There are many internet phony complaints about me and my small company on www.pissedcustomer.com and www.complaintsboard.com. I have to inform you that 99% of the thing written are lies and exsadurations. Many complaints are written by my competition and many are written by people that work for those sites. Every time there is a new complaint or a new comment , I get emails from those website offering me to remove the complaint for $100 or other fees. I will never pay them and I will fight for my honest name. I already have an attorney working on this issue and looking for a way to fight them and I have profs to any transactions, if you are interested just email me the link to complain and I will email you all the info (email exchange, paypal recites ….)
Competing artists are trying to destroy my reputation instead of trying to improve their work. I have caught several artists already posting lies. Every-time I post links to my Paypal, eBay or site feedback, the administration of these sites removes my comments. I can’t even defend my name on these sites. I try to post defense comments and 10 seconds later there are 10 more comments claiming I’m a lair.
My attorney found out that pissedcustomers.com have people employed for posting comments and counter – defense comments. For them is just a business. They cover you with dirt and then ask you for money to remove the gossip. Its a very simple form of extortion. Anyone can write whatever the hall they want on the internet and then people believe the lies and gossip. People have automatic assumption that if its on the internet, it must be true.
Here is the links to prove my words:

Here is a copy of the email that I receive every time after comment is posted:

All this done just for one reason , to extort money from business owner.
PLEASE before making any desigion about me, first contact me and I will provide you with full story to any negative comment, I will provide email exchange, paypal transactions , tracking numbers.
My main goal is my customers satisfaction,
Dear Friends,
I’m the artist Leonid Afremov and the owner of www.afremov.com. I have been selling my art only online in the past 7 years. I have thousands of happy customers a this point. unlike most people at this site that hide their names I have nothing to hide. I’m a professional artist currently residing in Playa Del Carmen , Mexico. I like to travel and Caribbean Mexico is country of residence number 4 for me after Russia, Israel, and Florida.
Any company makes occasional mistakes and has customers complaining. As a reasonable consumer, you can’t judge a business only by a small handful of complaints at a site where everyone can write what ever they want on anyone. You also need to check the positive comments as well. As a customer you have the right to be check out any company online, but you also must understand that this could happen to anyone. The Internet allows people to anonymously say anything about any anyone, without any proof that they are telling the truth.
I see here only a very small handful of reasonable complaints. All the other are posted by unsuccessful jealous artists and competition. As a successful artist, i have been dealing with haters for a while. When you rise to the top , you always going to have people trying to bring you down.
Best Regards,
Leonid Afremov
