Beware: Do not buy or use there services!!!

I saw this service and though great as i fancied starting up my own auction site.

So i contacted them and asked them a few questions.

It took them about an hour each time to answer all my questions, so i was extremely impressed, i spoke to a gentleman named christopher or sometime he wrote chris.

So after emailing eachother he told me he would be able to install the auction site i needed if i signed up for hosting at powhost.

So anyway i signed up and paid him money for the domain, hosting etc.

A total of $750.00 for 6 months and the domain.

He told me it was expensive but it would make that back within 2 weeks with all the customers id get etc..

So anyway i believed him and paid him the money,

Then things started going down hill from there!!!!!

I was told he would have the auction site up and running for me within about 6 hours so i waited and didnt hear anything from him.

So i emailed him.....

Didnt get a reply.

another 4 hours went by..... Still no reply

Finally after 3 days i had a reply, he emailed me the following

''What the F**K do you want''

I said back to him politely '' where is my website''

His response was '' it'll be done when its ready now p**s off, or i wont do it at all.

So i replied by saying '' Well why did you tell me it would only take 6 hours and it has been 3 days so far, and why when i was asking you questions before i paid were you emailing me back within an hour each time and as soon as i paid you, now you give me attitude and lied and being abusive to me??''

His reply

'' Cause i f**king want to thats why, now i aint going to bother doing your website at all now''

So i asked if i could have a refund seeming that i had paid him by bank transfer and he said '' Like f**k are you having a refund, now f**k off before i come to your home and kill you and your family''

So anyway i was scared so i backed off, then i took a stand and contacted trading standards, they told me there was nothing i could do really except contact my bank and see if they could help.

I contacted my bank and they couldnt help me.

So i went on to some scam forums to see if i could find any information out,

I told the forum what i have written here and Chris went onto the forum and said that i was a jealous ''c**t who was no good'' he also went on there and put my name and address which he had when i signed up to his powhost hosting website,

I emailed him and asked him why he did that and he said it wasnt him, but even if it wasnt him, he was the only one who could of had my details and put them on a public forum for everyone to see!!!!! which even if it wasnt him he's still broken the data protection act and privacy act by giving my details out to someone without my consent!!!!

basically ive been screwed out of $750.00 for nothing.

Please do not fall victim to this savage company.

If you speak to a gentleman name Chris or Christopher then he will seem nice but as soon as you pay him thats when he changes.

He even give my details out so if you sign up with this company then god knows what he is doing with peoples details.

They are scammists!!!

I just hope people read this and i have helped people, i just wish i had the help,
