Hemant Varshney's Review Sourced from Google
I highly reccomend that you stay away from this business. After numerous phone emails I finally decided to hop on a call with this company. They didn't know what they were soliciting me for. After that the sales rep sent me a very derogatory email in hindi. Please see attached. Basically cursing at me. I am not sure how these people are in business. Stay away.

We worked with Versa for a few months to get out site redesigned. They were extremely professional in meeting all of our wants and needs for the site. Even when we were behind on providing files or information, we were never rushed and they accommodated our schedule changes. I am extremely happy with the service Versa provided us with and cannot recommend them enough to anyone looking to create or redesign their site!

Marta Barron's Review Sourced from Google
I am an employee who cannot log into my account. The operator refused to help me, said I need to contact my manager(I don't know who that is) or respond to the email I got. I responded 3 days ago and no response. There is no name on that email and the number I tried calling gets disconnected. The operator said "I don't know what else to tell me, good luck" AND LITERALLY HUNG UP ON ME!!!!!! THAT IS NO WAY TO TREAT AN EMPLOYEE OR CUSTOMER

They offered me online work. I have done it perfectly and they loved my work. When I asked for my payment they blocked my account. Two names about whom I know are Gideon Williams and Nelson bright. They are all scammers. Don't ever trust on this company.

They placed an Ad on Craigslist recruiting people to do voice data collection for one of their products that uses siri. They Advertised they will pay $60. Every time you ask them about the money, They start trying to use a secret they think they know about you to avoid paying. They sent me about 8 forms to fill out for the $60 including the I-9 form and a w-2 form for $60. I was scheduled to be there at 9am for the study and was on time. They said 12 to 15 business days for $60. I filled papers and sent them. As I was approaching the building something was like this company be killing people and their a front for a government agency. I ignored it cause I needed the $60. I sent the paper work Oct 29th and received an email on Nov 15 saying I need to resubmit the papers. I am suppose to be receiving the money by Nov 19. IM I suppose to wait another 12-15 business days? This company is preying on people who are low on cash and participate to get cash. These people got my ss#, is picture, and voice recording that They alter and use for something else. I want my $60. UPDATE: I did receive a gift card but to AMAZON. When I signed up they stated they pay cash either through direct deposit, cash app, or visa master gift card/ nothing about any amazon. I wanted cash, like they said they would pay.
