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.

1. I am not representing AskMeHelpDesk in any way.
2. I'm just a curious and nosy fella myself
3. I called Theous and asked for Sarah Williams
4. A guy hesitated just a moment past what I was comfortable with - then said "hold on please", then
5. A gal with a very heavy asian accent came on the line and said "May I help you?"
6. I hung up.

This is not an effort to discredit the company in any way - or to claim that this experience means anything at all. I am just sharing my experience with y'all

THEOUS IS A SCAM!

Contact The Internet Crimes Division of the FBI. THEOUS, INFINOLOGY, ALBERT PALOMO are being investigated.

Indeed, these are talented people at Theous; talented at deception and ripping people off.

They took my money, did not deliver the product, and never did refund my money as promised.

There address in Los Angeles is a false-front.

Also, keep an eye out for Trade-Pals. Albert Palomo is somehow affiliated with them too.

ANOTHER POSSIBLE SCAM SITE: BEWARE

Being investigated by the FBI? Where is this found?

You pretty much posted this same thing awhile back in this thread...is there new info to add?

I say this only to point out that we are certainly interested in sharing information and experiences, but don't want to be just a bulletin board to bash people or companies.

Has anyone complained to the California Attorney General about these folks? And I'm still eager to see if the BBB might take complaints of them more seriously if it were pointed out to them that Theos is falsly advertising their rating...so seemingly therefore misusing BBB's logo.

Did you post the correct link? It does not tell us that the company or owner is being investigated by the FBI.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not disagreeing with your claim: I do personally agree that it's a scam to say "best rated" with the BBB and be rated F...or take peoples money and not give them what they paid for...but an investigation by the FBI is another matter altogether.

I would say the answer should be in what they will do.

Our one poster said they paid money and never recieved anything, so I think the company rep should tell us the date the refund will be made to this customer. ( assuming all this is real)

And honestly even I have a company and a church email address, I don't use them on here but even the most basic company should have thier own email address. I most likley have 4 or 5 ( too many for me personally_

Thank you Father. Absolutely! Theous has not made good on their word that I would be refunded.

I would appreciate it if this guy Rick would stop down-playing all of this. Clearly, Theous.com, Infinology, and Sophea.com are a scam. It is all too obvious, especially to the many victims.

For me, it's not a matter of getting my money back anymore. I am confident in that I will not be getting my money back from Theous. However, my mission is to do whatever I can to help the U.S. Government bring them to their knees and shut them down.

Hey, I'm on your side, really!

Yes, taking money and not delivering is a scam, and
yes, falsifying a BBB rating is a scam.

I was only asking you to say where and how it can be verified that they are being investigated by the FBI.
