Alexander Group Media Limited Auckland City
Complaint #: 283
BEWARE OF DEAN ALEXANDER 
Where do we even start? Long story short, we took Dean Alexander of Alexander Group Media Limited to court back in October 2018 as he basically stole money off us and didn’t provide the service he promised. He didn’t show up to the court hearing, he then filed for a rehearing and was granted it due to having a doctors certificate, but he didn’t turn up to that rehearing in December 2018 either. He was ordered to pay us $4,812.00 and today, after loads of promises we have not seen a cent.
His company, AGM Digital or Alexander Group Media Limited, has now gone into receivership. Interestingly though, he went into receivership on 12 March 2019, then only three days later it’s all done and dusted; no creditors were contacted during this time. More interestingly, the Receiver (J. M Gilbert of C & C Strategic Limited) has been in prison for fraud previously. He was also the Receiver for Gopher, another fraudulent company Dean Alexander was involved with.
The following links are all in relation to Dean:
http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/3820966/Conmans-sentence-labelled-ridiculous. His real name isn’t Dean Alexander, it was Dean Artmani and Dean Benfell previously.
This is a youtube video that someone has recently posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaP0uqTtw5g.
This is another court case regarding him and an ex-employee: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12149502, which we know he hasn’t paid out yet.
There are various court cases going on with him at the moment and he owes ALOT of people money.
STAY AWAY FROM ANY COMPANY THAT HE IS INVOLVED WITH. See here for a list of those companies: https://app.companiesoffice.govt.nz/companies/app/ui/pages/individual/search?q=Dean+Stephen+Peter+ALEXANDER&roleType=ALL&indEntityTypes=ALL&indEntityStatusGroups=ALL&indShrStatus=ALL&advancedPanel=true&mode=advanced&expandedResults=#results

These guys just don't quit, do they? I just searched "gopher" on this site and got a shock at the number of complaints aganist them. Good lord!
He has now packed up and moved to Nelson and started a new company (https://v2.org.nz/). This man needs to be stopped before he causes more damage to more peoples lives!!
Im not in Nelson Idiot, and not a new company.
Lud - Please enlighten me as to how 'people lives are being damaged' - drama-queen.
Amazingly talented at searching Google, not much of an IQ when it comes to separating fact from fiction.
Do you really have nothing better to do than bitch, moan & make up fanciful stories about companies that refuse to supply you company services?
Tai - ‘stole’ is not quite accurate is it? tribunal re-hearing is set for the coming months, so let’s wait for the outcome and keep the warrior away from the keyboard.
If you did your research properly then no doubt you would have come across numerous awards, accolades & reviews, both professionally & for all the companies I’ve worked for over the last 10 years in this industry, which of course are redacted.
Yes, in my mid-twenties after returning from a decade overseas I hacked Westpac bank, an intrusion that was so technically proficient that the police, to this day, have no idea how it was accomplished, just so where on the same page, now in my mid 40’s that’s almost two decades ago. There was no ‘con’ artistry or fraud charges, only accessing a computer for dishonest purpose. If any conclusion can be drawn it is that obviously I know what I’m doing with computer systems & the most qualified to build digital ad platforms.
I paid my debt on the day, now have no criminal record & only the odd parking ticket in the last 18 years. In the eyes of the government, by law, I have earned the write to be forgotten, however If you really want to harp on about ‘how I’m out to get everyone’ then sobeit, really it's just a minor irritation and of no consequence.
AGM is now in fact in liquidation, as was planned.
If anyone needs updating or has any (current) issues they would like to discuss please feel free to call on 021 779 038,
Cheers,
Dean Alexander

STAY AWAY FROM DODGY DEAN ALEXANDER AND DON'T DO ANY BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH HIM!
His claims about no criminal record above are a crock and he definitely has a criminal record from well within the last 10 years. Convicted fraudster.
May have not been the mastermind of the Gopher/Saturn 6 scandal but definitely is for part of Alexander Vale and fully AGM digital.

This is criminal record search is clean because the individual Dean Alexander changed his identity from DEAN ARTMANNI which is the the name he was prosecuted and sentenced under.
Here’s a text that we received out of the blue yesterday by Dean Alexander: “Just an update, still got my house in st helliers, my Bentley & oh yeah, your money. Who you going to cry too now, your mummy?â€.
Not too sure what he is playing at.
Not too sure what he is playing at.
Since his last random text he has now taken the racist route, calling my husband a dumb black c*** and a n*****. He is a disgusting human being.
@LuD: That's just nasty. What a low life Pr*ck! I'm sorry you had to read that. He will get his just deserts at some point.
If someone can post his St Helliers address and/or number plate for his Bentley here, I'd appreciate it. Or, send them to me privately by clicking on my username and then using the "Email this Member" option.

Steve VALE - EX CEO Alexander Vale (Webgurus), Simon MURRY (SMP Print), Tai DIXON (Stump something not important) - Yes just the four of you are completely obsessed, it would be actually quite flattering if you weren't so moronic to the point of bewilderment.
I do so enjoy logging in every six months for an update on you fanatical fictions.
This years highlight has to be Simon Murry's brilliant insight into NZ's legal system, pointing out the very forgiving law that allows criminals to expunge conviction records by simply changing identity.
I wonder if the same law may assist Simon, if he changed identity would be still be an idiot?
Unfortunately this didn't help newcomer Tyson with his idiocracy, although I may have 'expunged' my recollection of being married along with my criminal record.
Dam it, she got the car:(
Until Next year, Cheers.

From STUFF.CO.NZ 26/02/13
A home detention sentence for a fraudster who scammed shoppers on Trade Me and Ebay – and who robbed the bank account of a 12-year-old boy – has been labelled "ridiculous" by victims.
Dean Artmanni, 34, also known as Dean Benfell and Dean Alexander, was yesterday given six months home detention for over taking a total of $35,000. He faced 14 counts of accessing a computer for a dishonest purpose, one of receiving and one of using a document to obtain a service dishonestly.
"How ridiculous – what, so he can sit at home and play on his computer?" said Joanne Jenkins, a Christchurch woman whose bank account Artmanni stole from.
Artmanni transferred money from bank accounts, sold non-existent goods. He was also charged with receiving gold bars and jewellery stolen from a former Auckland City councillor whose house he was renting.
Court documents showed his principal method was simple – advertise an item on internet auction sites, wait for payment, then not deliver.
He set up bank accounts in Australia online and used them to fool Australian buyers into believing he was selling computer equipment, usually laptops.
He duped nine Australians into paying him amounts up to A$1575 (NZ$1950).
His activities became the focus of several internet chat forums and an internet page devoted to his exploits – Artmanni At Large – was set up.
Auckland man Nathan Bevin teamed up with a South Australian lawyer representing victims after Artmanni moved in with him as a flatmate, then stole his laptop.
Bevin said the $750 reparation he was awarded was a token and his satisfaction came from helping other victims gain a voice.
Judge Graham Hubble sentenced Artmanni in the Auckland District Court yesterday to six months home detention and ordered up-front reparation of $25,000, which was paid by a cheque Artmanni handed to the court.
