Last August, we elected to work with a business calling themselves Stone Image and Design. They offered to set up three informational sites about dogs for us. They did well in the beginning in keeping us informed about the status, but at some point, they stopped calling. We have left several messages but no one calls us back anymore.
Since we are working on getting our money back, we are doing a lot of research in locating this company and trying to call a number in which someone answers.
So far, we know that the company owner is Jerry or Jerald Hildreth. His company was also called Ace Promotions. You can find him by doing a Google Search on his name. His link is the one with LinkedIn. The company address at 2942 N. 24th St., Ste. 114, Phoenix, AZ 85016 is a "virtual" address. The company Executive Suites Plaza rents him the address and collects his mail for him, but Mr. Hildreth does not actually work with this company or even in this building. The website for Stone Image and Design has suddenly turned into a photography website, but the phone number on the site, (866)541-3541, is the same phone number as the web marketing company called Stone Image and Design. I was able to call that number earlier today, but now suddenly, I am not able to. It is a good thing I have Mr. Hildreth's direct number.
If anyone knows anything about this man or his fictitious company, please let us know by emailing us at animalfigstore@aol.com.
Our lesson has been learned. We now know to research a company before doing business with them. If you plan on working on the web, be sure to do research first. Google the company name and address, the CEOs name, find out how long the company has been in business, if the company located in the US, etc.
