A Nightmare Experience – Avoid Creative Web Studios Inc.
Creative Web Studios Inc. was nothing short of a nightmare. They persistently pursued our business with promises they did not meet (development, delivery, hosting and a live website). However, once they had our money (June 2023) it took a staggering six months for them to complete the project (Dec 2023). To make matters worse, they billed us under two different company names, which should have been a huge red flag from the start.
Despite assurances that they would host our site on their server for two years, the server went down after only two months. Once we paid in full, communication came to a halt. Emails went unanswered, and the phone number we had been using was disconnected. Shortly after, we started receiving unsolicited calls from other companies offering the same services for the same price, which felt suspiciously like a scam.
A year later, we attempted to contact them again and were connected to someone claiming to be "Eric Olson." His accent didn't match the name he claims to be (this has been the case with all those we spoke to at CWS), and he refused to escalate the issue, insisting that the manager was always unavailable. All we have been asking for is a copy of the website files we had fully paid for, but they refused to give them or even authorize the hosting company to release the backups to us.
Even worse, they eventually connected our previous review to why they are refusing to release our files by blaming the situation on our negative feedback. Over a year has passed, and we’ve received absolutely nothing for the money we paid. The people at Creative Web Studios Inc. have proven themselves to be nothing more than a scam, and we strongly advise others to avoid them at all costs.
Their listed addresses appear dubious, their website doesn't function, and their company name is suspiciously similar to others, which only adds to the confusion. They seem to be operating under fraudulent pretenses, preying on businesses that trust them, only to be left ripped off and without recourse. Avoid at all costs.
