“Unwaged” Duncan Oldham’s lavish lifestyle

On the KopTalk VIP sign-up page, you will read the following pronouncement from Duncan Oldham:

“None of us receive a wage although with your contribution, we might be able to buy a few pies and treat ourselves to the odd pint! The site is not run to make any kind of profit, we simply need to pay the costs in providing the website.”

However, once you’ve handed over your money to enter the VIP forum, a very different picture emerges. Members there are subjected to Oldham’s incessant boasts about his lavish lifestyle.

Here are some of the luxuries he has been able to treat himself to with the proceeds of scamming Liverpool fans (click on the links for further details):

A Mercedes-Benz CLK Coupe Kompressor

April 2001

“I’m now a Mercedes Benz owner, which is a dream come true for me.”

Oldham even posted photographs of it on his personal website (you can see them in their original form here and here)

“Since KopTalk was launched I’ve bought myself four Mercedes and a 52-inch TV.”

16 May 2006

I’d alwalys wanted a Merc as a kid. . I remember back in 1999/2000 looking into a second hand car showroom window late one night. I said to Maria, “You see that (2nd hand Merc worth £16k), even I won’t be able to afford a second hand Merc in my life.”

6 years on and I’ve just ordered my 4th. I had a CLK Coupe and then went into a Cabriolet. I was never keen on convertibles but I knew the kids would love it. My mates never believe me though when I say that is the only reason I bought one. So I had a black Cabriolet, then sold it for a silver one which I have now but I miss the black which is why I went back to see Dave, even though my current motor’s only 11 months old.

I’ll cut a long story short and will just say that I agreed to dig deep and buy the Sport edition. I’ve got all the specs I want that I’ve become used to. They’re coming to collect my current car on Sunday and then it’ll be a case of sitting tight until mine is delivered direct from Germany.

I’m just one of the lads at the end of the day. So I have a nice car, well I plough all my money into things that I can show for my money. For example, I have a nice 52″ TV at home.


“I’ve built up a little property empire over the past eight years”

A Lil Bit Of This, A Lil Bit Of That
Tuesday, April 1, 2008 (11:10 AM)

I’ve also priced up a flatscreen HDTV to hang on the wall outside (but to take in at night!) which means the kids can hook up an XBOX 360.

Next door there’s another brand new detached villa. That’s been empty ever since I bought this place. My mind has been working overtime seeing it just laid there empty so I’m considering putting an offer in for it. This would be an ideal investment opportunity with my children in mind. I have some great ideas about this and I expect to make something happen next week while I’m England.

I like to dabble in the property markets and have built up a little empire over the last 8 years. Nothing spectacular but something to be proud of considering my roots. Next month I will be on my travels to a new country that I’m looking at, hopefully I will be able to bring you some footage of that depending on how things go. I’ve got an interest in America, Malta, Spain and England but there’s somewhere else I’ve been considering for some time. Bulgaria is a country of interest but there are many risks so I’m unsure about that route for at least another year or so. Where I’m going is just a recon trip… I’ll tell you more when I can.

“During the past year I’ve been on holiday to six different countries and I’ve bought two new houses.”

During the last year I’ve been travelling all over the world. We’ve been to America, Canada, France, Malta, Portugal and Spain.

One of my favourite interests is horse racing… obviously I don’t ride them lol! My favourite race track is Wetherby which is why I recently bought a property there.

I’m fortunate in that I also have family overseas (me mam). I recently bought a lovely pad close to where me mam lives so when England’s getting too depressing and cold I can **** off on a flight and escape things for a few days.

At the moment I tend to do a week or two home and then a week or two away depending on Liverpool’s fixtures.

A home cinema system, a HDTV projector, a multi-sat system, an Xbox 360 and an iPod

Re: Audio / Home Cinema System Help Required [Re: The Reaper]
Dunk  Site Editor

I have the Xbox 360 hooked up to a HDTV projector. This in turn is connected to the the computer so that I can access my music on the 360. The ipod is also connected to the 360 by USB.

The sound is pumped around the room by a home cinema system making 360 games sound very, very realistic in terms of (racing, war games etc).

The multi-sat system is connected to the PC so I can watch the footy on the pc or the big screen. Alternatively I can also use the projection screen as the computer’s monitor using a wireless keyboard.


A detached eight-bedroom villa in Spain with its own pool and no mortgage

Dunk Aug 20, 2009

NOTE TO THE FAN BOYS: The best thing you ever did was starting you campaign against me because I’ve gone from a Terraced House in Scarborough to a Semi Detached in Wallsend to a Detached 8 bedroom villa in Spain with its own pool and no mortgage. If I was you, I’d hate me too.

Nov 13th – “I believe it’s down to that magazine that I find myself in a detached villa in Spain with my own pool, no mortgage (as I own the place outright), pretending to work every day!!”


Around 20 laptops and PCs, and a new Mac

06:25 PM Macbook Pro or iMac or Mac Pro
Dunk  Site Editor

The time has come… what do I go for?

I have several laptops and several PC’s.. probably around 20 here just for KopTalk stuff!

But I don’t know what to go for?

Is it stupid buying another laptop? I bought one with an integrated webcam only a few weeks ago. But then again, I also have tons of PC’s.

Why am I getting one? Because everyone keeps telling me I must have one!!!!!

I’ve been active in the property market for some time with a couple of friends. It’s taken nearly a year for this one to be sorted but Smoove’s brother has been a great help.
The best thing is buying, doing up and selling or buying to rent out. This one’s for me though, I love it out here and with Steve now running the site and learning more and more stuff, it means I can concentrate on things away from the net.


A big van with a mobile office in the back (with one or two PCs, CCTV/webcam, one or two TVs, digital TV reception, VHF or UHF radio system, broadcasting gear and a microwave) a paparazzi-style camera, a Corsa van and a third van

1) Anyone know much about professional photography? I want to buy a paparazzi style camera and lense this season for use when we go on missions. Sell us a camera

2) Been trawling dealership for a van for the site. We have a small Corsa van but we want something Ford Transit size so we can have a mobile office in the back. Sell us a van
Barcelona coverage on KopTalk

On Friday we’ll collect our new van (I think we’re getting two now – 1 now and 1 in March as I managed to get £8,500 knocked off one of them!). Once we have that we’ll show you photos of ‘before and after’. We’re already drawing up the plans that include:

* 1 or 2 computers

* digital tv reception for Sky Sports News
* VHF or UHF radio system for contact between ourselves etc
* broadcasting gear for KopTalk radio
* Steve’s bed!
* My microwave!


A PDA, an internet-enabled computer in every room of his house and a laptop at the side of his bed

Living on the net? Dunk Administrator

While sat inside Anfield (and other stadiums) (PLEASE NOTE: OLDHAM HAD NOT BEEN TO ANFIELD IN SIX OR SEVEN YEARS AT THIS POINT), I use my PDA to browse these forums. I even do this when at reserve games (PLEASE NOTE: OLDHAM HAD NOT BEEN TO A RESERVE MATCH IN EVEN LONGER).

I also have a laptop at the side of my bed so I can browse the web when I wake up in the early hours… I have an internet enabled computer in every room in the house apart from the bathroom… I always travel with the laptop even if I pop out for just a half hour drive… and while watching a film at the cinema or at home I’m signed into MSN on my PDA…

“I have another house in the north of England”

Duncan Oldham  April 2008
Back in England

I’m back in England for a quick visit. I have a house in the north and will be staying here until later in the week.

More overseas travel and overseas properties

Duncan Oldham
April 2008

Next month I will definitely be travelling overseas though. I’m visiting a lovely country to look at some properties and with a bit of luck I will be able to milk the trip into a bit of a holiday. I will be taking the camcorder, camera and laptop but I have no idea what the availability will be like with regards internet access.

“I have enough spare cash to invest £10-£20,000 in a new project”

Duncan Oldham
April 2008
Several Projects

I’m currently speaking to developers, investors and web hosting companies to determine what kind of monies would be required to provide a user friendly, fully moderated networking website for friends and people with the same interests in video creation and blogging.

I’ll be honest, at present I’m concentrating on the costings and viability. I am prepared to invest 10k > 20k dollars of my own money if there’s enough support.

Two properties in Spain, one of which he bought without even needing to take out a mortgage

New House
Tuesday, August 5, 2008 (8:38 AM)

I’m currently uploading a video to my YouTube account where I talk about some developments that have enabled me to proceed with the house without having to borrow any money at all. I’m ecstatic because it means I will have 2 properties here now and with 2 children of my own, that’s their future pretty much secured and that’s all that matters to me.

I’m unsure where I will live full time. Ideally I will have one property to work from and one to live in. I haven’t had to borrow but I still have to pay for it if that makes sense.

A new office in Spain (in addition to the two properties there) with ten PCs and live satellite feeds from all over the world (whatever that last bit means)

27 November 2008
An Update From KopTalk HQ
NEW OFFICE

Since moving to Spain we haven’t had the office environment that we are used to. Steve is in Spain with me but we work from different locations which is ok in the modern world due to the internet but we really do need to spend more time together. As a result I recently acquired some new premises and Steve is busy working on setting things up for us.

We will have around 10 PC’s set-up just for KopTalk along with our live satellite feeds from all over the world so that we can monitor things for you.

Holidays in Las Vegas, New York and New Orleans

Things To Look Forward To
17 July 2009 – By Dunk

I like to look forward to things in life. I like to have something to be focused on, it motivates me knowing that I have something to look forward to so I’ve booked a week’s holiday in Las Vegas and I’m hoping to visit New Orleans before the year is out.

While in Nevada I will be visiting Area 51! I’m really excited about that!

I’m definitely going to see Liverpool take on Manchester United having confirmed my flights and hotel and I’ve booked a week in New York during the first quarter of 2010.

An iPhone

I’ll be getting one. I just wish it had been on another network as I hate O2. I guess I’ll have to swallow my pride and go back to them \:\(

Just ordered the elite. Will report back soon \:\)

Trips to India

Dunk Dec 2 2008

I’m planning a trip to India next year and would love to vlog that experience but we shall have to wait and see if I can squeeze that in.

Sky HD

I pre-ordered Sky HD ages ago which is a good job as the waiting list is now around 3 months. I wanted it in before the World Cup kicked off so I rejected an offer from Sky to have the installation put off until July in return for £20. They moved the install date by 2 days and already gave me £20 but I want the bloody thing for the footy so there’s no way I’d accept £200 never mind £20!

05/01/10 07:36 PM UK PAYG internet mobile phone?
Dunk   Editor
I wondered if you could help me please.
I’m due to vist England shortly and don’t want to use my Spanish iPhone while over as it cost me £600 for just 1 week in America.
I was wondering if there are any reasonable PAYG deals on offer these days that enable you to access the internet i.e. browser, Facebook, Twitter even.

Anyone getting one? I must confess I’ve ordered one from America, only the basic wi-fi model though. It will be ideal for me.
I have a Mac Book Pro but there are times when I need to get online without a lot of fuss. I am forever on the iPhone while watching TV etc monitoring the site, reading emails, monitoring news feeds and so on. So to get that bigger screen will be fantastic.

I’m loving the iPad. It’s brilliant for the site, email, Facebook, browsing, music, videos… what a great piece of kit.
