As I googled the name, I had a distinct feeling like I'd googled them before, but nothing stuck out.

I guess that's the thing with marketing firms. As big as they might be, if they do their job well enough, you'll rarely ever hear about the company themselves.
*shrugs*

It's a shame they don't appear to have a portfolio, you could've asked a few other known devs how things went.
Maybe that's a bad sign..?

If they are invisible. Then "fraud" as a weight would be high.

Remembering how gfk wrote about being ripped of, I'd do a lot of asking around before getting frauded.

Can't tell if it's the same one, but Company Information claims the company was set up in 2020, but is already dissolved, so.. *shrugs* (It seems to be for meat and tobacco, so I doubt it's the same company!)

WhoIs suggests the domain was only purchased a few months ago, though.

.. so.. um..

*shrugs*

Good catch regarding the domain. Yeah I think I’ll give them a miss.

TBH, first thought in looking at it the other day, was it screamed "Alex", Forget the company back in the day, but a guy named "Alex" was behind it and was signing up people from the 3D RAD, PieGCS and other communities and nobody ever got paid, even though their games got sold. I butted heads with the SOB on several occasions.
