Before I begin, I do not watch Big Brother, but today I found out that a contestant on the show "Big Brother - HiJacked" Liam Young is allegedly some internet entrepreneur who runs lots of successful online businesses. The thing is, this guy is all fake, as proven by many sources, and the facts in this thread.
Facts:
- Claims to host 2 million websites - A simple reverse IP check on his server only shows he hosts 100 websites, most actually his own websites and duplicates (e.g. different domain TLD's).
- Claims to have 250,000 clients worldwide resulting in a turn over of £200,000 per year. - Turnover is not profit, so what the hell is he charging customers per year, £0.10?! And wait ... he has to cover 12 staff salaries too!
- Claims to employ 12 staff (and on some forums prior to his big brother appearance he claims to have over 80 staff). - haha yeah yeah
- His website is: http://www.oxyuktechnologies.com/
- His company offers "custom web design solutions" - yet his website was designed using a Homestead.com template (WYSIWYG) as proven in his source-code.[/b]
- Registered his company as LTD days before the show
- Stopped hosting orders just before going onto the show (due to "too many orders") and will take more orders ironically after the show ends. - Basically because he is on the show, he can't activate accounts. If he did have 12 staff members, why don't they help out
