Last September, I was the victim of an extortionist. I was scared, and hired this company to help out. At first, i thought they would help, but the fact that they do not have any way to see the progress of payments, which makes me question if I had already paid the amount in full. The amounts I agreed to pay for the services was $3,000 for phase one, and $4,000 for phase two. After calculating it out WITH the out of this world interest rate, I do not need to make more payments than I already have. I have already spent basically 8,000 dollars and I have no way to determine if I even have any left. So if there is any way that I can track my payments so I’m not paying double, because I’m running out of money. I want this to end, or at the very least create something to track payments, but I’m having some very real doubts that the original payment terms (20 months for phase one, 18 for phase two), that the payment that are $247 and $324, respectively, can’t get you that money faster than that, even with interest. Another thing that raises a red flag that it is done on my card, which any other service does checks so it’s easier to track, and actually have tracking of payments. So either create a way for me to track the payments, or end them. Cause I’m getting to the point where I have to choose between paying rent or eating.Business Response

After dealing with a blackmailer I couldn’t believe I was still a victim. I did contact my bank who attempted a charge back the status is still pending. I had contacted the company on 3 seperate occasions and did not receive a call back.Business Response

We appreciate the opportunity to address this concern. Our
records show that the client retained our expedited services on 11/16/24. Our
team promptly began the investigation and delivered the work product as agreed
on 11/17/24. Additionally, the client opted to purchase supplementary services
on 11/18/24, indicating satisfaction with the initial service delivery.
Regarding the client’s claim of not receiving a password, we
provided this information as part of our deliverables. We are unable to verify
any subsequent difficulties accessing the document, as no further communication
was successfully established after 11/19/24. Efforts to contact the client have
been unsuccessful due to the phone number on file being disconnected. Client
provided a new phone number on this complaint however the client has not
answered our contact attempts or returned our calls.
We must also clarify that the service agreement includes a
signed contract outlining the terms of service, including payment obligations.
The client has not fulfilled the financing payments associated with the
services provided. We consider this chargeback attempt unwarranted, as the
agreed-upon services were completed before the specified deadline and delivered
in full compliance with the contract.
We take all feedback seriously and are committed to
addressing genuine concerns. If the client wishes to discuss this matter
further or seek a resolution, we encourage them to return our calls so that we
can assist them directly.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.Customer Answer

Email received by BBB Staff
In regards to the status of this case, I did contact the company because I had a chargeback declined and wanted to resolve this. I spoke to a gentleman who informed me the company would be unable to help me further. He also stated all contracts were nullified and closed. I asked him to check with manager and was again told they would not help me.
About a week later I received a text message requesting a call. I called and spoke with someone different, he wanted to know if I wanted to do phase two in the investigation. He stated my contracts were due for remittance. I brought up the investigation and the fact I never saw phase one results. The Second Gentleman gave the password needed but all I was unable to see the results. He said he would check with other staff and get back to me about proceeding, I never heard from him.Business Response

I paid them about a year ago, two days after my birthday, and now they are trying to ask for more than they wanted, even asking more than what their interest rate could possibly ask for by a few thousand. They are completely dishonest, and they are a scam trying to take advantage of people who don't know better and who are scared. They even sent a letter of proof or something like that and ended up writing the date I signed for them was a day before I actually ever called them. On top of all of this, they never actually finished their job and ended up not even dealing with the person responsible.Business Response

We are writing in response to your complaint and would like to address your concerns directly and transparently.
Firstly, we have attempted to contact you in regards to this complaint to no avail.
Our records indicate that you retained our services on 07/29/2023, at which time you made a down payment of $500 and agreed to finance the remaining balance over a 15-month payment plan. Both the signed agreement and the recorded voice authorization confirm your acknowledgment and acceptance of the terms, including the payment schedule and interest rate.
We provided the agreed-upon services within the promised timeframe, and there were no complaints or issues raised regarding the service for over a year following its completion. The claim that the work was unfinished or did not address the responsible party is inconsistent with our documented records, which outline the steps taken and services rendered in your case.
Regarding your concern about the contract date, the signed agreement serves as the binding document. If you believe there was an error, we would be happy to review this with you directly to clarify.
The recent communication from our team relates solely to your payment plan, which has been in default due to missed payments. As per the agreed terms, we have attempted multiple times to reach you to resolve this matter amicably. When those efforts were unsuccessful, your account was forwarded to our internal collections department.
We understand that financial situations can be stressful, and we are willing to work with you to address any outstanding concerns or resolve the payment plan balance. However, we must emphasize that this appears to be a dispute over payment obligations, not the quality or delivery of our services.
If you would like to discuss this matter further, please feel free to contact us back directly. We are committed to resolving this in a fair and transparent manner.Initial Complaint

Earlier this year around April 2024 I contacted digital forensics company under stress from the situation I was in, and they pressured me with priority on my case to spend more, and a little while later they completely stopped contacting me and only for me to find out that their services did not do as advertised to me. They contacted me again in November 2024 only to send me an email with inaccurate information and none of the links to view documents that were said to be in the email or in a separate email I never got. Ever since I first contacted them they used all kinds of tactics to get as much out of me as possible.Business Response

This happened in August 2024. They charged me $1,500 for their services. We agreed on a specific payment plan. I'm still getting emails from the extortionist and I've paid three months of the payment plan. One of their employees is secretly emailing me wanting payment via Razer Gold gift card and it just sounds fishy. It's not a legit financial transaction. I no longer want to pay this company.Business Response

This company is a scam and takes advantage of people while they are scared. I was being extorted and fell into the trap of paying these people to help me. I agreed to a contract because I was desperate. Every time I called for an update or to give new info I couldn't get one. I was always told they will call me back never got one. Got an email saying phase 1 was done hurry up and call to discuss. Tried calling twice got told both times the person wasn't available but they'll call me back. Never got a call back. I would not pay them to go to phase 2 anyways because it's all a scam.Business Response

We acknowledge your concerns regarding the service purchased on 09/05/2024. Upon review of our records, we would like to clarify the timeline of events to ensure transparency.
On 09/17/2024, we reached out to proceed with the next steps, but you informed us that you were unable to continue due to a hurricane and loss of internet service. Following this, on 10/04/2024, during another communication, you mentioned that you had misplaced your card, which delayed your ability to make the required payment.
On 10/09/2024, we received a chargeback request. At that point, the funds were no longer in our possession, and our records indicate that multiple attempts were made to assist you with the process prior to this.
We strive to provide the best service possible, and we regret that this situation did not meet your expectations. However, based on our records, we believe the situation has been accurately handled and respectfully disagree with your description of the events.
Should you have any further questions or wish to discuss this matter in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us.Customer Answer
