Description

I had hired website design engine to build my website, customizer, order management, and video ads, but they turned out to be scammers. They never completed my project and kept lying to me. They built an initial website to deceive me that they were working on it. After that, they started selling me more services like purchasing dedicated hosting. Once I paid for that, they started blackmailing me to purchase TLS security, otherwise, they would not finish my project. So I was forced to purchase the TLS security plugin. They were supposed to complete my project within 6 weeks but after waiting for 6 months, I contacted another company. The manager of this company texted me and warned me that if I started working with someone else, they would not complete my project, and I would lose my money. I think they hacked my system or phone because they knew I was talking to someone else. Every month they changed my project manager, and I had to explain my project from scratch again. They were just wasting my time so that I couldn't dispute my transaction since you can't file a dispute after 6 months. It's been 15 months now, and they never completed my project nor refunded me. They never gave me ownership of the website or hosting which I paid for. Now they have stopped answering my emails, texts, or phone calls. They have lied about their office address. I think they are outside the USA, and they probably tell you fake names too. Here are the names of the scammers: Benjamin Price, Shawn Hill, Sean Martin, Rob Garner, Adam, Max Milton, and Darren Samuel. I am writing this review to save others from making the same mistake as me. Please stay away from these scammers.
