Robolizard/Thomas Kane aka Thomas Stinson Scammed by Robolizard - Did Not Perform Service, Lied the Entire Time Managing Our Account, Fraud Scottsdale Arizona

I want to thank Thomas Sinson/Robolizard for resolving this issue and acting honorably in settling it with us. 

This could have easily taken another direction and Thomas took the high road which I really appreciate. 

I'm pleased to announce that a settlement has been reached with Thomas and RoboLizard. Multiple Payments have been made to resolve this in good form. 

I'd also like to state that Thomas has been acting honorably and forthright with us in all matters now and feel good about the path that we're currently on towards a full resolution to this issue. 

It has also come to my attention that there were several extenuating circumstances that took place during the time that this issue originally arose and that was like a strong contributor to this whole situation. We've all had our moments - this apparently is no different...

Looking forward to resolving this soon. 

Thanks

Seriously Mr. Wesley - I'm very surprised that you wrote that.

If you are going to provide a rebuttal - at the very least you should Get Your Facts Straight. 

First - regarding an agreement - I stated that there was an email that outlined the details of our arrangement that was agreed to. I may have stated that there was no drawn out lengthy agreement - but the fact remains there is a highly detailed email outlining the terms of our arrangement that was agreed to. In addition - at no time was it indicated that the scope of work was valued at $30,000 and I actually don't know where that number came from or what it entails...

In addition - your "10% profits" citation is completely incorrect. For one - it was a percentage of net sales (not profits) that started at 10% and increased on a volume incentive basis up to 20%. More sales = more revenue share. Again - your facts are not straight on that. 

Regarding your comment on the JV being in complete control by me is just ridiculous. I put the faith and goodwill of this project, which I previously had a considerable amount of time and money invested into it, into the hands and administrative control of RoboLizard. They had complete and unfettered access to every aspect of this project with the expectation that they would drive sales with the paid advertising (PPC) I was paying for, in addition to optimizing our site, create social media profiles, and provide SEO services so we can rank in the search engines. Obviously, none of that took place after several months of inaction and misrepresentataion of what actually took place. 

Let me also remind you Mr. Wesley that you and I spoke on multiple occassions subsequent to our break where you specifically stated that you would do everything possible to see that I get paid back the money I paid to RoboLizard. To date - not a single dime has arrived.. 

In terms of RoboLizard conveying assets - I understand that several files were uploaded to a dropbox account which I have not accessed. After Thomas explained how his computer and phones were completely hacked and compromised by two viruses - I had to seriously consider the integrity of the files that were uploaded and decided not to access them for the sake of my own security, identity, and digital safety. If you have ever been hacked or a victim of identity theft - you would probably do the same. 

So in conclusion - you can see that there still has not be any satisfaction to this matter and Mr. Wesley willfully omitted important facts around this situation. To not belabour this further as I've already wasted an incredible amount of time with RoboLizard - I can consider this matter closed - but NOT settled until I receive a check for the full amount. 

With all rights reserved... 

The rebuttal provided by Thomas (Stinson) Kane is not accurate relative to the reality of this situation. His claims of what he "provided" are again, false.  

Out of the things he listed that he provided per his work - we never saw it, nor received any files. Here are the facts surrounding this RipoffReport Rebuttal: 

1) News Website - no development work or a completed website was ever provided that we know of. If he did the work - it never made it over to us..

2) Keyword list - again - he may have generated a keyword list to target, however, he never supplied said list to us. 

3) Remarketing campaign. Yes - he actually did set this up - however, it was never started or ran. In addition - when I hired somebody else to continue this project, we quickly found out that Google blocked the remarketing campaign since it did not abide to Google's terms of service. The campaign had to be redone and resubmitted for review before it ran (which we had to pay for). 

4) Premium ad designs - yes he did create a couple ads (like 3 ads), however, they were all seasonal and are not usable 10 months out of the year.. 

5) SEO for 20 Products - really?! Never saw it, never received it, work never done..

6) PPC campaign - never saw it, never received it, work never done. 

Regardless of what Thomas has done with his special advisor, Wesley, they still have not cured or corrected this situation. In phone calls with Wesley and emails with Thomas - they both made the representations to us, multiple times, that they would pay us back the $1,000. Well, to this day, several months after having this correspondence with them, we still have not received a dime from Thomas or Robolizard.

It has become quite obvious that what Thomas/Robolizard says they're going to do versus what they actually do is two very different things, and at your expense. I continue to not be able to trust these people given the facts and circumstances around this situation and have to advise consumers to use extreme caution in doing business with them. 

There was no fraud, the work we did for this shared project was very good.

I hired a senior business intelligence advisor, Chuck Wesley. He helped organize my suddenly over-flooded SEO Company and with this particular agreement, discovered the investment amount on my part for this project would be $30,000 over two years. At 10% profit to Chris's 90%, this was not feasible and we had to cancel with him, sending him all the files and information we had created for the project to keep.

1. He paid $1000, he got back over $3000 worth of work and gets to stay at 100% profit of the project, I lost all
2. Chris gave $1000 as a good faith payment on a 2 year 90/10 profit split project and $500 towards the PPC campaign.
3. I put $1500 of my own towards design, PPC & development costs

He Received...

- A new industry news website for google ranking designed
- Remarketing Campaign
- Remarketing premium ad designs (2 sets, one seasonal)
- SEO for 20 products
- In depth keyword research & keyword list
- A PPC campaign for over 500 products

Our company does great work, we don't cheat people. We often take deals at too low of a price just to help people succeed.

To make sure we avoided making anyone feel like Chris did, over the next 3 months, Chuck, our contracted business intelligence advisor, organized, set up & taught company best practices on scoping work, writing proposals/contracts, keeping customers informed and choosing good business partners.

I am sorry this happened with Chris Kern, the mistake was mine for not knowing how to properly scope the project and write the contract so that it was fair.

His Comments On My Name:
I changed my name for very personal reasons, and it's public knowledge, my signature is Thomas (Stinson) Kane, there is no 'sneakyness', that is completely irrelevent.
