I engaged the Design Boyz for a website project after they responded to my Odesk job posting. Their proposal seemed well thought out and they were generally professional. I should have realized that red flags were popping up as the project progressed.
Every time I spoke to them, they asked about being paid additional amounts of money (price of project agreed upon up front with the understanding that 50% would be paid up front and 50% upon successful completion of the job). When I told them that I would not pay additional money until I saw some results, they began to withdraw and stop responding to emails/calls.
When they told me that they need additional money because payroll time is coming and they need to pay their employees, I told them no again (need to see results first). At that point, they completely stopped responding. Dealing with the credit card company to get my money back now.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!
They did my site and asked for money and after it was fully paid they disappeared without finishing my website. I worked with Robert John. Now I hate this person. I paid over $1500 for my website. Everytime I try to reach them, they never pick up phones, all address are fake (England, Australia - fake addresses). They based somewhere in India. How can people operate like that? Unbelievable.
I hired the design boyz to redesign my website. They asked for part payment straight away and every now and then would ask for more payment to be made. When the whole thing was paid they stopped working on my site and refused to answer any of my emails or phone calls.
My site is unfinished and some of the things I had to ask them to do was just ridiculous - things like asking them to make all the boxes in a form the same height, or asking them to format the date and time correctly. etc I cant believe how stupid I was in trusting them. Beware do not use the design boyz
