Freddy Belch, Zo Klimowicz, Fred Belch, Gd Lab BEWARE OF SCAM EXPERTS!! Freddy Belch and Zo Klimowicz internet developers and owners of Gd Lab!! Taylorsville Utah
In 2009 Freddy Belch and Zo Klimowicz promise to build a website for me but instead they built nothing but debt for me to pay off. I paid Freddy Belch over $8,000 over a several months to build a website. Every time Freddy came to pick up a check I asked him to please show me their progress but he always told me "later". At some point of time Zo became very uncooperative and unprofessional and had to excuse himself from all conversations and meetings due lack of professional conduct. Over several months Freddy Belch promise to deliver a functional website but not once did he show me any line of code, graphic design or framework. He showed me NOTHING! The day Freddy came to collect his another check, I begged him to please show me something... anything! and all he said was "make another payment and I will next week". I told him I will not pay another cent until he showed me what I have paid for so far. Freddy got frustrated and angry and confessed he wasn't developing the project and that hinted that the money and project was being held for ransom. I told Freddy show me my website or I will forced to file a lawsuit. He refused...
I file a law suit against Freddy Belch and Zo Klimowicz and won against Freddy Belch by default for over $9,000. Zo worked very hard at hiding from the process servers and using friends and family to cover for him. Freddy didn't even have the courage to show up to court. I have spent years calling, emailing and trying to track Freddy Belch down to get my money back. Every time I got Freddy to reply he would just make excuses and verbally attack me and blame his failure on me. It is now June 2014 and I am still suffering the financial consequences of doing business with Freddy and Zo. These guys have no morals, no ethics, no conscious, no remorse, no guilt and have no desire to conduct their life with any professional ethics!
I will never end my hunt to get my hard earned money back that Freddy and Zo stole to spend on everything but my website. Instead I'm sure they spent it on their cars, women, food, entertainment but not my project!
If a customer pays a developer money, whatever a developer creates with that money belongs to the customer PERIOD!
BEWARE of Freddy Belch, Zo Klimowicz and Gd Lab. They are thief's and will rip you off!
Don't walk, RUN AWAY from them!!

There is only 1 problem with this report... it is only half the story.
Here is my side of the story....
We met Ian for lunch and when he got done bragging about how he sued his own mother in court I immediately backed out of the project. I made $300 commission for introducting Ian to Fred and went on to other projects of my own. Fred took the project on and outsourced it to India. From what I heard they didn't finish the project because Ian kept making changes and demands. Finally they got fed up wiht the projcet and in turn screwed Freddy over and didn't return any of the web development money he had paid to them. I'm guessing he was too embarrassed to share this with you (which was a mistake on his part). I have not had contact with Fred in years, I've emailed him but can't get a response. I had no idea what happened after that. If you are unhappy I apologize.
I have completed over 1000 projects with over 300 clients over the last 20 years and of those this has been by far the most frustrating and difficult to deal with for everyone involved.
Bottom line, we didn't rip you off, not intentionally. In fact I actually remember doing some design and logo work that I didn't get paid for, but hey, things happen. The project went south and for that I'm sorry, we don't want it to happen, but it happens.
Again that is my side of the story take it or leave it.
Here is my contact info, if you'd like to discuss this further. Hope you have a better day.
