Beware of LogoFuze.com scam!

Fri Feb 15, 2008, 10:48 PM

I have been recently contacted by a person Cole Bowen who belonged to a so-called scam logo designing company [link]

He asked me to join his team to create logos for the clients because their main workforce is freelancers from around the world. so and so...and he convinced me to create a logo for one of his clients with a promise to pay me when the client accepts the design. I did the logo for his client Simply Silence here is link ( [link] ). I also received client's positive feedback, he asked for minor changes in the design and I did it. After I sent the revised design he just disappeared. He never came up online again in MSN, neither replied to any of my emails that I am been sending him for more than week.

I found a very nice folk on dA =blue2x who also have been contacted by the same company and got their logo done for free promising the future projects but he didn't get any project after that.

LogoFuze.com is a SCAM. I just want to make sure that no other guy gets scammed from LogoFuze.com who's strategy is to make money by getting their designs done by professional designers without paying them anything.

1.FREElancers from around the world. < yea right

2.with a promise to pay me when the client accepts the design. < client never accepts the design, thats what they say. They have to pay for the time spend not for the fcking approval.

yeah that's what i put forth to him in the starting and he said that he is just starting out the company so he will be paying me in future even if the client doesn't like the design because they will charge client for it.

but still i made a mistake ....!

Same old stories.
no body has seen the future. talk about present.
yea they charge client with cleverness 50% early payment.
50% after the designer is screwed!
