Kerry Simms - Paintingcrew.net - Rentpainterstoday.com Graphic Designer Abuse Kerry Simms cannot be trusted! Nationwide

Kerry Simms of paintingcrew.net cannot be trusted.

I replied to his cragslist ad, he was looking for a new Ad to promote his company. He replied and said i was HIRED.

Upon sending mock-ups he replied and basically blew me off and stole the mock-ups and didn't pay for them.

He claimed that the mock-ups were bad. He Obviously stole them but played the fool like he didn't know that mock-ups are rough drafts. I have over 10 years of Graphic Design experience, i assure you i know what I'm doing.

The conversation can be seen below. Conversation is in reverse order (most recent message first, so start at the bottom.)

your work is trash BUT i will keep your free designs thanks alot

You said I was “hired.” You can't just hire me, poach my mockups and then go with someone else.

We had a verbal agreement of you accepting my rates for services rendered.

Hello,

It's been 24 hours since I sent you the mockups.

Make sure not to use them because they have a digital watermark.

Have you taken a look at them?

Thank you

How urgent is this Ad for you?

If you're not busy, I can have a couple mockups ready by late tonight or early tomorrow morning if that's okay.

Depending on how intricate you want the design, I can do it for 20-30 dollars.

Can you send me your previous Ad and what your new vision is?

Then maybe we can shake on this.
