Kreative KREATIVE Review: Misleading Sales Pitch, No Results, and Debt - Beware!

I gotta say, my experience with KREATIVE was a real letdown. I was promised the world, but ended up with nothing to show for it. I stuck with them for a full two years, but never made a single sale. It was a real bummer, especially since I had to shell out a lot of dough for their services.

To make matters worse, when I decided to cut ties with KREATIVE, they kept my website up and running as part of their portfolio. I mean, come on! That's just not cool. And to top it off, I'm pretty sure they showed me a fake site when I signed up. Not cool, KREATIVE. Not cool.

I was also really hesitant to buy their platinum package, but they promised me the moon and the stars. They said they'd reduce the price and make me one of their success stories. They even said they'd interview me before and after. But guess what? None of that ever happened. I feel like a real sucker for falling for their sales pitch.

I know I should take responsibility for my own decisions, but I really feel like KREATIVE misled me. They convinced me to take out a home equity loan, promising that I'd make all the money back within six months. Well, that never happened. Now I'm stuck with a ton of debt and nothing to show for it. As a retiree, I had to go back to work just to make ends meet. It's a real shame.

So, if you're thinking about working with KREATIVE, do your research. Don't take out any loans, and be really wary of their sales pitch. And just so you know, you'll be doing all the work yourself, other than setting up the website. Oh, and one more thing: the platform is a real headache. Trust me on that one.

Kreative Beware of KREATIVE: My Experience with Their Website Services

My experience with KREATIVE (kreative.com) was not a good one. I was promised a legitimate website, but unfortunately, that was not the case. They offered me two options for website quality, one in the thousands and the other in the two thousands. I chose the latter, thinking it would be the best quality. However, things took a turn for the worse when they asked me to open a credit card with $5,000. Unfortunately, I was unable to do so as I had recently lost my job. They then asked for $2,000, which I had in my account. They did not provide any information on where the money would go, and when I asked about it later, they simply said it went into something that would create a flow. I could have done that myself.

Things got even worse when they called me later and asked me to pay for six appointments that would cost $39 each. I explained that I would have no more money after that, but they replied with a careless "we don't care." In the end, I lost around $4,350 with their assistance. It seems that they are great at stealing money out of people's pockets, and I guess they were taught to do that. I strongly advise anyone to proceed with caution and not to have anything to do with kreative.com. They are thieves who will take advantage of you.

Kreative Disappointing Experience with KREATIVE: Poor Marketing and Lack of Control Over Website

I had a pretty disappointing experience with KREATIVE. I was trying to sell camping gear and equipment online for over a year and two months, but I didn't make a single sale. I thought I had a great website and products, but it turns out that KREATIVE has complete control over the site and I couldn't access the code. Any changes I wanted to make had to be done through a request form, which was frustrating.

On top of that, I was paying $139.99 a month for them to maintain my site, which was a lot of money for me. I felt like I had a brand new car that no one was seeing because it was parked in the garage. KREATIVE's marketing strategy was poor and they didn't help me at all. They just told me to go through more of their training programs and blamed me for not selling anything.

I was really disappointed because I thought I was going to make some money selling products online. KREATIVE promised me that I would if I followed their instructions, but it didn't work out that way. They blamed me for not being in the top 10 listings on Google Search, but I didn't want to keep throwing money at something that wasn't working.

In the end, I quit and took a loss of $***. 86 credit card debt. It was a tough lesson to learn, but I hope that others can learn from my experience and avoid KREATIVE.

Kreative KREATIVE Review: A Costly Mistake - Don't Fall for Their Promises of Easy Money

I was looking for ways to make some extra cash online since I was out of a job. That's when I stumbled upon KREATIVE's website. They promised to help me make money and all I had to do was pay $37 to start the program. I was excited to learn more about it, so I signed up.

The first person I spoke to was Brandon. He convinced me to spend $4500 on my business, which included training a few times a week for up to 30 minutes on calls. He promised that my site would be up and running in 45 to 60 days and that I would soon be making money. However, he failed to mention that I would need tax help or marketing, which ended up costing me thousands of dollars that I didn't have.

Brandon also told me that if I needed help with my credit card payments, he would be there to assist me. I reached out to him a few times, but he never responded. Now, I'm out of $9500 and they want me to pay even more for additional work. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or money to invest in this anymore since I'm back to work and school.

I regret ever signing up for KREATIVE because it has put me in a worse financial situation. My site has been live for almost a month, but I haven't made any money yet. It's frustrating that they only give you three days to cancel and get your money back. After reading other reviews, I realized that I'm not the only one who has had a bad experience with KREATIVE.

If you're considering working from home and come across ads like this, be careful. It's easy to get caught up in the promises of making money, but it's important to do your research and make sure it's a legitimate opportunity. Don't make the same mistake I did and end up losing thousands of dollars.

Kreative Warning: Kreative is a Scam Company - Don't Fall for Their Tricks

This company, Kreative, is all about taking your money and running. They will do whatever it takes to get as much money out of you as possible, and once they have it, they will stop communicating with you altogether. It's a terrible feeling to be scammed, and I don't want anyone else to go through what I did. If you're considering signing up with Kreative, please talk to me first. I'll tell you everything you need to know.

I have to admit, I'm pretty angry about the whole situation. But I'm not writing this review just to vent my frustration. I want to warn others about the dangers of doing business with Kreative. I take some responsibility for what happened to me - there were definitely some red flags that I ignored. But I kept hoping that things would turn around and work out for me. Unfortunately, that never happened.

Before Kreative, this company went by a different name. I can't remember what it was, but my granddaughter found some information online that suggested they were under investigation. When I asked my contact person about it, he denied it completely. But I knew he was lying - the evidence was right there on the computer. Still, I had already invested over $6,000 in the company, and I needed to make some money to pay off my credit cards. So I stuck with them.

But in the end, Kreative did nothing for me. I had to sever our relationship because they were just taking my money and not delivering on their promises. If you're thinking about doing business with Kreative, please ask them if they'll cover the note instead of using credit cards. Their answer will tell you everything you need to know. And if you do decide to work with them, be careful. They will try to take advantage of you at every turn.

Kreative Beware of Kreative: Our Experience with a Scam Website Company

March 2020 was a tough time for my family as my husband lost his job due to the Corona virus pandemic. We were struggling to make ends meet and were desperately looking for ways to earn some extra income. That's when Kreative approached us with an offer to set up our own website. At first, we were hesitant, but Tyler Hill, the smooth-talking representative of Kreative, convinced us that they would be with us every step of the way. We were promised that we would be able to set up our own website with ease, thanks to their training videos and support.

We were told that we had to sign a contract, even though the business was supposed to be my husband's only. I signed the contract, thinking that Kreative was a reputable company. Little did I know that this would turn out to be the biggest mistake of our lives. We later found out that Kreative had a terrible reputation, with many negative reviews on sites like BBB. But by then, it was too late.

Kreative used high-pressure tactics to convince us to sign up for their promotional deal, which they claimed would not be available later. We paid $14,500 plus $119.99 for 2 years, and then an additional $2000 for training. They also recommended a distributor, DOBA, and we had to pay them $3800 for the use of their merchandise. All in all, we ended up spending $23,179.76.

At first, Tyler was very responsive and available. But as time went on, it became harder and harder to get in touch with him. Kreative would send us emails every day, asking us to sign off on their work. We didn't know what we were signing off on, but we did it anyway. In October, we received an email saying that we had signed off on their work, and we thought that our website would be up and running soon. But that was not the case.

It's now March 2021, and we still don't have an operational website. When I try to pull up our "exclusive website," I get a message saying that it is parked free courtesy of GoDaddy.com. We have tried to contact Kreative, but no one answers the phone or calls us back. We feel cheated and scammed, and we are out almost $23,000 with nothing to show for it.

I hope that others will read this review and not fall for Kreative's scam like we did. They are not a reputable company, and their promises are empty. Don't make the same mistake we did.

Kreative KREATIVE Review: Promises of Profitable Online Business for 4K? Think Again

So, I heard about KREATIVE and their promises of building a profitable online business for just 4K dollars. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it is. Let me tell you the real deal.

First of all, they don't mention the additional investment you need to make in order to be the first business when googled. That's an extra 17K minimum, and they intentionally leave it out when they're selling you on their product.

Then, you have to deal with their design team, who takes forever to build your website. And even when they finally deliver it, it's not what you expected. You have to constantly fight with them to make changes, and they don't honor their initial obligations.

But that's not all. After all the time, effort, and money you've invested, they hit you with a call from marketing, asking for $16-2X thousand more dollars. And if you refuse, they bully you, saying that every successful business pays thousands in marketing.

At this point, you might want to cut your losses and walk away. But they charge you a contractual $40 a month for 2 additional years for doing nothing!

In short, KREATIVE is a nightmare. They promise a lot and deliver nothing. They will milk you for every penny and pour salt on the wound by charging you for doing nothing. Stay away from them and save yourself the trouble.

Kreative Kreative: A Massive Predatory Entity Robbing Ordinary People - A Review

These guys, Kreative, have so many websites that correspond to hacking, malware, and fraud issues. Tons of convincing and related businesses whose sites were created days apart. There is no info, everything is routed through warhead servers, and the scam artist Gary Walker who registered the sites was sued for millions in WA state in 2008 for offenses and con jobs along the same lines of many I've read. They are very in-depth and have every angle covered to rob you, a billion shell companies they refer victims to handle accountability, and somehow maintain a B+ BBB rating despite claim after claim after claim of various ruthless scams.

There is nothing this business doesn't do apparently, except exist. Look for any info on any of the million sites they've registered under Kreative and Gilbert Walker for years and years back from WA to Scottsdale, AZ where GoDaddy thieves all have some imaginary physical presence, to South Africa. They have imaginary online stores covering every conceivable variety of product, extremely convincing, and occasionally even fake referential postings to give some legitimacy or backgrounds and fake locations with fake phone numbers that match fake locations (but not where the owner registers the business) on other sites, and none will have any actual contact info or history.

They collect IPs and information like names, e-mail, and credit cards and have no reviews often times. This on top of every conceivable fraud game, short and long con with a network of fake people and shells and deflective LLCs. But they always leave some traces. The BBB is an absolute joke now, look at their responses defending this ambiguous "business" as though they are just another one of these Kreative controlled entities amidst the massive labyrinth.

Gilbert Walker, WA state, 2008, this is a good place to start, then look at their domains and. Warhead and connections to GoDaddy and so on. Luckily enough digging leads to actual locations where the cons and co-conspirators are or own and other personal info they go to great lengths to hide but steal from you.

I am not sure that any issues you have with Kreative can be resolved via electronic communications or standard bureaucratic means and hoop jumping. Here are a ton of sites registered by Gilbert Walker and Kreative, but some only by Kreative. The link provides a better grasp on how prolific and diligent they are in their multifarious fraud and con jobs and impressive endless range of purposes and specialties, fake cancer consultants robbing the dying and widow/ers, fake dentists, fake pet, knife, camping, kitchen, home decor, and all things tactical. IPs correspond to a lot of predatory hacking and darkweb/TOR parasite activities.

I have looked deeper than most will be able, but anybody is able to see a blatant, egregious, massive predatory entity robbing ordinary people who can't afford it, without any consequence or exposure (despite a billion victims' complaints and red flags for a long time).

Kreative Warning: KREATIVE is a Total Scam - Stay Far Away from These Guys!

I gotta say, KREATIVE is a total scam. I mean, I wouldn't even give them one star if I could. These guys are the real deal when it comes to ripping people off. They got me good, and I'm not the only one. They prey on people who are down on their luck, like me. I lost my job because of Covid, and I was just trying to find a way to make some money online. That's when I stumbled upon KREATIVE. They seemed legit at first, but then they started asking me about my goals and dreams. I should have known something was up right then and there.

They used my dreams against me, emotionally and financially manipulating me. They told me I needed to make a different website with them before I could trademark my family saying. I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. They kept asking me for more and more money, always saying it was necessary for my success. They even got me to invest with another company, Digital Guidance, who also scammed me out of a ton of money. I don't even want to say how much they took from me. It's too embarrassing.

The worst part is that I talked my daughter into investing with me, and now she's just as screwed as I am. We're both struggling financially and emotionally. We have no savings, and we're constantly stressed out. It's been almost three years of this nightmare, and it feels like it will never end. They even tried to get $100 a month from us, and when we refused, they took down the website they made for us. We never made a dime off of it in the first place!

I'm writing this review to warn others not to fall for this scam. KREATIVE will ruin your life. They'll take your money and leave you with nothing. Don't make the same mistake I did. Stay far away from these guys.

Kreative KREATIVE Review: A Complete Fraud - Stay Away from Them!

I recently had an experience with KREATIVE and let me tell you, it was not a good one. I was looking to get into the dropshipping business and stumbled upon KREATIVE through an ad or click-bait on a website. After a series of transfers, emails, and filling out online forms, I was directed to KREATIVE. I paid $30-$40 for more information and ended up getting scammed. They took my money without any problem. The first person I spoke to sounded like he lived in his mom's basement and made me feel uneasy. He kept asking if I was ready to make some real money in a sleazy way. He was supposed to be an initial screening to gauge my level of seriousness.

After passing the test, I was granted an audience with the "big money millionaire" who supposedly made millions in the dropshipping business. He had me commit on the spot to a significant initial investment. He claimed they would match me to show their commitment, but I had no way of knowing if they actually did. I was then assigned a "coach" who was decent at first but became ultra hard to get in touch with. None of what we talked about ever came to fruition, and the timeline he put me on was not upheld. Eventually, I stopped hearing from him entirely.

I was then assigned to another "coach" who was better than the first. We made good progress, but I still never launched a dropshipping website or had a healthy list of suppliers. The first guy was fired because "he wasn't the right fit for the company," which did not raise my confidence. I stopped hearing from the second guy altogether and decided to get in touch with their customer retention department to get out of this mess.

I climbed the ladder until I got to the top and demanded to be let go with no strings attached. The guy on the phone was disappointed and told me "this is not the way we usually do business." He tried to retain me by waiving website maintenance fees and promises of trying again later with the same initial investment as long as I stayed on with them. I was done dealing with them and cut my losses.

To anyone reading this, stay away from KREATIVE. The overwhelmingly negative reviews on this site show that I am not alone in my experience. They charged me $40/month for maintenance on a website that was never operational. I got off easy compared to some here, and I really feel sorry for them. KREATIVE is a complete fraud, and they deserve to be brought down sooner rather than later.

Kreative KREATIVE Review: Clueless Sales, Outdated Software, and Poor Customer Support

I gotta say, I had a pretty rough experience with KREATIVE. The sales folks seemed clueless about what their software could actually do, and they didn't seem to care much about helping me out once I was a customer. I spent a whole year waiting for their "engineers" to figure out how to handle Canadian currency, even though they told me it would be a piece of cake since they had worked with lots of Canadian e-commerce sites before.

And don't even get me started on the actual software itself. It's like they're stuck in the 90s or something. If you want to make even the tiniest change to your website, you have to launch this clunky HTML editor and mess around with code for hours. It's a total nightmare.

Sure, they offer some basic help, but beyond that, you're pretty much on your own. Honestly, if you're going to go through all that trouble, you might as well just build your own website from scratch and save yourself the money and time.

All in all, I wouldn't recommend KREATIVE to anyone. There are plenty of other options out there that are way more user-friendly and actually care about their customers.

Kreative Disappointing Experience with KREATIVE: Long Wait and Poor Customer Service

So, I came across KREATIVE's website and I was impressed with their clothing collection. I decided to place an order on May 31st, but unfortunately, I didn't receive my items until August. It was a long wait, but I was patient. However, things took a turn for the worse when I realized that I had to file a claim with PayPal to get my items.

I tried to contact KREATIVE several times via email, but they never responded. I even tried to leave comments on their Instagram page, but my comments were deleted. I was disappointed and frustrated. I started to think that they were scammers.

Finally, after filing a claim with PayPal, KREATIVE sent my items. However, they only sent one out of the two items that I had ordered. I was not happy about this, and I had to deal with PayPal again to get a partial refund.

Overall, my experience with KREATIVE was not good. I wouldn't recommend ordering from them. They have nice clothing and potential, but their customer service is terrible. If you do decide to order from them, be prepared for a long wait and potential issues with your order.

Kreative KREATIVE: Money-Hungry Jerks! A Review of Their Unfair Billing Practices

I'm having a bit of a problem with KREATIVE. I'm trying to dispute some charges on my credit card, but it's not going so well. I cancelled my account, but they're telling me that I still have to pay for 24 months of website help. That's a lot of money - over $2500! And that's not even counting the $3750 they took right away from my credit card.

The first thing they wanted to do was get access to my credit score. Then they told me which credit card to use to pay. Of course, they wanted me to use the one with the biggest credit limit. Who can tell if they're going to like something in just 3 days? And they even counted the weekend when they were calculating those 3 days, which doesn't seem right to me.

They keep trying to convince me to stay, but I'm just not interested. All they seem to care about is getting their hands on my money. And they're using that agreement to stick it to me! They're just a bunch of money-hungry jerks!

Kreative Beware of Scammers: My Experience with CMS *******248 and Other Companies

So, I was looking for a way to post links online and I called up CMS ***248. But then, I got contacted by a bunch of other companies who were trying to sell me their services. First, there was Interractive Business Solutions who wanted to set up an e-commerce business for me for $8,900.00. Then, there was Progressive Business Services who wanted to charge me $3,995.00 and $2,995.00 respectively. And finally, I got contacted by Kreative Llc who were offering coaching services for a whopping $14,000.00!

I decided to cancel after the last two solicitations, which was about 30 days later. But, here's the kicker - I never got any website or coaching from any of these companies. And now, they're refusing to refund my money, saying that their programs don't fall under the initial 60-day money-back guarantee. Can you believe it?

I'm not going to take this lying down, though. I've already started disputing these charges with my bank. And, I'm urging everyone who's been a victim of any of these companies to file a complaint with the FTC and the ic3.gov. We need to put a stop to this financial victimization once and for all.

In conclusion, I would advise you to stay away from these companies and their shady practices. Instead, you should check out Kreative (kreative.com). They're a legit company that offers a wide range of services, including web design, branding, and marketing. I've heard great things about them from my friends and colleagues, and I'm planning to give them a try myself. So, don't be fooled by the scammers out there - go with Kreative and you won't regret it!

Kreative Stay Away from KREATIVE: A Scam Company That Takes Advantage of People

They always say "I'm here to help you!" but it seems like they're not really there to help at all. I had a bad experience with KREATIVE and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. They're a scam and they just take your money without actually doing the job they were hired to do. They claim they can do X, Y, & Z but when it comes down to it, they're just a low-class company that can't get the work done.

I had to make an appointment to get help or ask a question, but it took 24-72 hours just to get an appointment. Imagine having a question about a product you purchased and having to wait three days for an answer. It's ridiculous! I left messages but never got a return call to make an appointment. Now it's been five days and I still haven't heard back from them.

This company won't be in business for very long if people figure out to stay away from them. They lie to get your money and then don't deliver on their promises. It's a shame because they could have been a great company if they actually did what they said they could do. But unfortunately, they're just another scam company that takes advantage of people.

Please tell as many people as you can to stay away from KREATIVE. They're not worth your time or money. There are plenty of other companies out there that actually care about their customers and will do a great job for you. Don't waste your time with KREATIVE.

Kreative Avoid KREATIVE (kreative.com) at all costs: A Scam Company Stealing Your Money

from KREATIVE (kreative.com) at all costs.

I had a conversation with a representative from KREATIVE, who spoke very quickly and convinced me to do business with them. Unfortunately, I regret my decision and would give them zero stars if I could. I ended up wasting an entire year and almost $20,000 trying to get my web business off the ground. Despite having my website up for over three months, I didn't make a single sale. When I complained to the company, they told me that my niche wasn't helpful, even though my first consultant had forced me to accept it. They claimed that he had been doing this for 15 years and I knew nothing.

In my opinion, KREATIVE is a total scam company that is only interested in stealing as much money from you as possible. They will use any tool at their disposal to do so. My mistake was not doing a full investigation before giving them any money. The Seattle Better Business Bureau has received so many complaints about this company that they issued a red flag warning. I strongly advise you to stay away from KREATIVE (kreative.com) and find a more reputable company to do business with.

Kreative Kreative Scammed Me Out of $14,000: My Experience and Warning to Others

So, I had a bit of an experience with Kreative, and let me tell you, it wasn't a good one. I was working with them for about four months, and I just had this feeling that something wasn't quite right. And then, when I started seeing all of the negative reviews and realized that they didn't even have BBB accreditation, I knew that I had to get out.

Unfortunately, it was too late for me. I'm now out over $14,000 in credit card debt because of them. Luckily, I was able to get in touch with National Debt Relief, and they're helping me to handle that debt across three different credit cards.

But that's not even the worst part. I had asked Kreative to take down a website that they had charged me $139.99 for. They said they would, but then it still showed up on my credit card statement. And now they want me to talk to a client retention specialist? It all just seems like a desperate attempt to keep me as a customer, even though they supposedly have the ability to resolve most issues.

Honestly, I'm just done with them. They're like wolves in sheep's clothing, pretending to be something they're not. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a class action suit against them at some point, because I know I'm not the only one who's been scammed by them.

Kreative KREATIVE Review: Empty Promises and Exorbitant Prices - Go with a More Reputable Company

This company, KREATIVE, is not worth your time or money. They claim to provide marketing services to help your business get on the first page of Google's search engine, but in reality, they charge you for things you don't even receive. They make it seem like being on the first page of Google is crucial, but they fail to mention that the only way to find your company is by entering your website address directly into the search engine. For example, if you sell hammers, you can't just type in "hammer" and expect to find your website. You have to enter your specific website address, which is unlikely for new businesses that aren't well-known yet.

To add insult to injury, KREATIVE charges an exorbitant amount of money for their services. They claim to provide marketing services for $16,250.00, but in reality, it's just a way for them to take your money without providing any real value. They also charge an additional $3,000.00 for a software app that you may never even receive. In total, you could end up paying around $20,000.00 for work that is poorly done, incomplete, or non-existent.

If you're looking for a better alternative, consider using Go Daddy instead. They offer affordable website hosting and marketing services that are much more reliable and effective. Don't waste your hard-earned money on KREATIVE's empty promises. Save yourself the hassle and go with a more reputable company.

Kreative Beware of Kreative: A Cautionary Tale of Investing and Debt

Kreative, Business Venture or John Giles, is a company that you should be cautious of. I made the mistake of investing $42,282.14 into this business and worked tirelessly on my website, EverydayHammocks, every single day. However, as of 5/31/21, I have not received any return on my investment.

One of the major issues with Kreative is that they make you sign another contract, which requires you to pay $99.99 per month for 24 months. I informed them on 10/14/2020 that I couldn't afford this monthly payment as a widow, but they continued to charge my bank account. As a result, I have paid an additional $1,199.88, which has put me in debt.

I finally had to refinance my mortgage for a lower interest rate and cancel three credit cards to get out of this mess. Instead of relying on Kreative, I decided to join Airbnb & Vrbo and started renting out my 1st-floor unit to vacation tourists. To my surprise, I have made more money than my entire bill to Kreative.

It's important to note that Kreative has a poor rating, which I should have checked before investing in them. They are nothing but con artists who take advantage of innocent people. I would strongly advise you to beware of them.

If you need proof of the costs I paid, I would be happy to provide a copy. Unfortunately, this site won't accept attachments. So, please be careful and avoid Kreative at all costs.

Kreative Disappointing Experience with KREATIVE: Overpriced and Underdelivered

I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed with KREATIVE. They made some big promises about helping my mom set up an online store and make some extra cash, but they didn't deliver on any of it. And to make matters worse, they charged her an arm and a leg - $16,000, to be exact - for basically nothing.

My mom is 68 years old and just trying to make ends meet, so this was a huge blow to her. She refused to sell anything related to sex, which apparently was a problem for KREATIVE, because they didn't offer any other suggestions for products she could sell. They didn't do any research or provide any guidance whatsoever - they just took her money and ran.

It's really not cool to take advantage of someone like that, especially someone who's older and just trying to make a buck. My mom has asked for her money back, but so far KREATIVE hasn't done anything to make it right. If they had just charged a reasonable amount for the time they spent, that would be one thing - but $16,000 is outrageous.

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend KREATIVE to anyone. If you're thinking about using them, I'd say think again and stay far away. They're not worth the money or the hassle.

Kreative DropShipping SCAM

My father was coerced into a contract with this dishonorable company under the pretense that he would receive thorough training, marketing and website building. My father is 79 years old and was trying to earn some extra money to support himself and his wife of 55 years. He is a disabled veteran and believed the representative. This company applied for a credit card in his name and immediately charged up to $11,000 without his knowledge or consent. They also invoiced him for another $10,000. Their partner company, ACCEL E-Commerce also took out another credit card in my father's name and charged $5000. My father has realized, like several other people in the same situation, that this company is nothing but a scam. Profits are unattainable and additional charges are incurred with increasing and alarming amounts. They are now harassing my father and threatening him with breach of contract. This company needs to be shut down or sanctioned. They should be charged with elder abuse and unscrupulous business practices!

Desired outcome: I want to raise awareness for all people who may be coerced into these predatory practices being used by this company and a full refund to my father and any other victims out there.

Kreative Website building company

I would first like to add that I would give this company zero stars if it would allow. They are definitely SCAMMERS! Most of us think of scammers as someone who calls you and says you have an over due bill or something, gets your card information and runs with that. Not these people. These people, (as there are too many who contacted/harassed me to count) scam in a way that catches you off guard. They ask what your goals and dreams are and then emotionally and financially manipulate you that way. This never ending nightmare all started in November of 2020. This was shortly after Covid began and everyone was hurting financially, losing their jobs or being stuck at home. I was one of those people who lost their job. So of course, just like online shopping, I began looking online for work as well. The other reason I started this process was because I was trying to fulfill my dream of getting a sentimental family saying trademarked. As I was searching the internet, I came across Kreative (unfortunately for me). Then the scam began. Of course, I reached out to them and they initially asked me about these goals and dreams I had. They then used these completely to their advantage to sell me this scam of theirs. They told me that instead of making the website that I was imagining for this trademark, that I had to first make a different website with them. They asked me more about what I wanted for my "future" dream website. I told them about myself and the story behind the saying. I am a mother of five children, whom are all grown up now. My disabled son passed away about thirteen years ago. My whole family would say this meaningful saying to him and each other. This has made it incredibly special for us, especially after losing him. My plans were also to have sustainable income for the future, which would allow me to stay at home and be with my grandkids more. We continued on with Kreative (many other companies as well) to have them build me this website. Throughout this process, I would have meetings with my "coach" to try and help me understand what was going on. They would have different employees call and basically just ask me for more money for something that would "help" with my website. Always saying that I "need" to do this to be successful. One of these other companies being Digital Guidance (who also scammed me and got a ton of my money). I'm pretty sure they were just partnered together to scam even more and more people. After a while, I got so many different calls that I didn't even know if they were really from Kreative or not and was sick of paying them large sums of money. I can't even stomach saying publicly how much money they stole from me. I feel robbed and humiliated. Unfortunately, all of this pain and suffering was not spent alone. I talked my daughter into investing with me (of course before I know it was a scam) and she is now as emotionally and financially distraught as I am. These people have ruined our lives. We have no savings, struggle financially everyday and it takes a toll on our mental health as well. Just having this burden over our shoulders is a huge weight on us that feels as if it can never be lifted. We have felt nothing but stress for years now. We never came from money and sadly we have even less than we did before this all started, which was not much. We are writing this to warn others to not fall for this SCAM. It will ruin you financially and emotionally. The worst part is that they continued to try and get $100 a month from us and when we refused, they took down the website they made for us which we never made a dime on in the first place! This almost three year long experience has been unbelievable and life changing in the worst possible way!

Kreative Scam alert!

Had I known that they deliver their promises forever, I should not have bothered!
It's a total scam, I am sure. They care nothing about their customers at all.
I was intentionally charged 5000 dollars. Of course, there was no reason provided. I didn't even use the service for a while, but they thought that it would be a great idea to take some money from those who used them once and already paid, by the way.
I noticed it and immediately demanded them to refund their money within several hours. It's been a week and there's nothing. Going to report to the authorities. I don't need this &%&% in my life.

Kreative Unethical behavior

Kreative has contacted several of my clients and told them that my company has failed them, and then offers services to my clients that they have already purchased. My clients report bullying tactics, and one client reports they call every single day.
Some clients also state that Kreative claims that my company asked them to contact the client, which is a complete lie.
Some of my clients have purchased services and then reported to me that they have received little to nothing in return for their investment. My clients are upset, and I am upset that another company would call and lie about my company in order to make a sale.
I want Kreative and all of their associated business names to stop contacting my clients and lying to them, harassing them, and trying to bully them into buying services that don't actually help my clients.

I feel that this is a completely illegitimate compliant. It seems as if nothing about Kreative services can be assessed from this. It more so seems as if an individual is more upset about his clients going a different direction.
