I'm giving Sketchprofs 4 stars because… I'm giving Sketchprofs 4 stars because I received exactly what I had requested. After some initial onboarding hiccups, Linda, my project manager was very responsive and went out of her way to make sure I was happy with the process and the final artwork.

This company is a complete SCAM This company is a complete SCAM. Stay far away. 1. They claim to be around for 10+ years but their domain was created in 2020 2. All of their social media websites were created in 2020 too 3. These reviews below are not from real people. 4. There are no employees on LinkedIn listed for the company, and the reviewers here can't be found. I inquired about a project (through Zen Desk on the website), and met with "Alex Grey" on Zoom, and discussed it. We agreed on $1200. He sent me a payment link, and I paid. The payment says that it is managed by Stripe, but I DID NOT receive a receipt. I started to feel like something was off and that's when I realized that this fake company began in 2020. Alex said he sent me a receipt - an email arrived in my Outlook, and then it disappeared immediately (my IT team has protection). I went online to ask for a refund and Alex Grey tried to convince me to initiate the project, and I refused and asked for a refund. He told me that I would get it, and I didn't. Then he makes up an excuse that I can't get a refund because I got a discount (?) on the project. The length that scammers will go to is disgusting. Stay far away. THE RESPONSE BELOW MEANS NOTHING, AND I SENT THE FAKE ORDER NUMBER THAT I RECEIVED SPROF-82759 BACK. I RECEIVED A MESSAGE THAT I CAN'T GET A REFUND EVEN THOUGH WORK HAS NOT BEGUN.

Sketch Profs scammed me from 12/20/21 to 04/25/23 I was dealing with a company called Sketch Profs and the supposed CEO Alan Murphy and so called finance director/compliance officer Patrick Williams from Sketch Profs. I responded to a website search for children's book illustrators. Sketch Profs sold me many contracts to create many different projects for me such as a language app, a games app. They only sent me a demonstration of what the apps would look like on a cell phone, but they never actually loaded any games or languages onto a real app. They charged me thousands of dollars for this and then thousands more to hire extra staff to complete my projects, yet they never did. They sold me a turnkey art in frames business that was supposed to be an intact business that was completely ready to be activated in 48-72 hours. One year later, it still has not been activated. They sold me a publishing package, a marketing package, copyright registrations, trademark registrations, and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Artwork Registration and Notarization. They provided me with none of this. They are refusing to complete my projects. They gave me a fake receipt from WIPO, pretending they established a WIPO account for me with the funds they charged me. I sent the receipt to WIPO, and they said the document was unrelated to WIPO. They charged me $11,860 for this fake WIPO and refused to issue the refund. They were even trying to collect sales tax from me on the Fake WIPO charges and other charges many months to a year after the transactions were made when they never mentioned tax when they negotiated the price of the contract or the vice president of the company waived my responsibility to pay the tax if I paid them for another contract. They tried to extort the fake tax money from me by saying they won't give me any of my projects until I paid the then rescinded their waiver and demanded more tax money from me. They did not complete the children's book project they were paid to do. They submitted lies to the credit card company and submitted fake documents to the credit card company in an effort to reverse chargebacks. They may get away with a lot of money, over $100,000.00, just from me alone, and I was told by someone who claimed to be investigating Sketch Profs that they do the same to many customers. They sold me many other projects and provided me with no complete project. They did have many illustrations made but the project was abandoned by Sketch Profs in the middle of the project as it was not completed to specifications. They did not create book covers for the illustrations that reflected the style and character to the books. They did not complete the revisions or translate the books as agreed to. They did not make the audiobook, they did not copyright the books, publish the books, market the books, set up the website, dashboard, ISBN number, Dunns Number, Trademark etc etc. My Project ID number is 82851 and 82868. They know who I am. I have dealt with them since 12/20/21. This was one of the worst mistakes of my life. It was very unfortunate for me that I ever landed on their website and fell victim to their sales promises that were never kept. I reported them to the Better Business Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, NYS Attorney General's Office, Consumer Affairs many scam alerts. They ignore all my complaints.They list a closed post office address on their website so they can not be sued. They are professional scammers but they don't want to admit it. They may complete some work for some people; however, for my project, they sold me more than they were able to do. They did not work on many of my projects at all. They wrote down most of what they promised; however, at times, they didnt even put it on letterhead and did not send it as a contract that both parties signed. They signed a binding contract agreement indicating they would voluntarily refund all the charges if the project were not completed by the due date, yet they did not do so. They scammed me out of $100,000 from 1/20/21 to 04/25/23. I won chargebacks from Citi Mastercard, but I will have to sue Chase Visa to get them to implement the chargebacks since they said the charge was old, yet Citi Mastercard approved older chargebacks. I am very disappointed in Chase Visa for not protecting me when Citi Mastercard did. I have to now jump through hoops to try to get my money back. This is a crying shame. They are the worst company I ever dealt with in my life. I paid them to create a nice business for me so I can work from home during my retirement. They stole my life savings from me. I was a fool to trust them. Their Better Business Bureau score is F. They use other merchant names such as Creative Company, ArtNArtStudio.com ArtNArtIllustrations. None of these companies or Sketch Profs has paid me back or completed any of my projects.
