Hy,

"This is a scammer company. They did some outreach work for me in June, but due to a website issue, the links were removed. I sent them over 100+ sites for replacement, but none suited them. Instead of working with me, they filed a case with PayPal, got my PayPal blocked, and had the payment refunded. Be cautious when dealing with this company; they're scammers."
