I recently requested a project to be completed by Michael Mann of webmediaprojects.com (Web Media Projects Inc.)
The project brief was to create a clone of the popular games site King.com. We agreed on the price of $3000 USD and also decided to stage the payments into 3 lots. $1000 for the initial deposit, $1000 after completion and $1000 to get the site. I sent two $500 payments on the 9th October and 19th October to cover the 1st payment and he began work soon after, or so he said.
Proof of payment 1 on 9th October: www.yikz.com/mmpaypal1
Proof of payment 2 on 19th October: www.yikz.com/mmpaypal2
It was due to be completed by the end of 2007. He missed a total of 11 deadlines and maintained the delays were due to the complexity of the site and staff problems. So i gave him a final deadline of Sunday 6th April for the site to be delivered or I would request a complete refund.
So 6th April came and went with no delivery.
So i asked why he missed the final deadline and he said
"What 11th deadline? What are you talking about?"
Kevin, I will not take any more of your abuse. Your email address is banned from our server. Your project is cancelled.

Michael Mann"

So i did a search of Michael Mann and saw many reports, including complaints, who had been scammed by him and his company. I replied with a link to one of those stories requesting a full refund and he replied
"Yeah all of you guys that are pissed off with me cite my ex-employees postings to support your theory that our company is doing you wrong
Too bad. Your site would have been very popular
Regards
Michael Mann"

I see Michael Mann is also the subject of many other disgrunted clients usacomplaints. Coms.com and I have contacted Tayside Police (my local police) seeking advice on how to pursue this. Im also in the process of contacting Gulfport police regarding this matter.
