Our Company was ripped off from George Hap, CEO, of YBIZZ. We have been in business for 43 years, and we have never encountered such a dishonest, two-faced, deceitful man. George Hap stole a total of 18,362.25 from us.
We contracted George Hap to rebuild our 3 websites. George kept asking for deposits, but the only thing we received from him is sob stories and excuses, with no work provided towards our new websites. DON’T GIVE THIS MAN ANY BUSINESS. You will most likely lose your money and receive no work from him.
If you do decide to give George Hap your business, make sure you DON’T GIVE HIM ANY DEPOSITS TOWARDS YOUR JOB. You will lose deposit it and receive no work from him. Only pay him when the job is complete. If you work with him there is a very good chance you will stop getting your email and calls returned and you will be out the money you give him.
We would like to warn other companies (and consumers) to be aware of this rip-off artist so they do not have to go through the same hardship as we did.

October 3rd, 2014- Still had not received status update on website redesigns or update schedule to reflect projects progress. Sent emails to George Hap to get a response from him. He finally responded that he keeps coming up with issues in the shipping area, “as there is so much of it.” His employees have told him that it should be done by the end of day Friday. The other 2 sites, are going to be done much faster as per George Hap himself.

December 23rd, 2014- Mr. Haps’ response to our emails was that his team in Europe are working on this and “so please rest assure that your sites are going to be finished to your satisfactory.” Then he asked for a few more days to compile a list of what was completed versus what needs to still be done and we would receive by Monday December 30th, 2014. At this time, we requested weekly status updates and recommended utilizing our team for support.
December 30th, 2014- Received update email that states everything has been completed, that needed to be finished and updated timeline for FauxPanels.com.

January 8th, 2015- We followed up with Mr. Hap as we still had not received the documents he had promised on December 30th, 2014.
