Surprisingly, marlboroack AKA Brandon Ackerman is a poster at GFY with >6600 posts to his name

I was looking to get some banners, landing pages and email templates done and found marlboroack/Brandon thru’ this forum and hit him up on Skype.

We agree a price of $350 for 5 banners, 2 x “responsive” landing pages and an email template

Rather than pay the whole project up front he agreed to do small project of just the banners for $50 so I could see the service he provided.

Here is a day-by-day list of my interactions over the last 6 weeks or so.....



All in all a very frustrating experience from someone who boasted “I also own more porn than anyone in USA” and “I'm running 2 studios with 20+ designers each” which if true is somewhat surprising that he would go three days without reading his emails.

I certainly blame myself for paying the full amount up front, not having a proper contract with built-in penalties for late delivery and paying via a method that was recoverable.

I would also add that up to maybe the last email and Skype messages I was nothing but polite and business-like in all my communications with him.

In return all I seem to get back was a lack of respect, a terrible service and virtually no response to my emails, Skype messages and phone calls. It seems that providing a good service wasn't at all important and the fact I missed my important deadlines made no difference to him as he had my money and knew that there was no way I could get it back.

So all in all a sorry tale and it looks like I have spent $350 and all I got in return was 5 banners and 1 completely useless landing page design not to mention 5-6 weeks of stress and the fact he made me missed my launch date.

I was amused to see a post on this forum [1144074] from him back in June in which he was complaining about being scammed out of $300 – quite ironic seeing as a few months later he would quite willing to do the same thing to me. Whilst I cannot "file a police report to take this mother fucker down" the least I can do is to post on the forum where he touts for business and let people know the way he treats his "customers"

Just saying.
