Michael Grissinger IsItVivid.com DO NOT HIRE Michael Grissinger or IsItViVid.com without contacting me Jacksonville Florida

I just got an email, actually a few, from a current Grissinger customer from Ohio.  He states he has been taken for $3500 and that he has not heard from Michael since 11/28.  Apparently Michael has had his office phone disconnected as well.

This individual found me from this ripoff report so I suggest anyone who is considering working with Michael to think otherwise.  I recognize he will quote you cheap and the work he will send you to entice your business is decent, but don't waste your time.  He is a piece of garbage.  

Michael is a fraud.  All you have to do is google him and you will find others with the same claim.  You will also find a website devoted to his fraud from a Dutch company if you search for his name long enough.  

Where there is smoke there is fire.  It is apparent that I am hurting his business and that is why he is taking time to respond.  

I wish I would have listened to my gut after inquiring with him about the various claims on the web.  Please listen to your gut.  Once again, I'm an executive for a publicly held company.  I am a respected  business executive and he is a con artist.  

" I contacted his former employer, found on his Linkedin profile, to see if they could help me in my pursuit in finding him.  His former employer gave me a cell phone as they took sympathy on me as they were well aware of his BS behavior."

- Being that my former employer (from 3 years ago) and I still do work together, this is a pretty funny claim. My former Creative Directors both contacted me letting me know "a crazyman" had contacted them and they were not interested in replying to you, and one of them shot me this email after you tried to contact them:

"What a pain! I'm sorry this guy is going to such great lengths to make you sound bad. Just wanted to make sure you were alright and to let you know I'm NOT going to reply to this joker." You can see a screen shot of her message here.

"He simply could had said I was lying and that he was filing a lawsuit, but he isn't and he won't."

- For slander? Suing for slander is one of those things that drag on it courts for months and end up costing tens of thousands of dollars - and you know that, which is exactly why you've continued on with this. I'm at a loss as to why you're so out to get me and my company at this point. 

Additionally - if my company "ripped" you off and you were filing a lawsuit, then why did you never follow through with that? I hardly have a reason to file a suit because you said something bad about my business on a website (and you call me a liar because I haven't sued you?), but if you have such "provable" reason, why did you never follow through? 

This will be my last reply to this report. It's unfortunate that this ever escalated to this level, but it's hard to even reason and rationalize when you make allegations that are just so far off from the truth.

I am the author of this report and I stand by words.

It's simple: How do you know when Michael Grissinger is lying?  His lips are moving.  In this case, his diarrhea of the mouth response should give you enough hesitation to hire him alone.

He simply could had said I was lying and that he was filing a lawsuit, but he isn't and he won't.  I have plenty of cell phone records that will show 20 plus attempts over days to his phone with no response.  I have a laundry list of email exchanges with no responses.

This guy is a fraud.  I contacted his former employer, found on his Linkedin profile, to see if they could help me in my pursuit in finding him.  His former employer gave me a cell phone as they took sympathy on me as they were well aware of his BS behavior.  If you don't believe me, call them yourself.

Once again, I stand by what I am writing and if Michael believes this is hurting his business, he is welcome to file a lawsuit, in fact, I welcome such.  I will then file a counter claim and call a dozen witnesses, former clients, to back up my opinions.

Once again, if you are considering hiring, call me first.  I am an executive in the chemical industry in the greater philadelphia area.  You can find me on Linkedin.  

I'm honest a little confused about this post, and for quite some time I was speechless. However, I'd like to shed some light on what happened in this clients situation.

We were asked to design pieces of this start-ups website, and we initially provided some work under a contract. After which, for several months, the client would send us a project saying "hey, we need 5 pages designed", and I would reply saying "sure, it'll take x amount of time, and cost x amount of dollars". I provided the work, and upon approval, they then paid for it. To be extra clear, I gave them the work, and then they paid after receiving and approving it.

At this point, all work that they asked for, was provided, and they paid for it. There was no outstanding work to be done, and no outstanding payments to be made.

In the last instance, they once again said "we need x amount of pages done within x time frame". I replied with "The price will be this $x, but I'll be leaving to go out of town for a few days, and I'll do my best to get it done before then, otherwise it'll have to wait until I get back". Their reply was frustrated saying "well, it cost us time and money if you can't deliver within x amount of days". Again, I let them know I'd do my best and couldn't promise that I'd deliver when they needed it by.

We were under no contract, they were free to go to another designer if they needed it sooner. They asked for a quote and I gave them a timeframe they didn't like. They were under no obligation to use us, and we were under no obligation to even accept their project.

Let me reiterate, that they had not made any type of deposit for this new task, and all previous work had been delivered to them (before they paid).

Regardless, we did do the designs which they asked for. They replied angry that we took so long, even though it was still within the time that WE gave them. They responded that they were suing us for damages in the amount of $15,000. It's now months later, and I think they must have realized that they were out of line, and had no reason to sue. We certainly never got a notice of a lawsuit. 

So, that's the story. And again, I'm just confused when reading this.

"Michael portrays his company as business that can design and develop websites.  He will never deliver product, never" 
- Well that's not true. We have many very satisfied clients, and references should you ever choose to contact us.

"Michael will inform anyone who questions him about the three identical ripoff reports that all three unique companies did not understand how he works and the contract.  These are lies from an accomplished con artist. "

- An accomplished Con Artist? I simply don't think I'm smart enough to be such, nor do I think I'd be able to manage a successful web design firm if I were such :) We also don't have 3 prior rip off reports? 

"Do not hire Craize LLC, IsItVivid.com, or Michael Grissinger to design or develop your website.  You will not receive product and Michael will disappear."

- It's pretty hard to disappear when we're easily found in an office every day from 9-6. :) One which the client visited as well. So I'm really unsure as to how he was unable to get in touch with us, except for the time that I told him that I would be out of town, but even then I talked with the client several times to try and smooth things with him.

--------------------

As a side note, it's really troubling that ripoffreport will allow people to post completely untrue things, and then charge companies $2,000 to have just the untrue things (not the whole report) removed.
