSPACE went into group-buy leaving the people who paid in the dark on the current status of the paid work. Which had escalated to emails and even joining the individuals server and pinging Ulliam to try to get some form of response. This of course led to more excuses and being led around on the work / refund process that had started for some.
Most of the users who paid for work finally got a refund come September 3 Months after the initial payment to get the commission completed. The refund had seem to only come after the money was made from KAT Cyberspace. This had left people with a "sour" taste in their mouth as well, due to him promoting cyberspace while ghosting all the individual users.
I am happy to entertain any questions about the situation, as NO PUBLIC APOLOGY has been made and this person is still getting in work with vendors after ghosting and ignoring people who had paid him for work in the past. This is also not counting some of the other information that has been released around the GMK White Rabbit Interest Check (Separate Post).
Thank you for taking the time to read and letting me inform you about the bad practices of this individual in the hobby and why should not support this type of behavior.
