Scam artist theif webdesigner Dave Darby Twisted Bubs/My Web Pilot
The poster above was hired, paid almost $11, 000 to redesign our social networking website for shelter and rescue dogs. Money which came from my inheritance after my Dads passing. Which they knew. They continued to stall saying they had money issues and could not finish the site. After waiting a year (with six to eight week completion date as contracted) they kept our money, did not finish the site and posted slander such as this to further try and stop us from doing business. Our site features rescue dogs, Lifes Abundance pet food (which these people were distributors for as well) and Life Force products. Both VERY stable businesses. Not scams as Dave Darby states above. We hired them believing they were great people and actually thought we had become friends and they understood our mission. We were then contacted by other clients and told what they had done to them and thier business. That is when we realized what they were doing. There were criminal complaints filed in NJ and Florida against them. To no avail though. As explained to us by the authorities and our attorney, the scam goes as follows, similar to when you hire a contractor to do work on your home, they require a deposit, you pay them, they do minimal work, continue to ask for more money to cover thier costs, keep your money saying you wanted more and more work done and then walk away placing the blame on you. By law since they did the smallest amount of work, (putting up a shell with very pretty pictures) they cannot be charged with a criminal charge. It would be a civil case we were told. But since these awful people do not have anything, it would be more money and we would not get our money back since they do not own anything or have anything. We were told we had a very strong case and would get, not only our money back, but lost wages, money for emotional duress, etc. for their breech of contract and slander on this site. There are many others who they have done this to and gotten away with it. One being a single Mom with two children. As you can see by the sociopath ramblings above they are extrememely unprofessional and post personal and fabricated information about you after taking and living off your money. Bottom line, they were hired to do a job, did not and kept the entire amount of money paid. No site, nothing to show for almost $11, 000. If you would like more information please feel free to contact us. Now you have the entire story. When you google us or however you reached this site, you now have the entire story. Stop by our site that we put together with ning.com and enjoy being a part of our community of Doodles and Poos and helping find rescue dogs homes! www.doodlesandpoos.com

Fraud / Scam
Doodles and Poos (Cindy Meldrum) came to us to re-build her website for DoodlesandPoos.com as well as her facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/DesignerDogs and her shopping site at http://www.cafepress.com/doodlesandpoos. Her stated mission was to help rescue shelter dogs and find them great homes.
Instead she is using these sites as a front to promote her MLM businesses - pitching unsuspecting members/fans with "If you were given the offer to build the income you've always wanted..." and "a year from now it meant you could be making 2, 3, 4, or even 6 thousand dollars per month"
While designing Doodles and Poos, Cindy revealed to us that she made from $100-200 a month selling the Life's Abundance dog food and cat food she was pitching. How is it she can claim that others signed up through her Doodles and Poos account can make thousands a month while she herself barely makes hundreds? She can't unless she gets those people signed up and paying under her. It's one thing to sell products by an MLM company if you feel the products are great/competitive, it's another thing to promise others fortune and sign them up so you can gain from their work.
And it's a shame that she's using the stated mission of finding homes for sheltered and abandoned designer dogs to sell her MLM network to members.
Ms. Meldrum also sells Life Force vitamins and TruBoost energy drinks among others. Cindy works 2 office jobs and is trying to get others to fund her retirement through MLMs under the guise of helping pets.
Designer dog lovers beware.
