MechTemplates: Scammer or incompetent? Advice needed - GoFuckYourself.com

NaughtyNerdy · 04-04-2014, 11:02 PM

Commissioned MechTemplates for a tour, members area and blog design + implementation.
Quoted 2 week job by Jason Miller from mechTemplates, paid invoice 21 Jan, STILL no results. Absolutely latest deadline I needed the project for already way over due. Nearly no point in me getting the new layout and shit now as it was for a specific even and there is just no time to even get it up and functioning let alone having it look like I want and paid the designer for. It's over 2 months late!!

They seemed to have ok rep but IDK what the fuck is going on. Not getting responses on skype, guy is pussy footing about the issue.

I want to get a refund but IDK what to do. Advice?

--------------------------
Oder of events:

Shit is agreed apon, invoice sent, received & paid on 21st of January 2014.

Left in the fucking lurch, no work done thats anything other than super super basic (not even a full layout idea / draft for the tour) by mid Feb, after excuses of personal drama, which I left slide for a week and a bit.

Emailed on March 1 I need this job completed, integrated and tested, by April at the absolute latest and that personal BS isn't an acceptable excuse When you accept a job you do it, or if you can't you refund.

It's already past absolute latest deadline given, and my actual deadline is tomorrow.

Seen a mock up for tour, mock up still isn't finished for members area (and is a hack copy + paste of my current members area), no blog or other pages quoted for like biopage etc done. Clearly no coding or integration done yet.

oaded post. Not sure where to start...

Likely not the best email to send.

There was lots of email / skype messages in between, and each time I requested an update I was told he hadn't started or done much yet, because of xyz personal reason, for weeks after I'd paid my invoice. Because I wasn't seeing anything done at all, and was getting replies to my emails / messagtes days after I sent them that didn't explain anything or update me but looked like stalling I had to make it clear that I had a deadline, which is why I went with them as they said 2 week turnaround time.

Exact email reads:

Quote:

Hello Jay / Jason.

The invoice sent to me on the 21st of January was paid on the same day via paypal.

I understand there has been illness and other disruptions on the part of your designer, however it has been 6 weeks since my invoice was paid. I was quoted 2 weeks for this job.

So far I've seen nothing but mock-up screenshots of the design, which didn't follow my instructions as per my email to Jason on the 7th of February (which had an attached screenshot of what I wanted.)

I was last contacted via skype on the 25th of February (5 days ago) with an updated design mock up, which I replied to what not what I'd asked for. I have received no reply back and no update.

I would like to have an ETA for my design as well as prompt communication, and clear following of my design requirements. I need this job completed, integrated and tested, by April at the absolute latest.

Please respond within 24 hours.

Regards

When you accept a job, you do it. If you can't, you refund.

I've done work for him in the past. Not a scammer.
Dealing with me he's always been honest.

Thats why I decided to go with them. Heard nothing but good things everywhere. It's why I'm so confused and don't know what to do.

Trying to get into contact with Konrad directly now.

Clearly someone passed me the wrong info, sorry buddy.

NaughtyNerdy · 04-05-2014, 01:20 AM

Still need advice.
Can't get a paypal refund at this stage, not sure what I should do.

k0nr4d · 04-05-2014, 01:22 AM

Just to clear something up as this has come up in the past - We do not run MechTemplates.com and are not affiliated with him in any way other then that he makes and sells templates that work with our scripts. It's a completely separate business, and has nothing to do with us.

MechTemplates guy is not a scammer, but he is not a designer or programmer either. He is a sales guy, he only bought/ordered few templates from a designer and sold them trough his site. You would better contact designers directly, there are a lot of them here on gfy - and some are really skilled.

On your place i wouldn't allow him to use that name,it is lovely example why trademark should be protected.I though too how that site is yours when i first saw it.

Yes obviously,plus he is an asshole-he got a invite to private forum,and his first post was spamming his services without bothering to post anything else,so he was banned.And he was offended by that ban,he just dont have a clue about some things.

Private forum?

Do you really need a private forum these days when there are no more than 30 people on gfy?

It's not a forum on gfy, it's a secret club.
