    Owned by William Franlkin aka Freddie Avila

    The Global Infusion Scam goes like this. Graphic and Web Designer are contacted through Craigslist, "hired" per contract, after 2 weeks of work never receives pay.

    Who does this affect? This has affected numerous customers as well as the designers because website jobs never get completed though the customer pays a portion up front, as indicated by the numerous complaints that are starting to appear a crossed the internet.

    I along with 8 other web designers that I know of have all been scammed through this process. The Global Infusion site itself was created and designed through this process in which I, nor the other designers ever got paid for.

    You can find more information about Global Infusion, William Franklin aka Freddie Avila on SCAM.COM and COMPlAINTS.COM, and well as Google Maps Review.

    By the way, legal action is being perused.
    Please notify me if you have fallen victim to this scam either as customer or designer, or if you have any questions.

    This a Global Infusion Scam Alert!

    I've also been scammed by this so called Freddy Avila. I was hired on as a designer with him filled out w-2 forms, time sheets, and everything. Haven't received a dime for any of my services. Let me know what I have to do to get on board with you on the claim. Thanks

    I too have been scammed by this Joke of a human being! A month long project I created for major website that "Freddie Avila" contacted me to do. After hesitant thoughts, I became unwise to his slick ways and trusted that I would receive payment... Needless to say after I sent the design in, IMMEDIATELY Freddie Avila stopped accepting my attempts to contact him... No phone pick ups.. no email replies, No nothing...... But I did learn A lesson a very "time consuming expensive lesson!" I won't even start a project unless I get a deposit down for starting a job, and that's the way it should be! to bad I don't live in LA. I would go jack his jaw!

    People I would advise you to stay away from and to NOT trust Global Infusion or the Scam Artist known as Freddie Avila!
