Important Community Alert: Unsimpleworld Scamming Client Over $4,500 USD

[splicho]

Hello,

I'm here to report Nikolas "unsimpleworld" Kolis for scamming a friend of mine out of a total of $4,500 USD. Earlier this year, in late February, my friend commissioned a website project from him that was supposed to include the following:

• A full Lineage 2 website
• A Wiki page
• WizardCP

Project link: https://talkingisland.net/
Price: $4,500 USD



Around two months ago, my friend reached out to me, explaining that they had been scammed by unsimpleworld and that he was being uncooperative and unresponsive. Given my previous experience working with unsimpleworld as a graphic designer, I decided to contact him directly, hoping my connection might help resolve the situation.

When I reached out to unsimpleworld, I explained the situation and asked why the project had been abandoned or delayed, and why he was ignoring my friend’s messages. He claimed that the delay was due to issues with the developers assigned to the project. After some back and forth, he assured me that he would complete and launch the site promptly.

Surprisingly, he did put the website online that same day — but it was 80% unfinished and not functional.

However, about two weeks ago, I revisited unsimpleworld's portfolio and noticed that he has been working on two new projects (L2Allure & L2Satyricon) instead of completing my friend's project, which was ordered back in February. After seeing this, I contacted my friend again to check on the progress of their TalkingIsland website. Unfortunately, they informed me that they are still waiting for the website to be finished, and unsimpleworld continues to be unresponsive and has yet to fulfill the order.




Note the first seen date, that proves that these projects have been published quite recently, instead of finishing TalkingIsland (Ordered late February).

Adding to the concern, a Russian developer who has worked with unsimpleworld informed us that he had also scammed several other Russian developers recently. I have screenshots that provide more details on this.

It’s shocking that a supposedly reputable web development studio, known for their expensive designs, could have such poor management and customer support. For the price my friend paid, the level of service was far from acceptable.

That's rough. Hopefully, this behavior won't continue. I'd suggest everyone deal with caution.

What a piece of shit that guy is for scamming someone.
Is it possible that your friend could do a chargeback with the help of his bank?
Sometimes telling/threating the person with a chargeback would make them react, since I don't think any bank would just turn a blind eye when it comes to such a large amount of money.

I told him to chargeback yes, but I haven't heard back from him regarding this matter.
He confronted unsimple with the chargeback though, and he was just like "You can't chargeback the money, because we gave you already the template", which is working like 20%, you can check it out

Already checked out that template, but I would say he should go ahead with a chargeback soon.
Because they agreed to a fully working website, not a template.
Wish him the best of luck with this!

Yikes. Hard to trust people when they do stuff like that.
