This is taken from the IC3 COMPLAINT REFERRAL FORM
On or about 08/24/06 my company / I was serching for a web designer to develope a website for our
company. During the search I contacted Cybernet Productions via their email contact us page.
Immediately I received a phone call from Efrain (Fred) Miramontes, stating his desire to do the job for us.
He requested that I send via email the description of the site desired so that he could bid the job. I did so.
Upon his receipt, he forwarded a bid for the job via email and phone call, with a contract for services. After
changes to the contract which included a more thorough explanation of the desired specs of the site, I
transmited a copy to him on Sept, 8th 2006. He sighned and faxed back the copy and called me
requesting the down payment be wire transferred to his account;Name of Bank: Bank of America
Bank Location: Culver City, California USA
Account Name: Cybernet Productions
Routing # 122000661
Account # 0348409812
Swift # bofaus6s
I did so: 09/08/06 Wire Transfer Withdrawl Wt02 Ref002276 Bk Amer Sf 060908019178 Cybern
$1,600.00
At that time he began work on the site. I was required to transmit via email numerous instructions for the
design and layout as well as the copy to be placed in the site.
Over the last two months he requested
additional monies be transmitted with a dedicated appearance of progress of the site on his website for
review being displayed. Each time the work was behind what was promised but with an excuse of data
base linkage being necessary to display same up to date progress. I was duped into sending the following
monies;
10/03/06 Wire Transfer Withdrawl Wt02 Ref000812 Bk Amer Sf 061003006523 Cybern
$1,200.00
10/10/06 Wire Transfer Withdrawl Wt02 Ref000425 Bk Amer Sf 061010005417 Cybern
$2,500.00
10/20/06 Wire Transfer Withdrawl Wt02 Ref002000 Bk Amer Sf 061020019594 Cybern
$2,900.00
In order for him to proceed any further with the project. I felt that so much money had been sent already
that I had no choice but to keep going after 2 months of hard work involved and the need for our company
to have this site become operational for our clients. We are currently losing many thousands of dollars in
lost revenue due to the in accessability of the web site.
After sending the last payment of $2,900 to him he ceased answering calls and emails and has not
responded to numerous attempts of contact to resolve the delivery of the product or live up to the contracts
in place. I can only assume that I have been duped and defrauded!
It has been almost 3 weeks now since the last contact from him and we are a start up business that cannot
afford to be defrauded by this criminal. I have every email ever sent as well as phone records of every call.
(I have the executed copies of the contracts that were signed)
I don't know what to do next. Please help so that this does not happen to anyone else his contact info tranmitted to me via fax:
