Aion marketing IS A ****. Joshue Menezes is a bully who believes he is entitled to payment even when he hasn't delivered anything.

If you want your business to grow DO NOT work with Aion marketing. Joshue Menezes is a ***** and a ****mer. He lies, never does any work but will still want to take your money knowing full well that he failed you as a client. I received funding from GEP. At the beginning when I first met with Joshue Menezes who is the owner and founder I explained to him that in order for the funds to be released directly into his bank account he needs to provide ALL graphics not some for me to give the ok to. He agreed and signed a document that said ALL graphics not some will be provided before payment is made by GEP. when he was supposed to send graphics for my approval he then starts with his stories on how people have been ****med before, his not honoring a signed agreement should have been my first red flag. He had the opportunity to say this right at the beginning, I would have had to walk away because GEP is very clear about this. They will not pay unless the graphics have been provided. He initially agreed just to trap me. He is also very charming and believable, I created the graphics myself and the fund were paid into the Aion account as agreed. Even when the funds had been paid he would lie to say that he had started work when he hadn't. For instance part of the agreement was that he will do work on my online store front. Knowing fully that I would see if there were any changes he would say he has done work when he hadn't. Out of frustrating I wrote a one star Google review. This is the only time I've seen Joshue trying to do actual work that he had already been paid for. In a meeting he asked me to please remove the Google review because he is a starter up and negative reviews would kill the business. This should have been my second red flag. I'm a small business myself so I agreed. He then started running ads on behalf of my business. There were issues with the products on Google merchant and Joshue told me it would take months to resolve those issues. I was able to resolve the issues with the help of Google support in less than an hour, another one if his lies. I noticed that the results were too low for the budget I had given him. Going into Google ads I got a shock of my life when I found that the ad had been paused due to none payment. GEP had paid R 7 000 for google and R 5 000 for Facebook. I raised this with him. I also raised the issue with the quality of the graphics he was using for ads. on Friday 14 Nov 2025 I received notification that the Facebook ads had been paused as well because of none payment. This was the last straw for me. I'm trying to grow a business. I'm not playing games. I then told Joshue that I want him to stop and that I want a refund, I also left another Google review with attachments as proof of my journey with Aion. He told me that unless I remove the review and stop making more he would not refund me. He says that I'm making false accusations but will not post proof to support what he says. He said he wanted to resolve this issue amicably. This means him keeping the R 3 000 he charged me for the few poor quality graphics he provided though our signed agreement said ALL graphics, he also wants to keep the R 5 000 and R 4 000 monthly management for Google and Meta respectively. Even though there is a clear quotation where he states what monthly management meant he now says the work on the store was management. When I asked if he now denied that he said this is a monthly management fee he didn't reply. I would not have cancelled with Aion had he kept his side of the deal. Knowing this he refuses to give a refund. I'm tired I can't go on managing a person for him to provide a service he was already paid for. Joshue is lazy but believes he should charge people for his laziness. I just discovered that the shortcuts to my social media platforms that he created lead to demo pages I've never seen. When you own a online store trust is EVERYTHING. it is no wonder I haven't made any sales. Sad thing is I am the one who noticed though Joshue was the one paid to notice and fix these things. Unfortunately on Hello Peter I'm unable to attach all screenshots of our conversations and the documents sent to GEP but if you want to see them they are on Google reviews. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT WORK WITH JOSHUE MENEZES AND AION MARKETING. I want a full refund.
