scammed by Theous Corporation, THEOUS, SOPHEA, INFINOLOGY

I was scammed by this company on would like to pass this info on to all.

Scammed!!!!!
Theous Corporation, THEOUS, SOPHEA, INFINOLOGY ..GRANT WRITING, WEB DESIGN, LOGO DESIGN, RESUME WRITING, SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION, 3D ART SERVICES, WEB HOSTING Los Angeles California

Company
Infinology Corporation, Albert
Address:
3010 Wilshire Blvd. PO Box 450
Los Angeles California 90010
U.S.A.
Phone Number:
1-877-883-2248

Fax:

Three Names Same Company- THEOUS, SOPHEA, INFINOLOGY

I was wanting a Logo designed for my new start up. So I searched on google and came across the top 10 logo designers at themostpopularbrands.com/
reviews/logo_designers/index.htm?site=google&engine=adwords!2656&keyword= logo+design&match_type

This is were I was taken
theous.com/logo_designers/index.php

The site sounded and looked ok. I needed a logo quick and this company looked like they could help me at a reasonable rate. The site quality wasn't as good as many of the other companies I looked at, but I went against my better judgement because of their promotion. I couldn't believe I was getting $545.00 package for $165.00.

I paid my $165.00 for this package. After I paid I received their order e-mail confirmation, that didn't have a reference/ order # on it. It states the following “Infinology Corp. will appear on your credit card statement as they are the company which handles the credit card processing for Theous Corporation. If you have any questions with this order please call 863-223-2296.”

, shows my billing info. I didn't think much of it so I went about my business until I received a second e-mail from this company of many names. It stated Thank you for ordering our LogoDesign service. Please download the attached microsoft word document and answer the questions accordingly. We need you to answers these questions before we can start Designing your Logo. If you have any quesitons please email the question to: [email address].

The document was very basic and asked very general questions concerning my company. Again I thought nothing of this. Everything seems to be moving right along. A week goes by and I haven't heard a thing from them. So I call and they say that they have my file and should start on it soon. They stated that there was a lot of business coming in from their special promotion and I should be patient.

I wait a few more days and still no word from this company. I start getting suspicious and do a search on this company. OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH I should have gone with my gut feeling on this. I was scammed and I knew it. There isn't a lot out on the search but what is out there isn't good concerning this company.

I called the company again and the person I spoke with stated he could find any info on my order. He asked if I was sure I placed an order.

I'm ticked off now and do a search again and find a site called Rip Off Report.com on this site I find a fellow consumer “ Gurvir” that has been jacked around. I e-mailed him and he stated he was talking to a manager by the name of Albert. So I called the # he gave me and spoke with Albert. Albert told me he also couldn't find any record of my purchase. I told him my card was charged by his company. His reply was to have me e-mail him with a reason as to why I want a refund. I sent the e-mail and waited. Nothing. I contacted Gurvir again and he said he has got Theous to refund our money but he has to retract his posting on Rip off Report. I call Theous again and speak to Albert. Albert says he will not refund my money until this other customer retracts his statement. I didn't write the complaint nor do I know your other customer. PLEASE refund my money. Albert again states all I have to do is E-mail him a reason why I'm requesting a refund and they will give my money back. I send him 6 more e-mails stating why I want a refund. I have not received a refund or a phone nor an e-mail from this company.

BEWARE !!! Don't use their services you will be ripped off
ANYONE ALREADY RIPPED OFF BY THEM CONTACT ME
my email is [email address] I am collecting their order receipts to send it to FBI to file report and have investigation done on this company.

I fully agree that emailing a yahoo address is not the way to go.

I think that if a rep of TC is willing to give a phone number or otherwise address issues in a thread - where users can see the results, then those who are complaining will appreciate it.

Sarah, are you there? Are you reading this?

I will search further for some of the examples I'm speaking of.

PS - If this IS a scam, then an even better reason to leave the thread here so current and future users can see it.

Either Sarah Williams will prove to be of some assistance...or her post will be for naught - and be just one more bit of info to find on the net and consider/be warned about before doing business with them.

I am not judging the validity of either your or the members claims: I'm just pointing out a reality that I've seen time and time again on the site.

I fully agree with that. As I was first reading this I thought it a good idea on the part of the company. Then I saw the name and e-mail and the alarm bells went off.

I disagree with leaving it up however. If this is a scam, it may not be perpetrated by the company itself. So they could have a cause of action for leaving it without verifying it.

Or, as noted in the linked thread, the person who initiated that thread could be just a phony with nothing to do with Theous and just perpetrating a scam of their own.

This site does not and can not endorse or verify the claims of any member. That would be a full time job for dozens of people.

Even on the flip side, we can not and do not verify claims of scams, bad treatment, et al that consumers/customers/clients make either.

I see the company claims "Highest Rating" with the BBB yet the BBB rates them an F:
http://www.labbb.org/BBBWeb/Forms/Bu...nyID=100033937

If it were me I'd be complaining to the BBB. My guess is that the BBB will not appreciate their logo being used on Theos's site with a false claim like that.

At this point I would not be surprised to learn that many of the people they claim are clients are not clients at all. Depending on how much time you can or will put into this, I would contact some of them and ask them if they really are happy clients of Theous.

Note: I am not speaking on behalf of AskMeHelpDesk. I am only suggesting what I would do if it were me.

I like this.
From BBB own site via a search you get This
and from Theous site you get This.
I love the way the Theos site leads to an IP address of 8.3.8.198, but BBB leads directly to www.labbb.org. Labbb.org's IP is really 64.60.4.195 !!!

Nice and iffy.
I wonder if "Sarah" would care to explain this annomily ??

Comments on this post
RickJ agrees: Good eye! I should think this borders on criminal activity.
