Oct 2011 - I retained John Nichols of Visual Blaze to create a web directory to help families looking for dementia resources find help with out having to enter personal information and be inudated with marketing calls. I used the money from my inheritance when my own Mother died of Alzheimer's Disease. I wanted to do something to help other families that were suffering like we did.
From Oct 2011 - May 2012 there was slow "progress" being made and I paid John a total of $11,000.00 as he assured me the project was almost complete. During that time though John was often unreachable for weeks at a time. He always apologized and had some excuse for his disappearence.
Aug 2012 - After a several weeks of not being able to get a response from John he finally contacted me and aplogized again giving me again a whole host of "over the top" excuses of why he was not reachable. I felt bad for him and agreed to just move forward and finally finsh this project.
Jan 2013 - After no response from John since our August correspondence I began to call his other clients to see if he was still in business or had died. A few days later John sent me an email ladden with excuses again and offered to send me back $1000.00 of my $11,000.00 and the files so I could have someone else complete the directory. He never sent the money, the files did not open and he still has not responded to the multiple text, phone and email messsages I have left.
June 2013 - My company cannot afford to sue John and of course he has not responded to me in any way. My only recourse now is to try and prevent other people and businesses from getting scammed by this man. I wish I had been aware of the other rip off report that was posted and I would have never done business with John Nichols. As you can see I am not his first or only victim.
