Hi,

I came across the complaints and thought i better clear some things up,
I worked for DemonicArts several months back & i can tell you that the company has no intention of ripping anybody off!
The company is/was only a a four staffed company and was pretty small with big plans!
D/Arts has been going for 4 years and Bell (Director) has battled through a hell of alot of problems until a one came up with paypal which left the staff of DemonicArts out of work & struggling.
The last i heard was that they were persuing the problem through court as paypal limited their accounts.

The paypal problem - D/arts used paypal for the payments, i think the only reason they didn't process card payments was because the company could not intergrate certain software into their site. I remember testing out intergration with a virtual terminal from HSBC but it could not been done.
The reason paypal limited their account was that Paypal do regular check ups on businesses every now & then. We did provide paypal with all the documents that they required within the 1st week. Unfortunately paypal didn't do quite as they said they would do x50 over the phone (this is 2 months messing around without any income, wages or withdrawls). My guess is this kinda caused the problems. Instead they contacted D/arts via email stating that they would not have their account back. This is were Bell told us (the staff) that he is going to have to let us go until further notice. I am in contact with Bell still & do know that he is working hard full time on two jobs to sort things out. I did enjoy working for DemonicArts. Bell is a goldhearted guy - im 100% sure that eventually he will sort out his company & this mess.

The phone number for the landline is correct, its Bell's office phone although i know nobody is in the office
The mobile number, is not Bell's it belongs to another ex staff member - not sure how that came about :-/

By all means, IM/PM me & i'll do what i can.
I'll keep you updated with the outcome & sorry for the run around
