123Triad is a SCAM they will lie to get your business

Mar 14, 2009 11:51AM PDT

People beware of 123Triad, the will promise the sky but will not deliver.

I paid them 50% and its been over 4 months for the job to complete and they charged my credit card, knowing that the job was not completed or even approved.

The work is done in India and the grammar on my website looks like a 5 year old did it.

Beware of Rupesh and his company they SUCK.

123TRIAD concerns
Mar 16, 2009 8:54AM PDT

I am having a very difficult experience, to the point of chest pains. i got a bill today for 10,000 when i signed up for a discount package. we are going on 8 months of design, 2 web designers and constant edits after approving and then the change occurs on their end, pages get turned around and they want to charge me for the changes to the correction. nobody knows english obviously, the edits are many and you just shake your head? there is no grammer or common sense and we have huge regrets. the salesman said we would have local access to the designer. nope, we got a list of indian names that things were going back and forth, i have emails from the sales man and his promises, he was careful, i can see in his wording and what he said over the phone versus how he worded our emails. they lost my work twice and it's just been limited. i don't have a site as they want 10 grand. the final bill was to be 1500. i won't pay it, let them sue me. i will counter sue with damages and who cares. i can have the final payment go to a designer that will finish. what a stupid business to lose repeat work and word of mouth. foolish. this clearly shows that when a company has a paid for legal department, they need a legal department. learning every day. if anyone wants to join me in my lawsuit, let me know back. i think this is worth a class action lawsuit, with fraud, extortion and criminal intent. i have an international lawyer looking into it right now. ridiculous! low class. sad.

Nov 19, 2013 3:24AM PST

I have a bunch of information on the company about disclosure laws and out sourcing to India and the Philipines. I have saved all my emails and how ridiculous their responses are. I'am ready to seek legal council.
They will not get away with what they are doing.

HORRIBLE SERVICE (SCAM) THEY SUCK!!
Mar 5, 2010 2:54AM PST

I PAID $1739 dollars for a crappy incomplete website that I am not even using. THERE IS NOT A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE AS ADVERTISED!!!!!! They binded me by a crappy contract that pretty much gives them the right to take their time and not complete anything! Their turn around times are HORRIBLE!! It took them 6 months to complete only 4 small pages. I requested five but they were taking so long it was costing me more money just to wait on them!! Couldn't take it anymore so I hired a "real" web designer and got the job done within a reasonable time frame unlike triad. They are TERRIBLE!!! DON"T GET SCAMMED TOO!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! THEY WILL NOT EVEN REFUND MY MONEY!!!! ANY THEY WILL SURELY RIP YOU OFF TOO!! DON'T TRUST THEM!!!!

same experience with Triad
Dec 5, 2011 9:18AM PST

Triad is only good at charging your charge account, and trying to add addition charges with no results. I paid for content, they admitted that, and then told me they were waiting for me to send content? I paid for a video spokesperson, sent in what was to be said, and was told, he was off on Friday, then off on Monday, and then they were picking a new spokesperson, nothing yet.

This is why you don't trust other countries like this
Dec 30, 2011 4:41AM PST

I've heard similar claims about them and it's always the same. Really, it may be cheaper but that's why.. they screw you over.

I'd rather pay more to have a native speaker and a localized (at least in my country) company or person do it for me than to save a little bit of money and then receive nothing but problems.
