Hi, dear BassTrackerBoats. I have also encountered ignoring from Richman.
I decided not to create a separate thread on the forum but post it here and wait for a response.
The first correspondence occurred in private forums in September 2022, and he invited me to Skype. We discussed with him all the details about the feedback and agreed to cooperate. I asked him a question about removing reviews, as well as my concern about possible fraud attempts on his part, to which he replied:
"Dude, we're Jr. VIP on BHW. You think we can cheat?" Trusting the status, we agreed to a deal.
On September 26, we transferred 64 USD to his Wise account.
We sent him the text for reviews and links for Google listings.
On September 27, we got a message - we started today. The reviews seemed to be delivered by October 15, and nothing was suspicious. *I'll disclose right away - absolutely all reviews were subsequently removed.
On
October 28, we decided to place another order. On October 31, we paid another 64usd for the reviews.
By
November 8, the order was delivered, and we decided to make a new order for listings on other sites (Facebook, TP, BB).
After discussions, we came to a total of 60 reviews on different sites for 380usd.
We agreed to pay in 2 installments.
On November 11, I sent 195 dollars to pay for half of the reviews and all the necessary information (content + links).
November 14, I wrote to the seller to find out when they will start. The seller replied that they have already started but need to vr
On November 19, I received only 1 feedback out of 30.
Then the ignoring started.
On 3 of my messages, I received 1 response in a few days, about the request to give time.
On December 6, I wrote a message:
"I'm ok to cooperate. Just if you stop posting, at least let me know. Time is passing. It's been almost a month since you stopped for all companies, including Google and Trustpilot. I can wait, but don't ignore me. I also ask you to note that you asked me to give you one day, and after that, you disappeared for five days. I paid you immediately, and I don't keep you waiting. I would understand if you took money for the result. You're posting first, then money. If you leave, so I didn't pay. But then you insisted on the "rules" of your company - advance money. Well, what happened to it?"
to which I received a reply:
"We posted lots of reviews at yelp and MMR but no reviews are sticking
Can you please exchange the order with Trustpilot or Google? "
During the dialog, the seller once again asked for all the details for posting (it's been a month after payment, and all the information is in the correspondence)
I found all the details and sent them again.
By this point there were 6 posted reviews(3 for FB, and 3 for TP)
On December 14, I received a message saying that new content was needed. To which I replied that I had submitted a ton of content.
On December 21, I submit even more content for reviews.
Each time I hear, Bro, give me a week, and I'll finish it. And I go to the meeting. I don't post any complaints, I wait.
January 10,11,12 I write a messages(skype)
On January 16, I saw that nothing was happening and wrote another message.
On January 17, I got a reply: "All your order will be completed within 1 week".
January 26 I write again.
January 27, I get a reply:
"Will update you today".
January 29,30 I write again.
January 31 I get the answer:
"I only can complete your order"
"I'll do it tomorrow."
On February 2, I write again.
-no reply.
February 6, I write again.
February 7, I get a reply:
"We will complete your order without any delay".
On February 8, I start discussing what reviews to publish, how many reviews are ready, etc.
On February 13, because of the large number of reviews, my Google profile was blocked.
On March 3,4, I write to the seller again
On March 6, I got a reply:
"give me one google link i will do review till payment".
On March 19, I get reviews for TP from Chinese accounts and write to the seller about it.
In May I notice that no reviews have been published (all that would have been published have been deleted).
I ask to be compensated for this, to which I got the message:
"We guarantee only for 1 month, but i will replace 10 review".
On May 25, I sent new content.
On June 4, I sent more messages.
On June 5, I got a reply:
"Will see live review today."
July 7 I post again.
I get a reply.
"We changed all accounts so now we can fulfill your job, you can check tomorrow".
from
July 10, the seller stopped responding.
TOTAL: I paid 64 + 64 + 195 = $323, and only received 3 reviews on Facebook.
I want to either get my money back or get my reviews. But with reviews, there should be a deadline(only like this.) I don't even care about the sites. I wrote many times that he could choose any service and do reviews there for the total amount. As a result, I received nothing.
I'm tired of corresponding with the seller on Skype, so I'm writing this here.
