Typically I am on Craigslist looking for additional web work and I came across one of their listings for a $2,500 ecommerce web design pretending to be an agency outsourcing the work.
I worked with agencies in the past so I didn't bother thinking much about it and so I they specifically told me to go to a link and enter my information including information about one of my clients.
I was very hesitant at first and so I used an email that I have setup for a business partner of mine whom is one of my clients and veyr loyal to my agency.
He email me within 10 minutes saying that a company called Unix Commerce talk crap about my agency and recommended that they stop using me and start using them for web services.
What pisses me off more than anything is how cheap and low someone would have to go to try and steal leads and defame another agency simply because they can.
Advise to another including potential buyers is that any company, service and/or individual that does not put honesty first will ultimately fail.
DO NOT USE THESE GUYS.
Also I just received another email that says the following:
Good day.
To Freefork Web Agency:
This is Kirk of Unix Commerce web design. Not long ago, we tried to recruit you for several projects we had piling up. After a small response to our ad on craigslist, we got only a handful of designers and of those, we have chosen you because of the quality of your work. I have personally seen your work. Please add us to your skype. We are unixcommerce. This is our preferred method of communication. We are online around the clock. Just IM us and we can start sending work.
Thank you.
Email being used was [email protected] and I am certain they are going to redirect me to the same page and try to steal leads.
