Hello, this is my first post here, so I hope I didn't break any rules. I could really appreciate some feedback. I apologize if I am not allowed to name names, I just don't know how else to ask my question without doing so. Here is my situation. There is a company named Synapse India. They were hired to do our site, messed a bunch of things up, and didn't finish what we paid for. We wrote a bad review, and they hacked into our website and took it down (we had proof, they left a very stupid and messy trail). FBI called them, and they put our site back up. Now they are flaming our company name online left and right. They are starting blogs about us, and writing awful and false reviews. We have already taken legal action against them, which has incurred all this flaming. It feels a little petty and useless to take further legal action. Has anything similar to this happened to any of you? Has anyone else had dealings with Synapse India?
thats funny, the fbi was so concerned about your tiny business that they called them and told them to put your site back up.... kiddies..... sure why not, they have plenty of time since Osama is not around anymore....
either settle down with them, or take them down, literally (i meant legally there isnt another way that i can think of...
I was considering using Synapse India. I am in America too. I have heard many great things about India but this week I have been hearing bad things like archaic coding and misspelling. I cannot spell either so I need someone that can. lol I have enjoyed learning about India over the years but now that I need a developer myself. I was working with some people in Pakistan. They are wonderful people but could not do the coding required. How do I find a good affordable developer that is also innovative? My site is heavy in data structure and database. I would prefer a company or team since the database is only the beginning and hopefully there will be much work in the future once the beta site launches. Any ideas? Is there a place or list to find some the best companies?
Good idea. I am new here so I am still learning my way around. It took me a minute to find the forum but I did. That will probably help a lot. I am curious, this site seems to be full of very qualified developers in one area of development or another. Perhaps I should look for some personal recommendations instead of a list. Can anyone here recommend someone talented in Data Structure that is affordable to an American? I know that currency exchange makes it feasible for some countries or students. Ideas?
I'm going to take a guess and say the FBI most likely did not get involved in this. Ignoring that... There's not a ton that can be done. You may be able to contact each site that hosts the reviews and ask nicely for them to be removed, but keep in mind that they aren't required to do so. Most reviews fall under fair use, so don't bother trying legal action against these third party sites. If you're really interested in going after these guys, contact a lawyer. You may have grounds for a defamation suit if their statements are indeed false (and are knowingly false). If you don't think It's worth going to court over, there's not much else to be done.
