Instafi.com Belly Up! Phone Disconnected.

Seems Instafi's telephone number has been disconnected. Rumor is they shut down officially. Well, any one located in Orange County who's owed money care to venture over to their offices at 2600 Michelson, Suite 300 in Irvine and see if they're having a parking lot fire sale of all that expensive designer furniture, BMW's, Mercedes and high tech equipment?

My little $225 is but a drop in a huge bucket shot full of holes...others are owed more than $2000.

You know what they say: EXPERIENCE IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU DON'T GET PAID!

I'm still filing a small claims suit to recover my fees. Or, if I drive down there, maybe I can pick up a printer or a copier for my trouble....I had a feeling all along they would shut down. Instafi.com has a huge employee lawsuit against them and workmen's comp claims that are unsurmountable....

What the heck? Gotta have a sense of humor. These people jerked me around for a year before I caught on to them. Fast talking, silver tongue foxes....up to the end claimed they weren't going out of biz. They only asked for EIN/SS #'s to stall all who owed money.

I drove over 200 miles to complete a signing for them, and went back when they told me I needed an original copy of a death certificate. I've never been paid. I wish I'd known about you guys, because I wouldn't have been suckered.
