    I hired Mr. Duane W***, via telephone & online to create 2 websites, host the website, & create a logo. He said it would take 1 week. He charged me $450.00 not including the logo ($15) & hosting fees ($30). It was agreed upon by both of us, that I would make a down payment of half the amount, of $225.00 and pay the rest upon completion of the websites - noted on his invoice. Over a month later, the sites weren't completed.

    He tried to get the rest of the down payment for a personal family trip. I refused, as I stated the site wasn't done. After this, Mr. W*** stopped responding to me. I asked for his help, an he told me to add more content to the site. He didn't respond. He became angry at the changes and called me yelling, screaming, and cursing. He demanded the remaining balance. I told him the sites weren't completed, and I never even seen the alleged 2nd website (*******************************, not created as of yet to my knowledge. He then pulled the 1 site that was up (******************** ********), also not finished, and prevented me from having access. I asked him to release it. He refused. He kept all my monies and left me with nothing. During this time, I found out his business license was inactive -2019, & my online magazine was not able to publish any works.

    I repeatedly contacted him & asked him to keep the money, but to release the website. He kept the site inactive. I had to pay almost another $200 to WordPress, to get my site back and to get it actively online. I kept contacting Mr. W*** and his significant other, Shelly R******* - known for 15 yrs, to return my money. I had to threaten him with court. He finally agreed to return my monies but didn't want to return the full & correct amounts. I notified him on July 8, he had until July 29th. His live-in partner Shelly R******* hinted he would receive his SSI check the beginning of the month (1st/3rd), I extended it to August 3, 2022. He still has not paid me, he is not responding to email
