I used getafreelancer.com to find a webdesigner to build me a website for my business. I chose develop123.com because they seemed to know what they were talking about and understood what I was trying to do. They formulated a Scope of Work document and communication was excellent. I paid $1000. As a deposit and the 1/3 payment for the site. The balance was supposed to be due upon completion of the second stage of the website and upon completion.
The Scope of Work document outlined a timeline for completion. Whenever I called to get a status, they said they were backed up or were currently working on it and will get it to me soon. Delay after delay. Michael Mann told me a story about his wife having to have a breast lump looked at and an abnormal Pap smear test so he was out of town for a week. While I told him that I understood his situation, I needed a screenshot or something of the work in progress. Again, he promised and again it didn't come thru.
First email contact to me was on April 25. Work was supposed to be delivered 10 days after May 11th (the date of acceptance of the Scope of Work document). It is now July 1st and I have yet to receive any proof of work being done.
I have contacted getafreelancer.com and they are looking into doing something about this, but cannot get my money back. I have sent a paypal back to his requesting my $1000 back. I would like to join with any other victims of this unscrupulous character to take legal action.
