Hello ladies and gentlemen,

Today I am writing a review about the development company Clayarc which can be found at the following website http://clayarc.com

Firstly and foremost - STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY.

I hired Clayarc after finding about them on freelancer.com. I spoke to their sales staff Jasbir who told me that they could complete my project within the timeframe that I wanted. They requested that I send 50% of the payment upfront and the remainder of the payment upon project delivery; which I agreed to.

On Dec 6, 2010 I sent Taranjit Singh $300 USD as the upfront payment for the project development. On December 9th Jasbir sent me a mock-up of the frontpage design. I asked him to do create an alternate design because i thought it look amateurish. On December 16th Jasbir sent two more designs which I thought was worse then the first one. I told him that if your his team can?t create a proper design then I will likely cancel the project.

On January 7th, 2011 I sent Jasbir the following e-mail:

?I spoke to you the other day about the website rebuild and how I've decided to cancel the project. The project has taken much to long and I have lost interested in doing it. I would like to receiving a refund for payment I had sent earlier last month.?

I later spoke to Jasbir over MSN and which point we agreed that I would be charged $50 USD for the front-page mock-ups and I would receive a refund of $250 USD.

And this is where the problems started.

Febuary 20th, 2011 - I email Jasbir ?I hired you guys in December for a project that had since been canceled. Initially I had made a payment of $300 USD for this project how-ever after canceling Jasbir told me that there would be a $50 dollar charge for the template design with the rest of the money to be refunded to me. I am still waiting on that $250 USD refund.?
March 28th, 2011 - I email Jasbir ?It's been a week since I sent you my paypal ID. Can you please send me the refund??

March 28th, 2011 - Jasbir e-mails me ?I am out of the town now. You will get your payment by Wednesday evening.?

April 4th, 2011 - I email Jasbir ?I still haven't received my payment. Can you please tell me when I can expect my refund??
April 9th, 2011 - I email Jasbir ?Can you please refund me my money - you said you would send it to me more then two weeks ago now.?
April 14th, 2011 - I e-mail Jasbir ?I am extremely frustrated and that I am still waiting for my paypal refund.?
May 26th, 2011 - I e-mail Jasbir ?I was speaking with you the other day on yahoo messenger about the paypal refund that I hadn't received. Could you please send the refund to the my paypal address.

June 2nd, 2011 - Jasbir e-mails me ?I have discussed with him and you will get refund by Monday. As its over 5 months, paypal is not allowing us to refund it so we will deduct $12 paypal fee which was paid while receiving money. We will send $238 to your paypal address.?
June 9th, 2011 - I e-mail Jasbir ?I still hadn't received my refund still so I ask what the hold-up was.?
June 17th, 2011 - I email Jasbir ?I still haven't received the payment. Can you please tell me whats going on??

June 20th, 2011 - Jasbir e-mails me ?I am checking what is the status of the payment.?

June 21st, 2011 - I e-mail Jasbir ?I will be waiting on your response. Hopefully I will receive the payment shortly.?
June 27th, 2011 - I e-mail Jasbir ?It's now been 7 days since you've been checking the status of the payment. Can you please update me and tell me whats going on??
July 6th, 2011 - I e-mail Jasbir ?I am still waiting on my paypal refund. Can you please get back to me and let me know whats going on? ?
July 11th, 2011 - I e-mail Jasbir ?I am still waiting for a response from my previous e-mails. When can I expect my paypal refund? It's been months since I first requested this refund.?
July 18th, 2011 - I e-mail Jasbir ?Can you please let me know what you plan on doing as I am starting to lose patience.?

I send two more e-mail on July 20th and the 24th. I also send copies of e-mails from my gmail account incase my hotmail e-mails aren?t going through. On top of that I copy and past my messages into the contact form located on their website. Still no response.

I opened a new project on Odesk and sent a message to Jasbir aswell as their senior developer. Still no response. I know they are around because I can see when they last logged in.

Long story short, this company (Clayarc) has stole $250 USD from me. They are aware that they owe me money yet they just continue to ignore me. I am expecting to receive me refund once they view this thread.

I will report back here once I receive my refund.
Thank you for reading.
