Oh my god! I just read the review about elance.com and this guy, Rich Morgan at heavysystems.com.
See it at
https://mouthshut.com/review/El%3Cbr%20/%3Eance.com-129898-1.html
Lots of back and forth between the lady that wrote that review on Elance and the one she wrote here about Rich Morgan at HeavySystems. She writes about her experience with him and his company and about how he ripped her off and then he claims that shes nothing but a liar who got a professional website for free. He sounds very convincing unless one reads everything and sees that things just dont add up in his favor.
Rich Morgan even posted a link to his Elance profile/portfolio on mouthshut.com to prove to everybody that he has lots of satisfied customers. Heres the link to his Elance profile
https://elance.com/php/profile/main/eolproviderprofile.php?view person=heavysystems.html
This link doesnt always work. If you cut and past it to your browers-elance makes the link only go to their own home page. If that happens, just write "heavysystems" into the SEARCH window and its take you to his profile directly
Well, guess what? I went to his elance profile and saw for myself that he posts on his own profile a reference to the site he made for https://caregiversdirect.net. Theres a photo of the home page and everything.
He shows the caregiver.net and makes it look like there is a site search feature; theres a testimonial from a satisfied customer; a log-in area, etc.
He also claims that he has such a great feedback rating with Elance.
Yet he hasnt had a customer through Elance in 7 months! And he doesnt have a 100% positive feedback. Most of his clients just didnt leave any feedback at all, positive or negative. Maybe they just figured it was nicer to leave no feedback than to leave negative feedback. Also, youll see on Elance that only 17% of his customers are repeat customers! And even though he knows that Renee Moore at CaregiversDirect is not happy with his work on her website(by all of his rebuttal comments over the two reviews about him) he still keeps her great review of him that he convinced her to write almost a year ago and lists it as one of the 100% positive feedbacks he received. Amazing!
He writes that he finished the caregiversdirect.net website on June 5, 2007. She wrote him that great review on June 28, 2007. But the website that he shows that he did for her **is not the website that he uploaded to her hosting company.
The actual website at https://caregiversdirect.net is** NOT like what he shows on his own portfolio! But he expects us to believe that she later decided didnt want all those functions but that he could keep the$2500 anyway and she was happy with the incomplete website he developed!
*NO WONDER SHE BELIEVED HIM WHEN HE SHOWED HER THAT FAKE WEBSITE AND TOLD HER THAT HE "WAS ALMOST FINISHED-SEE LOOK WHAT IVE DONE, NOW GO AHEAD AND PAY ME IN FULL AND WRITE A REVIEW FOR ME WHILE YOURE AT IT"
(Then maybe Ill release the website to you)
*OMG! Rich Morgan is really manipulative!
He must have spent countless hours writing his comments on her reviews trying to make her look like nothing but a spoiled little brat who simply wasnt getting her way! She was telling the truth all along! Just like she said-he sent her a link to a fake shell of a website, probably the one he has posted on his Elance profile -to induce her to believe that he was doing all this work. Which is why she paid him the balance due and wrote up a great review for him so that hed upload it to her hosting company -because she believed him. Hell, I ALMOST believed him! Enough to at least wonder about the review enough to follow the links because it sounded just way too bizzare.
So I did follow his links and Im in shock! Totally unbelieveable. He must think nobodys going to check the links in his own rebuttal comments and that people wont do more research. He thinks his written argument is all it takes to cast enough doubt on her story and that nobody would believe her. He does write well, but what he writes makes no sense to anybody with half a brain.
*I now understand why shes is on this crusade to let people know the truth about Rich L Morgan (and his company heavysystems.com).
*Go to the links above. The guy is completely delusional! Hes like on some power-trip where he believes everybody reading these reviews is an idiot and cant think for themselves.
If you havent done so already, Renee, capture his Elance profile by saving it to your computer. Youll definately win any lawsuit against him. He commented so many times in rebuttal to your reviews that he only ended up making himself look like a fool. You werent the fool to have believed him after all is said and done. He completely took advantage of your ignorance of website programming and took you for a ride!
*The fake shell of your website on his Elance portfolio looks so real!
*DrNate was right.Rich Morgan at heavysystem.com is a jerk. Hes more than a jerk, hes evil and manipulative, plain and simple. And pretty dumb to have posted his profile link to Elance for everybody to check out.
