Ronin Martial Arts - Mahopac

Rick Screeton from Ronin Martial Arts - gym owner, web developer & scammer of small businesses. Rick was hired to develop a small, basic website for my construction company - he came to us under the business name "Ninja Pipeline". However, our payment was directed to "Ronin Martial Arts", and I can't find record of a NYS business entity "Ninja Pipeline", so I am leaving my review here. Rick ended up presenting us a website built off a previously used template, built using AI, with fake reviews and our logo poorly attached. The entire website, and all of its contents, were lies and misinformation - he couldn't even get the phone number right. This was obviously unacceptable, and we made that clear. Rick called this "over-delivering"; I call it poor service and incompetence. We asked that the site be taken down until he was able to deliver a product in line with our business values. We were told it was taken down, but it actually never was. We also never got a new version in that time. After 6+ months...yes, 6+ MONTHS... my patience wore very thin, and it became obvious that Rick was incapable of delivering. We had been consistently given conflicting information as to why the site did not work, conflicting information about next steps, and lack of information regarding what was needed from our end as well as his. I fired Rick from the project and requested a refund of our initial deposit considering we have received nothing in return for it. I was met with silence; he has simply stopped responding. Apparently, Rick needed a handout. Think twice before doing any business with him; I certainly wouldn't want someone with these kinds of values to be teaching my child anything.
