THIS IS MY STORY - SIMON CREEDY

Hi guys,

I recieved an email from Adam Hughes at the time representing HUGHES COATINGS a commercial painting company in Brisbane... moments later changing the name to IPAINTING and asked for help with rebranding including logo design, facebook graphics and ads. He got at least 5 other graphic designers/web designers involved after me that I know of... and has paid none of them from what I can see... but has ripped us all off. I have since complained to fair trading brisbane who said they can do nothing as it is a case of simple debt ...

After further investigation he has been dealt with for fraud in the past, I see him as a habitual liar and fraudster as witnessed by all the people listed on the right.

Below is the first of more than 40 emails... while he is deceptive he is demanding and knows exactly what he wants to achieve... and why wouldnt he work me hard... I dont beleive he had any intention of paying for my work.

Be aware he is totally beleivable and incredibly charismatic.

Hi Simon
 
Thanks for your prompt reply.
 
As mentioned we had a company designing logo and the communication is dreadful and it has been going on for over a week.
We have a newspaper campaign starting this Thursday and Premedia require logo by 6pm today.
 
We would like our logo designed based off the attached examples, we like the font of Pohlman Brothers..
 
Basically we are a Painting Company in Brisbane that has been operating for over 11 years however are only just starting to advertise via print and online, therefore a new modern logo is required instead of the basic text logo we have always had.
 
I understand the time restrictions however we would appreciate anything you can do at this stage.
 
I am in a meeting now however can reply via email almost immediately.
 
Thanks for your help
 
Kind Regards,
Adam Hughes

Adam doesnt have an office... it turns out... he has was running an answering service out of Sydney.

Neither businesses mentioned on this page are registered.

His location on the email is not right either... so not only in my opinion is he a liar but has made himself almost uncontactable by traditional methods.

While he has told me on every occasion that he is happy to pay etc etc... the guy is just a misleading con man and has no intention of doing so. If you run into him and he rips you off... I hope you will come here and find out your not the only one before things get too out of hand. Ipainting is the (again) superfast rebrand of Hughes Coatings.

Be careful of Adam Hughes of Ipainting Brisbane he is charming BUT deceptive and will take your work without paying for it..

Sorry if you also got caught by him and his company.

I feel he should be in prison... and I hope someone can get him there soon.
