How I wish I was able to attach proof. Aion marketing MUST BE EXPOSED FOR THE HORRIBLE SERVICE THEY PROVIDE and their bullying tactics

If I could I would give 0 stars. I received funding from GEP for the marketing of my online store. Hello Peter you need to improve and allow us to post proof of the bad service. People need to know and see the kind of service Joshue Menezes the founder and CEO of Aion marketing provides. He shouldn't be allowed to continue to do business. In June I found Aion Marketing on Google. I explained to Joshue that I will be funded by GEP, a Gauteng government entity and that it is the expectation that he will have to use his money and that the government only pays after work has been done. He expressed his reservations about this. I went to GEP and explained that my chosen service provider who had never worked with government before wasn't comfortable with how they worked. At this stage I was asked to look for another service provider but I wanted to give Aion a small business just like me a chance. How I wish I had listened to GEP. At the insistence of GEP it was agreed that Joshue will have to give me ALL graphics that will be used for the ad campaigns for me to approve, once I had approved the graphics payment will be made. Joshue was ok with this and signed an agreement accepting this. On 2 October GEP gave the go ahead meaning Aion now needed to provide the graphics so that we can continue. Joshue refuses though had signed an agreement. He told me that people are ****mers and that he doesn't want to be ****med. I should have known that he would end up being the ****mer. I told GEP and the funds were released because they too were asking for something that was not part of the agreement. All this time Joshue kept saying he will only start working once the fund had been paid into his business account, he didn't care that with everyday that passed I was loosing potential revenue. On 28 October GEP deposited the funds into the bank account of Aion Marketing. Though Joshue had previously said he will start working when payment had been ade he began lying to me telling me that he had done work when he hadn't. He told me that he had worked on my website when he hadn't. Don't even think that Joshue cared that I could see that he was lying, lying doesn't bother him. It comes naturally. Honestly I should've known when he refused to stick to a signed agreement. Out of frustration I left a 1 star review on Good on the 30th of October 2025. This seemed to do the trick because for the first time Joshue actually started working he even worked on. Saturday, little did I know that he was doing all this to manipulate me into removing the review. He begged and said since he is a small business this type of review would kill his business. Naively I agreed and removed the review. Though he had begun to work I constantly had to check his work, it was of such poor quality that he would miss things like misspelling the name of my brand on the banner of the online store. I would find that there were links that were not working. Never once did Joshue pick up any of his poor service. Because he is so comfortable with lying he told me that resolving issues with my products on Google Merchants would take months. At this point I had made peace with checking his work that I contacted google support and what Joshue said would take months I was able to resolve in a day. Do you think this bothered him? Nope he thanked me for resolving the issue. I reminded him that he had said it will take months but he didn't care. We left it at that. At my insistence the ads started running. Mind you GEP has paid him to do this, right before the ads started running I locked myself out of Facebook business. I knew that this meant that the ads running on the new page Joshue had created were not connected to my catalogue on Shopify so I kept trying to reach Meta support but they are so hard to access. On 11 November 2025 I received a notification from Google ads that they had stopped running my ads due to none payment. From the money allocated by GEP the budget for Google ads was R 7 000 and for Facebook was R 5 000 which was paid together with the money Aion charges for the management of both google and Meta ads but ads were being stopped because of none payment. I brought this to his attention and he promised that it will not happen again. Later I noticed that Joshue had set the budget for ad spend too low. In hind sight he did this because he no longer had money to o run the ads, I'm talking about a week after GEP directly deposited R 35 000 minus R 11 000 that I asked him to deposit into my account. I did this because I was not happy with his service and didn't want fr any money to be left with him once the month of November ended. Joshue was aware that I had no intention of continuing with him past November because of his poor service. On the 12th of November I saw the images that he was using we so bad. The graphics he had charged me R 3000 for was so mediocre I wanted to cry. Anyone knows how important good graphics are when running ads. I once again brought this to his attention. This is the person who is supposed to be the expert. I was managing a person that had been paid for the management of my ads. In this conversation he told me about the problem with the Facebook catalogue. I had known that the ads he was running was not connected to the catalogue on Shopify because I had locked myself out. He should have known about this, it is like he only learned as he went along how to run ads. The last straw was when I noticed that Facebook had stopped the ads once again because of none payment. Joshue had promised that this will never happen again. I then told him that I didn't want to work with him anymore and that I wanted a refund. Knowing that I was managing him, knowing that he had been providing terrible service and had brought me close to tears a few times he refused to give me the refund. Not only that but he demanded that I remove the review I had made. I now noticed that Joshue bullies people who leave honest reviews about his service so that a new person wouldn't know just how klbad working with him is. I told him that I will not remove it, in fact I ma now leaving another one on this platform. I will not be bul****. Aion and Joshue Menezes MUST BE EXPOSED. Joshue is a ****, and only works when he is pushed. Not only that but he believes that people are supposed to accept his poor service. He is entitled yet doesn't want to put in the work required to grow a business. I wish I had never met him. I have now taken the issue to CGSO. Joshue is fully aware that with everyday that passes I am loosing money with the ads not running. He doesn't care. As far as he is concerned I must keep accepting his useless service or else he will refuse to refund me, try to bully me to remove ads with proof proof of his mediocrity. DO NOT WORK WITH JOSHUE UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING YO WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO THINKS GIVING BAD SERVICE IS NOT A BIGGIE AND THAT PEOPLE MUST ACCEPT HIS USELESS SERVICE.
