Just found this interesting. Watched Splash the other night so I was browsing through the Ultimate Splash Fan Group on FB. Turns out Adam Martyn posted late January of this year (https://www.facebook.com/groups/UltimateSplashGroup/permalink/10151864870906962/?comment_id=10151866596191962&offset=0&total_comments=11)..

No one ever did get their money back from him, and no one could track him down since he moved somewhere in Hungary. The nerve of that guy. -_-

There was an actual tv news report about him and what he did to Selene. I was helping Melissa try and go after him. He probably thinks enough time has gone past lots of newbies dont know. He is the worst of the worst.

Weird fact though : some of the community are FB friends with him. Do they even know what he did??

Thanks for the heads-up.
I've indeed never heard of this (or him. must check my FB contacts)

I just don't understand why he would do this at all.
If he made a tail and then sold it, why not just sell it to the person it originally was for? :confused:

unless he only parts with tails if it absolutely cannot be avoided, and just keeps the money of everyone who pays beforehand :p
meh.

AniaR
02-19-2014, 10:02 AM
Well he didn't deliver any of the tails or even make them. He is legit the worst. He sold tails for much more than is average now. I contacted him for a quote once. 8-10k starting.

People paid him up to $15,000 and he ran with all of it.

Found this on my hard drive. (Sorry it's so low quality, I didn't really know how to rip videos back then.)


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCodHbqW6qU&feature=youtu.be

He was since fired from the production company he was working for, as noted on Scam Checker here: http://www.scamchecker.com/report/adam-curran-martyn-adam-curran-martyn-fantasea-creatures-or-carpathian-creations

If you put in "adam martyn fantasea creations" into Google you'll come up with all kinds of pages and people posing about it from Twitter, Facebook, to Google and Model Mayhem and beyond.

I also saved the original Seatails.ning forum pages where Selene outed Adam. I uploaded them on a dedicated Dropbox- you can download the files to view them. Find them here:

I want there to never be any question about this guy. He's blacklisted in this community, and hopefully for anyone who would consider going into business with him.

Wow, I really love that news clip though covering it. They covered all the bases, weren't judgmental about it and it was just...a good story done on a horrible incident. Does anyone know around how much money he is hoarding? I didn't think it'd be more than $10k but now it seems like it's definitely more than that. :/ I'm sorry to everyone who was involved in it--but he definitely doesn't belong in this community.

02-19-2014, 11:11 AM
Yes this is one of those cases where you do not give this man a chance. That was how he scammed the last few people. By asking for a chance to redeam himself

I meant up to $15,000 per tail (just to be clear).


(Also, side note- I just got a ton of requests so I just wanted to say that I typically don't add mermaids on my personal FB profile. Nothing against you guys, I promise, I'm just really selective with who I have on there. So if I don't accept your friend request that's why!)

^ HOLY PER TAIL??

malinghi
02-19-2014, 01:04 PM
If I recall, he used to tell his victims that he couldn't make their tails cause his business partner stole all his money. Then he'd tell them that he would definitely make their tail once he was back on his feet, but that he couldn't do that if they told everyone that he was a con man.

His victims so desperately wanted to believe that they would get their tails that most waited a long time to tell people they'd been robbed. I don't blame them. Telling everyone they'd been robbed officially meant they would never get their tails or their money back, while staying silent meant there was still a tiny sliver of hope. Adam Martyn is such a massive piece of shit.

02-19-2014, 03:16 PM
I truley believe he paved the way for others. Because people know he got away with it
He is american though and regardless of where he flees he still needs to hit usa soil periodically and if those mers press charges hell he will be arrested at customs.

i *was* using it. changed it because legal issues and another mermaid with that name who called it first.

back on topic: if he has dual citizenship and he's been scamming in a 2nd country wouldnt he still get arrested because he's scamming in said country?

PearlieMae
02-19-2014, 04:06 PM
Do we know if he is scamming in 2nd country? He may have run there to get away from what he was doing here. Plus, he has to get caught, someone has to press charges...it goes on and on. I hope one day it all catches up to him and he gets what he deserves.

Sure...makes it harder to prosecute him. That's why so many identity thieves work from eastern European countries. Practically impossible to chase down.

Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure he was living in Hungary before he started scamming people- I don't think he fled to Hungary to escape prosecution.

Also, I'm not sure if he originally planned to be a conman. He worked in the fx industry and had experience making tails. He even posted youtube videos showing how he made tails. He may have originally planned to sell tails but then decided to be a conman when he discovered that people were willing to pay the full amount upfront. I don't know what his motivation was.

AniaR
02-19-2014, 05:51 PM
He was in USA when he started working with Melissa, and then went there in the middle of it. I have all the screenshots of her communication with him from back then because I was helping her deal with it.

He talked about making money using his tutorials too. I think I've only known 1 person to have one of his tails, Mer Matt? He's got that old blue one. Looks nothing like the ones Adam shows. And he bought it second hand I believe.

I can't help but wonder where all the money went if it wasn't be spent on the tails? I'm assuming most of them never got made in the first place, unlike the one that was sold to another mer. Like, does he have debts? A drinking problem? Is he shit with money or just a shit person?

Winged Mermaid
02-19-2014, 08:11 PM
Actually Matt only has that tail because he won it in an eBay auction from Mike Van Daal, who originally owned it. Mike ordered before everything went nuts- it was before Adam started making the silicone tails (it's a latex tail). Only people I know that got tails were the chick that got Selene's tail and Venus.

You can see the tail Selene was supposed to get in the video I posted. The Venus tail can be seen in this video- http://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL7FAC68612CA04B3C&v=P3tBg0XNBwI&feature=plpp

Did we actually confirm though that someone else got Selene's tail and that Venus did indeed get that tail?

Winged Mermaid
02-19-2014, 09:17 PM
Well I saw the photos myself back in the day and that was indeed Selene's tail. I actually recognized it right away since she had posted the fluke shape and I think color design somewhere. Venus came on the Seatails Ning and said she got it, but then again no one ever confirmed it was actually her since mods didn't check IPs or anything like I suggested. Maybe ning doesn't have that ability. But I mean since he actually completed the tail id assume that she got it. But no I never saw pics of her in the tail.

AniaR
02-19-2014, 10:10 PM
Yeah just curious because it's easy to say "oh this was for this client" and use it to advertise. I dont remember seeing any evidence anywhere she actually got her tail.

it's funny all that money and I don't think they look any better than the ones out there, and they dont have fins inside.

If the tail existed, why not just sell it to the person it was made for, and avoid all the legal struggle.

02-20-2014, 03:28 PM
I've seen deals like that happen because someone had an item for sale, a client had claim to it already, but someone else offered more money, so the item went to them. It could have been that. But that's speculation, and it doesn't really matter... another fraud is out there. Whee.

So... did he even make that tail he's claiming was his creation in the pic? If everyone who actually knows the situation first hand were to respond to him with links of info, maybe he'd go away.

Adam Martyn was probably the second pro-tailmaker I had ever heard about (Eric was the first) and incidentally, after I initially stumbled upon his videos for making tails, it was his SCAMMING that I learned about before most of anything else (I'd never found his own website, nothing..). Almost EVERYTHING that came up when I searched him was relating to him being a scumbag and scamming people out of loads of money. Maybe my google-fu is skewed so I saw his scams before anything else about him? But I mean, there's SO MUCH out there about how terrible he is, how can any person, mer or otherwise, who spends even 5 minutes googling NOT come across that he stole tens of thousands of dollars from others? It really irks me that he's trying to scam people again because he thinks he's laid low enough for everyone to forget, that's seriously f*cked up.

Mermaid Lilium
02-28-2014, 12:13 PM
funnily enough, the news report about him scamming was one of the first mer videos I saw and was actually what lead me to find MN, until I saw that video I had no idea that a community existed.

His videos were some of the first ones that I found about mermaid costumes on youtube. I always wondered why no one really talked about him here. I'm surprised that someone with such talent would just up and leave like that. Why not just do what you promised to do? Dishonesty confuses me :(

02-28-2014, 05:42 PM
For context, here's the conversation as it unfolded between him and I publicly before he decided to message me privately.

18918

18919

I had a little think about this. Let me see. What is my aim?

My aim is to make sure Adam Martyn never scams a person again, and that his name is attached to what exactly he's done. Like it would be with ANY OTHER CRIMINAL.

Would we not do the same thing if Stevi suddenly came back pretending like nothing happened? You can't burn the community and then expect to be a part of it.

Adam didn't lead to a wave of tail makers. No one uses his approaches. What he did lead to, was a world of scammers. People who saw him get away with it, and started doing it too. Fake websites to take money and tail makers who realized they could just disappear when business went bad.

And as for the mertailor thing, I have to LOL since he clearly doesn't know the history.

and yes, my efforts have ruined his life. LOL cuz you know, he didn't do that all on his own!

AniaR
02-28-2014, 05:57 PM
Here's the rant I just posted in reply to his PM on the splash group. Just posting here in case things gets taken down for one reason or another

So Adam sent me this message, but given the context in the community I feel it's important to discuss it openly.

First off, Robert Short (https://www.facebook.com/robert.short.771) I do apologize your thread melted into this, but I hope you can appreciate the seriousness of the situation and why we want people to be informed. (hence sharing the news clip and proof etc).

We are a community, someone can't just come in and steal thousands and thousands of dollars from people dreaming of being a mermaid, and then waltz back in and have things be okay. It's not okay, and we should never turn a blind eye to a crime like that, or that sort of extorting.

Adam wants to know my goal. It's simple. I want everyone to know what he did for so many years, so they don't fall for his lines, and give him a bunch of money, and never get a tail.

Adam blames others talking about him, for the damage he's experienced, instead of accepting that scamming people is what caused all his problems.

By trying to shift the attention to "oh look at her, she's so sad, taking attention away from Robert." Adam hopes people will overlook his past and pay no attention to the girl behind the curtain! BUt he's got no idea who I am, my history with tail makers when they steal from people or scam. I eat guys like him for lunch, and it's published about in my book So don't be fooled by his distraction tactics meant to divert drama so he does not have to be accountable.

Adam Martyn did not launch a wave of a tail makers. He launched a wave of scammers. Tail Makers like Fishbutts who steal money and don't deliver tails and realize they could just go off the radar and never pay up. Fake tail makers who make websites using other people's photos in order to steal money from unsuspecting mers who just want to reach their dream. I don't know a single tail maker who uses any of Adam's approaches, because quite honestly, they don't work for the community. Not for the type of tails people want and how they want to use them and have the tails function.

As I run my own successful mermaid business, I anticipate problems in the future. That's why I have business insurance. That's why I have clauses in place with all my business partners. That's why I have an emergency line of credit and credit card. That's what a responsible person does. A responsible person doesn't see that business is going poorly, or their partner leaves them, and then decides to take a bunch of money from people full knowing they will not be delivering a product.

Mertailor and I have our issues, which I find funny he brought up mertailor because he apparently doesnt know! Lol. But even Eric, as much as we butt heads, delivers his product. I've never heard of eric EVER taking someone's money and just not giving them a tail and pretending they don't exist and acting normal.

At the end of the day, it's important our community is kept up to date on this. Because stealing large sums of money from people is a crime. Ignoring contracts. Hiding away in another country so you don't have to be accountable. Don't fall for the "life was hard, business was hard" lines. Don't fall for the tricks of "hey look at that person over there instead" lines. Just recognize what is happening here, and if this man private messages you to try and manipulate your view on him, go through all those links of EVIDENCE and ask him to provide counter. I'm not talking let him just say something, but let him prove it, and then make your own judgments.

Thank you admins for allowing this situation to come to light. So members can better protect themselves, and fully know a situation.

That "I eat guys like him for lunch' made me lol when I read it at the group post.

One thing I love about the mer community. We don't have to know each other or be pals or anything, but oh my do we look out for each other. Messing with mers is just a mistake. :)

I would TOTALLY be a man eating mermaid who targets men who pollute or overfish the ocean. Basically Poison Ivy+ Aquaman.

They deleted all of that, but Adam is still in the group. WTF with the Admins of the group?? You'd think that would be more than enough proof to ban him from the group.

He probably threatened legal action like he did a few years ago and people dont realize he can't actually do that. Legal bullying.

I used to look up to him so much! I wanted to buy a tail from him when I was like 6 or 7! I used to watch videos with the tails he made like this ones:

It's great to know he's a con artist !

Those are so pretty. I love the little flukes on the first mermaid. I was thinking of using a Finis Mermaid monofin to make tail with a little fluke. I like the way they look in that video and the way they looked on Anne Blythe in Mister Peabody and the Mermaid (there's a thread on that film here: http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?286-Mr-Peabody-and-the-Mermaid). <3

It really is unfortunate that the guy is still on the Splash group, it makes it possible for him to prey on more people, even if he isn't posting. I imagine the group admin figure if it's not about the group, they won't let it on the group or ban it.

Oh, those were his tails? Sad day in the morning! Those are actually really nice. I wish I knew his waist blending technique. That spotted tail almost has no visible waist. :( Why'd he have to go ripping people off? That upsets me. He had talent, and he wasted it.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw that post and immediately belted out the words.

My boyfriend's looking at me like I just snapped.

You and I must be freaking sisters, then! I'm CONSTANTLY singing, especially when a word or phrase reminds me of a song.
We maybe should move to a different thread so we can just sit there on the rocks and sing together. :D
