Below is correspondence from SEO Specialist Elwyn Dhliwayo with promises of seo results in under 24 hrs in some cases. After money was paid, a week had gone by and NO SEO work had been done by SEO Specialist Elwyn Dhliwayo and i had realised that i had been conned. Elwyn Dhliwayo had done NOTHING in 1 week and i realised that all Elwyn Dhliwayo gave me was empty promises.
I requested my money back from Seo Specialist Elwyn Dhliwayo and to date have received nothing. I started this Blog in the hope that other people will not be Conned by Elwyn Dhliwayo. If you have also been conned by SEO Specialist Elwyn Dhliwayo, send me your story and i will post it on this blog

HI Elwyn
I am NOT judging, I am seeing that
you are dragging this along. If my best interest was at heart, you would have
told me upfront that you will be needing more information on the stuff you
copied and pasted from my existing site.
Why does it take a week to say, I
need more info on this, especially since it comes from my website
Pls return my money, I don’t want
issues.

Hi
Dheran
I
apologize for any inconveniences.
I
have your best interests at heart and want to deliver the best possible results
for your Business.
Will
you let me finish the work I am doing for you before you can judge. SEO will
take between 1 to 6 Months for great results (as stated in my e-mail below).
It
will not help driving traffic to a site, where they will not convert into a
sale. By developing your website right before doing any PPC or SEO work, I
prepare it to convert the traffic it will receive.
However,
if you feel it is taking longer then I can revoke the FREE websites redesign
(which I had already started on) and work with your current websites.
Let
me know your thoughts
Regards
Elwyn

Elwyn, payment was made on the 2nd
of July. On the 3rd I sent you the keywords you requested. 7 days
later all you have for me is what you copied and pasted from my own site?
You could have requested this info
7days ago. I don’t like the way you are delaying this, why did it take 7 days
for you to realise that we need dedicated pages?
This was your email to me.
. SEO for the 2 websites (To Rank each site for 5
Keywords of your Choice)
2. Will migrate the 2 sites into Wordpress, so we can
implement a Blog for Content Creation Purposes.
3. 2 Blog Posts each Month
4. Social Media Set-up
5. A PPC Campaign worth R800.00 for the first Month to
generate instant Business for you.
I have attached 3 Case studies for 3 of my Clients that I
delivered great results for. I also included my Portfolio of my Top Clients.
The total turnaround time will be between 1 – 6 Months
for great Results. However I have delivered great results under 24 hrs,
sometimes within a week e.t.c, depending on the Competitiveness of the
Keywords. [see attached case studies]
I expected to see something
after 7days especially since you were able to deliver results after a week
I am now very sceptical about your
work and promises, perhaps you should return my money and I will go with a
bigger company
Thank you

Hi Dheran
- If you decide to cancel after a
few Months, the website will belong to you [no payment will be required
from you]. If you want me to restore the old site, I will gladly do so.
- I will not charge you for
website updates, it will be part of the R1500 / Month.
- Wordpress is a Content
management System that makes it easy to manage content on your website.
- I will manage and populate the
Blogs and Social media with the content I create and some that you will
provide.
- We can arrange training, so I
can show you how to manage the site afterwards.
I have attached the
Invoice to this e-mail, if you agree on the above, you can go ahead and make
the Payment for July, so we can start.
If you have any other
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks and Regards
Elwyn

Hi Elwyn
If after a few months I decide that this isn’t
generating enough business, would my site be restored to the way it is right
now?
If I need to add more content to my site, do I need
to pay additional fees or will this be done on the R1500/month?
What is word press?
Will you maintain and populate these blogs and
social media sites?
Will I have access to adding more content to my site
myself?
Thank you
