Becareful when trying to deal with a person name Lantis on getafreelancer.com and other freelance websites.
He took my money and then he submitted a crappy design to me, not even close to the sample of designs he had presented me at first! he scammed me.
And now it's almost impossible to get a hold of Lantis, I have messeged Lantis several times and they failed to respond to me, it looks like they are ignoring all my messages.
Before I paid Lantis I asked.. what if I don't like the design that they provide me with?, Lantis said "Simple. I just need to recreate another one...and another...until you are satisfied :) "
Obviously it's a lie, Lantis is ignoring me now.
I will go ahead now and file for a dispute/chargeback with my credit card company.
Don't do any business with Lantis Designs, they will take your money and run away!
Below you will find the proof conversation history between me and Lantis:

Before I paid you, you said "Simple. I just need to recreate another one...and another...until you are satisfied :) "
I advised you that im not satisfied with the card you designed, the card you designed me doesn't compare to the samples of work you showed me, so it makes me think that possibly you may have used samples of work of other designers instead.
I emailed you several times and its so hard to get a hold of you, until now you have not replied.
if you don't reply and provide me with a decent design that im looking for then I will have no choice but to write a review on here and publiccomplaints.org and I will also have no choice but to withdraw the money I sent you as I do need to pay someone else this money to design me the card.
and out of the stationary.zip file I sent you, the most I like are:

I'm startin to get worried again!
I don't know if I was scammed or not, I have not heard anything from you, you should at least contact me and let me know what's going on so I don't assume that I got scammed.
If I don't hear back from you today, I will have no choice but to chargeback the payment I sent you and post my review on getafreelancer and publiccomplaints.org about my experience with you, please understand why im saying this, if you were in my position you would feel the same when someone just takes the money and doesn't answer.

The links and images looks good on my end. No problem at all. Maybe because your internet connection was slow. You can try looking at my portfolio later :)
