    So Adam Martyn is still around..

    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..

    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.

    I never heard of him and yet I thought I read everything here or almost.
    What is the story, Iona?
    What happened?

    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?

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

    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.)



    He was since fired from the production company he was working for, as noted on Scam Checker here: http://www.scamchecker.com/report/ad...hian-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.

    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!)

    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.

    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.
