Michael Grissinger Vivid Breached the Contract Took our Money, Did not Do Work, Did not Refund Jacksonville, Florida

We had project on www.freelancer.com. Michael Grissinger promised to make great looking website. We signed a contract to create new design of our website. He initially bid based on a two-week turnaround time - but subsequently changed it (without notification) to three months. We paid a 50% deposit in advance. After initially working well for a two week period Michael simply disappeared for weeks and months at a time. We called him and wrote him emails with no respone. Since then he did not replied. He has taken our money, he has not delivered any work to us. I would seriously urge anyone thinking of working with him to reconsider.
