Has anyone ever dealt with a company called High Profile Auto Detailing out of Fort Collins Colorado, and if so, did you have any problems with them?
I was hired by the owner Anthony to build them a website and finished the project for them in a day or two. They paid half the fee up front, with the other half due upon completion. I finished their website on my server within a day or two, but then I soon discovered that they would never respond to my emails. They had responded in the past, but now they wouldn't.
Part of the problem I had was that the login details they gave me for their server were wrong, so I could never upload their completed files to their server. I finally sent them some emails alerting them that if they failed to respond, then I would have no choice but to conclude that they were abandoning the project.
Well, they never did respond to any emails I ever sent. Three months elapse and I'm doing a search on Google and what do I find? Their website has content on it that is very similar to my design. When I look at the HTML source code, I find that not only is their code similar to mine, my url address is in several lines of code (meaning they are stealing my images and bandwidth). I also find that they still have my email address embedded in their email code, just as it was when they stole it.
I finally called Anthony up at work and demanded that he remove my copyrighted work and he does that same day. I also told him that I was confused on why he would never respond to my attempts to contact him earlier, but he offers no real explanation. I then extend my hand in an offer to resume the website work (which he really liked and even stole from me), but he doesn't give me an answer.
Guess what? Three months after the fact in which he abandoned his own project without so much as a phone call or email, he files a dispute with PayPal to try to get his money back. PayPal tells him to get lost, so I send him another bill for the amount due under our original contract that he broke, and a little extra for copyright theft and bandwidth theft of my copyrighted work.
Today he files another complaint, but I'm sure that it will go nowhere. What I find amazing is that this guy Anthony has no spine whatsoever. He will not pick up the phone to call and won't ever send or reply to emails. How does he expect to ever work through disputes if he won't communicate with those he has a problem with?
