My company signed on with them for small business advertising and a basic website package. They were quick to set up a 12 month contract with auto billing to a credit card and very slow to get anything done. After spending over 100 hours on the phone with their “designers” in the Philipines and having no site for over 3 months the final product was less than adequate for our business. In fact my 8 year old daughter could have created a better site in about 10 minutes.

After being totally unsatisfied, I spoke with their Investigations department this morning, specifically Matthew Melcher who informed me that although they haven’t fulfilled their end of our contract that they will continue to bill my credit card for the next 9 months. Nice contract.

HIBU is in financial trouble (Bankruptcy in January 2014) because they have been ripping off the end consumers and small business owners since 2006. Mike Pocock and David Eckert should both jump ship before it sinks. The Federal Trade Commission should investigate and fine HIBU for selling snake oil and scamming people. Small business owners and consumers beware that HIBU will take your money and not deliver anything except empty promises.

HIBU is a scam!

Quality will be an issue by sourcing the IT and Fulfillment operations to Asia, that will be an interesting contrast: Moonfruit asian style.
