Fraudsters close up shop
In July of 2005, I hired Rachel Doyle of Web-Divas to redesign my blog, which at that time was being hosted on Blogger. She came highly recommended by Ree-C, of Rightmom and Lone Star Times fame. Stupidly, I paid about $160 bucks, all in advance. You can guess what happened next: weeks and then months rolled by with little apparent progress. More than a dozen polite, but increasingly frustrated, emails and telephone calls went unreturned.
She ripped me off.
Today, I happened across this little gem on the Web-Divas site:
Web-Divas is closing its doors after almost 3 years. We are thankful for each and every Client who made us what we became. At this time the health and well-being of our families needs to come first. We just want to say thank you for everything!
Love Rachel & Cherry
Good riddance, scumbag.
They do HOSTING as well?
Good gawd, I can only imagine THAT experience.
Yeah. Oh, did I mention I paid them for hosting? Here’s my blog as they’re currently hosting it. It should have a nice custom design and stuff, but that was never done. Scumbags.
I emailed Rachel when I saw they closed. She replied:
“You know I’m not sure what to say anymore. I myself was screwed over by Cherry ok? I haven’t heard from her in almost 5 months and that was a 5 minute IM conversation. Before that it was 3 months. *I* never screwed anyone out of their money. Thanks.â€
BOO FREAKING HOO!! Hard to feel sorry for someone who never responded to email, never apologized, and now tries to pass the buck.
She claims she never screwed anyone? That’s a good one.
Cherry was completely uninvolved in my project, so Rachel can’t use that excuse on me. I hired Rachel and I sent money to a PayPal account under Rachel’s name. Rachel stole from me. Rachel sucks.
