I also was a victim of Adzact
On December 20, 2007 Scott Marshal had found out that I was looking for a home-based business. He wanted to set me up with DOBA who had over 1 million products available.
Scott asked me if I knew that their website designer provided IT support for The Cancer Genome Atlas. This was great finely a solid company.
Every one I talked to at Adzact asked me if I knew that there IT department provided Support for The Cancer Genome Atlas.
All the e-mail I received from Scott Morris (Adzact’s website designer) had Did you know? We provide IT support for The Cancer Genome Atlas, the largest scientific project in history attached to it. Who would've thought that anybody who provided IT support for cancer Genôme Atlas was anything but perfect? They used the cancer Genome Atlas to gain my confidence and trust. As long as they made Adzact look this big who wouldn’t trust them?
So I purchased a one million product web site from them; and traffic of five thousand visitors to my website.
Then the push was on to sell me TV commercials; and when I told Adzact that after I had seen what the website looked like and it was good enough to do commercials I would order some.
They took money out of my credit card before I even seen the web site. After the traffic of five thousand visitors and no sales or comments; inspection of my site showed that the shopping cart didn't work.
I found that someone trying to buy an item (mark with quotation or inches") Would get locked out. Like a 9" level, 20" gold chain, 14.5"laptop, 21" monitor, etc.
In other words the shopping cart didn’t work; on thousand of items. The web site was a disaster and commercials were out of the question. I ask Scott Morris, Nick Long and David Morris not to produce them (Scott's department was in charge of commercials ). I have a website that they will not fix. TV commercials that I did not want!
I never received a contract or a receipt for any transaction they made and when I asked Scott for proof that these commercials existed; I was informed that I had no contract with him.
I have tried for 18 months to have Adzact refund the money they took for commercials.
let's make one thing clear Scott Morris chose to bring The Cancer Genome Atlas
into this mess long before I told him their lawyers will have a field day with him.
He didn't think very much of their good name.
Scott left out that I never asked him for any money and I didn't take the money
he offered me! Gerald
Scott Morris said that my problem is not with him he is only a subcontractor. But he advertised on ADZACT'S web site as:You can contact our IT department directly at! He neglected to tell me that.
This should have said You can contact our IT subcontractor at!
Scott said If Adzact used my status on one of the many scientific research projects I work on as a marketing tool, it was without my knowledge or consent.
All of Scott Morris's emails in this period had; Did you know? We provide IT support for The Cancer Genome Atlas, the largest scientific project in history.
David Morris said Gerald picked this up from the signature line of Scott's e-mail's.
All of Scott emails during this period had his signature line; they went to the people he corresponded with in the office. When you see something enough this is what most people call power of suggestion; and they used it.
Scott Morris said that he left in the middle of the project; his e-mail's to me where from last week in Dec. of 2007 to middle
of March 2008. That's close to 90 days. Every time I called after that David Morris would tell me that Scott was working to get my site ready for the
Christmas season. The Christmas season came and went and so didn't David Morris.
Scott also advertised on Adzact's Products

Ron Beneduce said:
Scott made and aired all their commercials through a company he dealt with.
Scott led me to believe that he was directly connected to both ADZACT and The Cancer Genome Atlas.
Gerald
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Gerald's long series of responses seem to be speculation, hearsay, and information that is simply not relevant. I don't see any need to respond at this point, although I invite Gerald to use the "attach photos" option below to attach any documents, contracts, receipts, etc to substantiate his claims.
This is Scott Morris. I wanted to clarify a couple things:
1) On Nov 30, 2009, Gerald Dunning wrote:
"My next step is to the lawyers of the cancer genome atlas for you using them for advertisement
Having Ron Beneduce [this owner of Adzact] return my money would be to your best interest."
This makes his intentions clear: He believes Adzact owes him money, and he is trying to force me to help him recover it by threatening to levy claims that harm my reputation. I have contacted the Phoenix Police Department Document Crimes Unit to file an attempted extortion report.
2) If Adzact used my status on one of the many scientific research projects I work on as a marketing tool, it was without my knowledge or consent. I am no longer conducting business with Adzact, so I do not believe any additional resolution is necessary at this point.
3) I stopped doing work for Adzact in the middle of this project because Adzact did not pay my invoices on time. It is ultimately Adzact's responsibility to pay their subcontractors and they are responsible if they don't.
4) Adzact made this agreement with Gerald, and I was simply subcontracted to do web design. My total compensation from Adzact was ~$300 for this particular project. I was unaware that Adzact had charged him the nearly $15, 000 he claims to have paid.
I welcome anyone to contact me with questions on my personal cell phone at [protected], and invite Mr Dunning to provide the same so any interested party can explore this for themselves.
