Do you think that Cynergy Studios LLC's behavior is like a scam?
I signed a contract with Cynergy Studios LLC on 2/20/2026. This is my second time hiring a new web designer. They have delayed my project by five months. The project manager has consistently refused to implement even the most basic, reasonable functionality and has sabotaged clients' projects, such as blocking clients' login status and the backend during meetings. Google Meet meetings are like war! They were refused and argued over basic functionality such as editing, font size, etc. Recently, they argued 100% ownership, shipping API integration rates, etc. After five months, they asked me for $47,500, which I found ridiculous.
Under our contract, no extra money and no hidden fees.
Under the contract, Category and home products were covered because they are part of the client-managed website. They argued that it is beyond the scope of the contract.
The contract covers 100% ownership. They argued that the Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator apps are out of scope. It is ridiculous that they can change my login password on the backend at any time. Without 100% control of the backend, the unfinished or even finished website is useless.
They only update a partial percentage of my feedback after waiting a few weeks, a month, or a few months, after the Skeleton homepage's first month.
I have been blocked three times on the backend, but they denied them all.
In June, the project manager almost forced and threatened to pay the remaining balance on a Google meeting. If I did not pay the remaining balance, my project would be delayed. The project manager promised me that they would hire three guys to finish my project for several days. After negotiation, I paid the agreed amount for the remaining balance. The project manager threw my project into the ocean for a few months. The promised words carry no weight with the project manager, as he has failed to deliver on his promises three times.
I like peace and a smooth process. However, they send me a nasty or ridiculous message every two weeks or a month. It has caused me a lot of stress and anxiety. One Sunday, I had to rush to urgent care for chest pain, high stress, and high anxiety.
They have failed to deliver my project four times under their promise. Also, they delayed for five months and asked me for an additional $47,500. How ridiculous is that! They have no intention of finishing my website at all. They're holding my project hostage for ridiculous extra money. Do you think their behavior is like a scam?
I will hire a good lawyer to fight the case in court!
