I have a full conversation and documents, SRS regarding the project I wanted to develop with help of logicspice consultancy. I choose Logicspice/phpMaestro for the project over freelancer.com. They were very good when the conversation started and seemed a very nice company. They got me in trust that they can develop the project I was discussing. It was a servicing website where users can register and add their services and the another type of user can enqire about the services. They sent me a really nice long SRS of around 40 pages. They agreed to do it in the budget of $4000(although a lot of other freelancers were willing to do the same in just $2500, but still I choose them as they have good profile rating over freelancer.com)
They kept the easy tasks at the top of SRS and kept the high percentage of amount to be paid in initial stage of the project. There were 6 Milestones of the project and when the first 3 Milestone were done, I had already paid 60% of the total amount that is $2800.
You'll get an idea of the payment structure after seeing the following:-
Milestone 1: $1000
Milestone 2: $1000
Milestone 3: $800
Milestone 4: $500
Milestone 5: $500
Milestone 6: $200
I never noticed that they always kept high payments in the initial stage (although initial modules were less time taking and were really easy). When all the modules were completed according to their SRS, the total project was not even working well. It was showing a lot of fatal errors and warnings. When I asked to correct all the erros they asked me to pay additional amount of $2000 to remove all errors. I didn't think it was a good idea to do that. So I just aksed for the code that they have developed so far. They also refused me to give the code at first but after a few long talks and wasting a lot of time I got the code (which is not working till now).
They also made a lot of attempts and forced me to post a 5 Star rating on their profile over freelancer.com. When I refused to do so they posted review for me and have not informed me.
This project is not working till now, although it was planned to be live 2 months ago. I've already hired another company to do the project. My advice to you is, please STAY AWAY! BE WARNED!. Do not work with them. They are real frauds. And please do not work with them only because they have really good rating over freelancer.com. Manish shrimal is a fraud person. Stay away.
PS: I am still trying to get a refund of the amount (Not the full refund, but some part of it) If they don't pay it back within 1 month, that is before 8/05/2015, I'll post all the SRS and documents of conversation on the following URL :-
