Marc Fantich, Fantich Media Group
Marc Fantich from the Fantich Media Group breached his web agreement with our website design company. So instead of hiring an attorney or passing it over to collections I chose to simply talk about it on my blog, facebook, twitter, and youtube.
I sent out a blast email to some of Marc Fantich’s closest friends so of course it made me look like the bad guy. But who wouldn’t side with their personal friend Marc Fantich in McAllen? Marc did a great job though of sending me the feedback from his friends, threatened to have someone come choke me, and even brought my children into the matter whom are only 3 and 2 years old.. which I have the emails again to back up.
I have been accused of handling this unprofessionally and can understand your points.. some people agree with how I am handling it seeing how you can go to www.fantichmedia.com and see that he is using the website design that Chakery Design provided him. He agreed to a cost.. and if I was late on finishing the project I offered a $250 discount for the lateness on my behalf. He seems to like the site and is using it.
At any rate here are some of the responses from some of Marc Fantich’s closest friends in the McAllen, TX area who seem to agree with Marc’s position that stealing files and using them without paying for them is simply ok.
This email is from Marc Fantich to me.
“Yikes! No you didn’t? Did you…. Did you…… Holy God. You thought I was ruthless? Better hide Bitch. Manasse gonna rip you to threads!”
This email is from Chris Vonwald who seems to work for The Monitor in McAllen. I hope he doesn’t kiss his mother with that mouth..

Marc,
Just got a crazy e-mail from some idiot about your company. Tell him hes an ass for putting that out.

This short message from Pete Salas from Entravision
well this guy just made an enemy for life…..
Note to Pete: When you have friends like Marc Fantich… Who needs an Enemy..
This next email is from James Judkins and he gave his assement of the situation but again a friend of the Fantich Media Group.
” I hesitate to do anything but delete this message, but….
Typically in a situation like this, both people are at least 75% wrong.
And, the first person to start talking, usually tells the biggest lies.
If I was in the market for new web designers, and in fact I am, after receiving this from Mr. Chakery — and see that he has disclosed to the public personal and private emails — then I would hesitate to do business with that company.
Note To James: James.. when I sent out this message I wasn’t trying to earn any of Marc Fantich’s friends website design business. If you are in the market for a website please by all means contact Marc Fantich he will farm it out to someone like me but just not as good. It might look good it just won’t bring in any traffic. Good luck with that sir.
This email comes from Connie Bearden out of La Feria, TX to Marc
“Well! That put an interesting end to a very long week!
Does the man realize what he just did?! Blast email? That is so RGV!!! lol… This is a war that he will NEVER qualify to participate in — let alone win! Looks to me like his business just got a better/faster rating (to the negative side) than if dealing with BBB or D/B!
Take a breath… enjoy your weekend… he will be trying to recoup from this stupidity for a while~with little or no success!”
Connie
Note To Connie: Connie, I enjoyed your message as I am sure Marc did as well. I took a very deep breath, enjoyed my weekend and worked a little because that’s just what I do.
This next email came from Patti Sunday and it was a direct reply to everyone. Marc fabricated this one a little or I will never know. he told me that Patti Sunday claims to pick up the clients that I have lost. But I don’t see any record of that nor would it bother me as clients do change providers from time to time. Marc would know that first hand. But here goes Patti Sunday’s Message.
I see a lot of pain here. I do not even want to read it. Look, times are challenging. We are in a recession. McAllen folks are really talented- and in many different ways. We need to help each other..lift each other up. Turn the other cheek and I guess find a constructive outlet for our frustrations.. or just be able to say
I suck.. I need a time out..
Just the physics of the wasted energy and creativity in whatever is going on here…
Maybe this is your type of therapy to vent…
Looks like a potential power struggle to me-
can we do a take #2 on this whole thing
or just crash this file …??Patti
Note To Patti: You hit the nail on the head! This is my way to vent. That is all I am doing here. I have tweeted about, facebooked about, youtubed, and will continue to blog about it. Could I take down the files? Of course! Will I? Ask yourself this question. Would Marc?
Well as I bring this post to a close here are some of my latest games for the weekend…. Do this… Go to www.google.com and do a search for “Fantich Media Group” on page 2 or 3 you will see a cool youtube video explaining in person what this is all about. You can also view the video by clicking here. It is all about Fantich Media Breaches Web Agreement.
