I absolutely HATE scammers.  I had been checking out this site for a while, as I’m always looking for new companies to feature.

I finally decided to make a purchase so I could tell you what was good with them. I mean, they were offering quite a bit of content, and I was especially interested in the Kontakt instruments.

The site looks official, the demos sounded decent, and they even give away a free grand piano….they had to be the real deal right?

WRONG!!!!

Well, it was too good to be true and immediately after I purchased, I got nothing. No download link, no instructions on how to access my downloads, nothing.

They said I would be able to immediately download my sounds….not so lucky.

I gave them the benefit of the doubt, since I deal with many companies that operate overseas, I know things happen sometimes.

So I spent the rest of the afternoon/evening trying to contact them.

No go.

I started to become suspicious, I had never been scammed before by a sound design company, but this didn’t smell right.

I came across this post on KVRaudio.com

Basically it’s a warning about this company and the scam they are running.

Not only are they scamming people, but they are providing sample libraries full of stolen content  as well as putting the same loops and sounds in various different “products” so you think you’re getting a bunch of stuff but you aren’t.

1.2gb of content is really more like 35-40mb of crap content duplicated over and over again in various folders and formats. That makes up the “sample collection”.

I usually do this type of research first, but I didn’t have any funny feelings about the company.

Like I said, it’s my job to find new and upcoming sound providers, so I’m always taking chances on new companies.

This definitely won’t stop me from checking out the new companies in the future, but I will be more careful and always do double research.

Spread this around to any and everyone you can, we don’t want anyone else losing money with these thieves.

I didn’t get any “login info” until after I contacted their payment processor 2checkout asking for a refund.  I still wanted a refund, I wanted nothing to do with them and the fact that they would promise 300 “new” patches when really it was like 30 patches in 10 different formats!

Good thing is I worked with 2checkout.com and was able to get my refund, bad news is not everyone knows you can do that. Many probably continue to try and contact the company or worse, just accept it as a loss.

Not me, I had to get the refund and also had to let you all know about it.

The get NO SUBS from me lol.

What do you think? Have you ever dealt with something like this before?
