How I lost Money on Scammers?
I paid these fellows 2000USD for them to build my site ranking on SEO. I asked them to show me where I can see the prepared links with my keywords in them. This way, I would tell if they were really genuine. I received my first report from them. A report that was not satisfactory. The links were incomplete! I tried calling Mark Kreischer (who also uses the name Chris Barnes). After patiently waiting, I got an email from the guy saying that the results can be seen only after 8months. I felt this was a phony and decided to inform many about this fraudulent act. Never agree to pay any money before you see the result. Never consider these people genuine.

First off, my name is Chris Barnes, the person that Mr. Gil called, Mark Kreischer, is a completely different person who is a co-owner in the company.
Mr. Gil hired us to target 30 keywords for him and was probably the most difficult client we have ever taken.
Within 2 weeks of using our service, despite the fact that his keywords had already started moving up in rankings he demanded to know exactly where all of his links had been built and wanted to know "what he paid for". At this point it is important to mention that before he ever paid us he was made aware that we do not send link reports as this is explicity mentioned in the proposal, the only reports we send are ranking reports.
Due to his overbearing and threatening demeanor we decided to send Mr. Gil a fractional link report to show him examples of where his links were located just to calm the situation and I am not sure if Mr. Gil is just ignorant or likes to argue but this still did not satisfy him, he didn't seem to understand that after only 2 weeks he did not have all his links built as we do this over a month to month period, not all at once. At this point he mentioned that he was "raised in Columbia" and would "go to war" with us if we did not give him a complete report immediately, I tried to explain that the month wasn't over and that his link building was not complete yet, he did not seem to understand.
Just to set a few things straight:
1. I never stated that it would be 7-8 months before he saw good rankings, being a results based company with no contracts the only incentive clients have for keeping us as their SEO company are the rankings we achieve for their sites. He was quoted 60-90 days to start seeing good movement for his keywords.
2. Mr. Gil canceled the service before the first month was even complete and did not give us a chance to show him a fraction of the results we would have gotten for his keywords. -
