STAY AWAY FROM THE SCAMMERS AT LIQUIDBYDESIGN.COM - designers and buyers
 

http://www.liquidbydesign.com/ SCAMMERS AND WILL RIP YOU OFF.

I went to get a site developed with them, they said they could not only take on the original project but 2 others as well and meet the deadline. This was 60 DAYS AGO and the site which I listed as priority as STILL NOT ARRIVED. I only managed to get the other 2 designs because i managaed to get in cotnact with the designer she had outsourced the work to. Then I find out that this designer as fucking not been paid $4,000 from month before. He ONLY did my designs because he knew how important thwey where to me. HE STILL AS NOT BEEN PAID.

I did some research turns out they are hiring graphic people getting them to do the work on a salary basis and then NOT paying them. So not only are they FUCKING people like me but also fucking the graphic designers.

Traci (bibali) = who is the owner and posts here fucking went on holiday the week my designs was due and when i contacted her said there was nothing to do. SO she is going on holiday while paying NOBODY.

Come on TRACI lets hear it, lets hear what u have to say b4 i post this on every single adult BBS around.

come on TRACI lets see what u have to say then!

I was working for Liquid... And they owe me money... A lot... 6K is only part of it. I've been working for them for the last 4-5 months and I've done almost all of the work that is their portfolio.

I designed the winning "Private Gold" contest site... I didn't even know the price for this contest was 7K.. All they told me was that it was for a contest, that i would get paid to do the design and get a bonus if I won... I did the design, won the contest for them, they got all the glory, all the clients from that publicity on GFY and all i got was a lousy $400... Why? Because all this time they told me they never got paid... that they never received the prize...

Yes, I was stupid to believe them... But at this time, I was just a biginner in the adult freelance world...

So I kept working for them... building sites for their clients... Yes, they did pay me every now and then... but they forgot some paiements... i didn't yell... I was paitient... They told me they would pay me... They told me I had to finish this or that job to get the clients money so they could pay me... the money never came... only bits here and there...

But now my patience has come to an end... They owe me 6K and this is without counting the prize from the Private gold contest...

I know they owe other designers a lot of money... I guess i'm the one they owe the most... They have lied to me all the way... They took the money from the clients whom I did the sites for... and kept it for themselves...

What does that mean? Does it mean I can go see those client and ask them money for the site I did for them? Tell them that LiquidByDesign never paid me and now those sites are copyrighted to me?

I dont know... Does someone know what can be done?

I've done some free side work for Darren to finish some sites I had begun for him while being for Liquid... I know they are fucking with him too... telling him his site will be done soon... But I'm not working for them anymore... I wonder which designer is getting fucked right now...

Designers out there... be careful... I've been fucked real good... I still hope to see this money... but my hopes are far behind...

It's a shame to put so much energy and trust in something, in someone... and to be left on the side like a roadkill... I was truthfull to them and they lied to me... They must have had a lot of fun those last month making money on my back like that... ho fuck yeah...

ur a good man, and as promised i will chuck work ur way.

She told me that PRIVATE GOLD didnt pay her, so i asked provate gold, she got the 7.5k and must have gone on holiday with it.

Did you sign any contract/agreement with them? Depending what it say. You probably have the legal rights on the designs

Why do designers do contract work for other people ? Why not setup your own shop ?

You shouldn't have much trouble getting work, especially if you designed the winning site for Private Gold.

And for $400 ? You better triple those prices.

batdelfuego, you got mail :thumbsup

No man... I did not... shame on me for having trust in people... i got fucked... but learned a lot...

SHE told him PRIVATEGOLD didnt pay her the 7.5k so there was no money for him

batdelfuego
is one HELL of a designer as well.

When you sart in the industry, you dont know sht... you dont know people and you dont know if you are goign to make it... So the first offer that comes by, well... you grab it...

Hey Batdelfuego that private gold winning design was awesome. :)

Good luck getting paid, that really sucks. bad.... and I recall bibabi or whatever her name is bragging about how she was going to win that contest, and she didnt even do the work.

What a shame. Why are some people such fucking losers? It baffles me. But good luck to all of you getting your money and or designs.

I went with liquiddesign based on the PrivateGold design

For what it's worth, I have been telling Traci and others that that private design is one of the sweetest I've seen. It is still better than any other design in the icecold portfolio:thumbsup

thanx Cher... ;)

I guess that i wont never see that money... i've already been waiting for it for too long... and they even simulated some wiretranfer in my account so I could finish some work for them...

I just dont want no other designer to get stuck in the same basket like me...

Well then you own everything you ever created for them, and they did not pay you for. They basicly stole it. Contact the site owners and tell them that they baught stolen designs. Witch they did cos you own the rights for them as you where never compensated for you're work. It's just like someone wants to buy you're car takes the car and you never get payment, you never signed a sales paper for it so the car is still registered to you. They stole it, and would be taken by the police this is just about the same.

Why not drop by Traci's board and leave her a 'message'?

jesus h. christ. what the fuck is going on here people?

shame on you.

in business you live or die on the basis of your reputation.

PERIOD.

the business tactics being revealed here in the last little while are just absolutely appalling.

didn't your parents teach you all right from wrong?

a contract is a contract is a contract whether its between one's employees or one's customers.

i'm gonna post more on this later because it's such a piss off but in the meantime, if there's an url to this winning gold design that's being talked about - post it because I'd like to see it.

Tried... tried... shes never online...

batdelfuego your designs are really impressive! especially the private gold one, thats for sure!
should be no problem to start your own business with your skills!

where is that BOARD?

Sad to hear there is so damn much corruption in the design biz.

Youd think it wouldnt be that complicated. Lets say its a job that costs 1,000. Just give like 700 to the designer, and the broker keeps 300 for finders fee, customer service, etc.

But these brokers seem to want too much of the pie and get caught with their hand in the cookie jar :2 cents:

batdelfuego make your own designs site, or come work for me for 90% share :thumbsup.

Man, what's up with design-companies.. like in the past week there's been a lot of drama! I hope I never get into shit like that..
I've been accusing people, sure.. but I hope I will never be the one accused of anything.. not good for business I think. Maybe all publicity isn't good publicity. :(

be my guest...

Whoops, didn't notice you had your site up and going. :)
I still offer 90% share if ya want me to get you deals. :)

Gotta make the best of every situation. :glugglug

how sad.

ya know what? there are way too many 'brokers' in this biz, people who produce nothing and don't have any money to their name so they are hiring people to do work knowing if a client doesn't pay or is slow to pay they can't pay their contract workers.

that is just low.

i can see a designer taking a full time job with a design company because well it's a steady job and if the pay is ok or good. But this contract stuff looks really bad for both the people doing the work and for the clients. I go to Liquid by Design and I am impressed with the Private Gold design so i decide to hire them, they don't tell me that I am not going to get that guy's work, they go out and find some other person who may produce crap.

dude, you were paid $400 for the whole job? YIKES!!!

go set up shop for yourself and charge minimum $1500 per site, once your name gets out there more, bump it to $2,000.

if bibabi is on vacation blowing the money, good luck getting a response from her.

You might want to contact the people who paid out the winnings for the private gold site. No doubt they will not be pleased to hear that the designer did not get paid.

Geesh maybe someone needs to start a coalition of honest designers or something. It would probably help business all around. fucking scammers need to eat shit and die.

batdelfuego, do you have ICQ ? I'd love to order some work from you and I have a good idea that a LOT of other people wouldn't hesitate to keep you busy either.

Darren - umm - penis-health.com is down :(
*****************.com

if it were me i probably would have killed her, but i tend to be more violent than the average man...

"Deisgner Coalition"?

hehe um proof reading is a good thing :winkwink:

she is back now.

Hehe man...
just add me to your ICQ list...
my number is #8830035

penis-health is hosted on likewhoa, go figure. I posted on her board.

Bat is an excellent designer the 2 sites he did for me are truely excellent.

Hehhehe :)

I guess pointing out simple typos is a good thing too, huh? :winkwink:

Hey batdelfuego,

I found one of my sites in your portfolio (pornturbo). I had
prepaid the job via Paypal to Traci. Sucks if you didn´t get
money for it. The site works great and I love your work.

I will make sure to drive good business to you in the future.

batdelfuego, great work in your portfolio. Its unfortunate that happened to you.

well in theory he could ask u to take the site down.
