Report Attachments
This company defrauds vendors by ignoring invoices, but in our case we got special treatment.
We are experts in high level search engine optimization, and we were contacted because MyrtleBeachNow.com had incurred a Google penalty and was not performing in the search. We fixed that problem, but were not paid in over 5 months. When this happened, we threatened to use ethical SEO recourse (like this site) and publicize the fraud when people search for their company or personal names. They then blamed us for the rank loss, claiming we criminally accessed their servers, etc.
Their litigator, Reese Boyd III contacted us, attempting to intimidate us with a "contract" that suggested criminality and required a promise to "undo" whatever they thought we did (we actually never even had access to their servers). The unethical motive behind this document was to impose conditions on an existing debt - such a "contract" would never hold up under legal examination in any US court. We insisted on unconditional payment and after pointing out the legal missteps in his inaccurate, libelous and inappropriate document, Boyd agreed to unconditional payment.
A month later, still unpaid, we start getting calls directly from Reese Boyd III, basically harassing us and attempting to impose further conditions on payment. Some of the websites publicizing our dispute were starting to rank, Trey Harris started finding them, and sent Boyd on an errand to intervene. Never mind the promise to pay unconditionally. Boyd even told us that the check was in his hands dated a month ago, all ready to be sent, but... Of course, the conditions now are that the sites publicizing Trey's bad behavior have to come down.
We now view Reese Boyd III as complicit with the motives of Trey Harris, DSLmarketing.com, MyrtleBeachNow.com, and Chris Crowl in attempting to defraud us of our fees. We still have not been paid, and we are aware of other vendors similarly defrauded.
