Alex Belfort has scammed us and few of us users on GFY, please read below to get additional information how he seems to proceed
On 09/28/2022 I posted on GFY looking for some Mainstream Email leads: https://gfy.com/mainstream-business-…ail-lists.html I have been working with a mainstream client that requested them.
Shortly after that thread, I was contacted by Alex Belfort from EvolvedAd Marketing. (Now: Guruseoservices.com )
We talked for many days about what I was looking and the process, deadline etc… for via Skype and Phone calls.
A deal was made for $1600 for those leads. 50% was due upon agreement and the remaining upon delivery. Which at the time was supposed to be a few weeks. $800 was paid via BTC and quickly there after, I was given the round around…and for weeks. With every excuse you can imagine. (Holidays, Staffing Issues, Travelling…)
Finally, Alex told me that company was (all the sudden) sold to his partner. A person named “Igor” and that I was to deal with Igor exclusively going forward. surprisingly enough, the same Gmail account is used for the communication with Igo: evolveadmarketing@gmail.com
Of course that Igor person gave me the same run around when I requested a refund. By then, my client had moved on… Igor kept BS’ing at every reply: “we need a new invoice” “we need a new memo” “we are having issues with “BTC” “bring it up to Mike, our accountant” (who also uses the same Gmail account: evolveadmarketing@gmail.com )
When I went back to Alex and asked for help, he literally told me to fuck off.
It’s now almost March 2023 and they went silent. No refund, no communication.
Just be careful, more and more scammers seem to be coming out of the woodwork lately.
I hope this prevents them from scamming more people.
I will update this thread, if by some miracle, they decide to finally reply and refund me.
Stay Safe out there
