One thought on “Artcolors Ltd – Identity Stolen

    Good Morning

    My name is Sam Keefe and I’m the Marketing Manager at AVID Technical Resources. We have a bit of a counterintuitive issue here that I think you could help us out with. Your website does great things! I looked at it and Iove your mission and work.

    However, it’s actually hurting us, one of the victims of this scam. The way your website talks about how our name is being fraudulently used actually makes it seem like we are a fake company to somebody who’s not paying attention. Especially in search results. See the screenshot, below.

    We’ve worked very hard to create a strong brand and we have a ton of really satisfied clients and candidates. Check out the 107 google reviews we’ve amassed. The LA office is indeed real, as you’ll find on our website. I do see (and we’ve gotten calls from people fooled by it) that our name is being used by a scam company. But is there any way to re-post this in some way that doesn’t hurt our hard-won reputation? Or even to delete the post since it is now being investigated (I reported it myself to the FBI, as I’m sure many others have)? This is very, very upsetting for us to have this misleading result show up right below us on google searches.

    My inquiry is only asserted with the utmost respect, and since your mission is so noble, I felt you might be willing to help us resolve this. Your heart is very clearly in the right place! I think it’s also worth noting that ScamWarners was able to help us out since we had a similar issue with the way they were representing this info, too. I’ve added a screenshot of how their discussion of this scam now shows in Google. (They also said they’d fix the description below the header very soon, too!)

    Please feel free to respond via email or to call me (my cell and work number are in my signature below and you can call me on my cell after 8-5). I am on EST, but If the hours don’t quite match up, I’ll make sure I’m available to talk during your business hours– even if I have to wake up very early or stay up very late. This is a really important matter for me. Thanks!!!
