Warning about David Caputo

The reason I have created this site is to warn any potential customers about the unscrupulous and incompetent business practices of David Caputo owner of Positronic Design located in Holyoke Massachusetts.

My start-up business was destroyed by David Caputo during two years that Positronic Design stretched out the development of my web site. During this time I payed David Caputo over $16,000. to build an e-commerce web site that he never completed. Although David Caputo claimed he was building a site for me at a discount, “full service graphic design” certainly was expensive for me. When I brought Positronic Design’s code to another web site development company to complete, I learned that what Positronic Design had created was so poorly written that the site could never be completed. After having paid this money I was told by several web developers that it would be far cheaper to rebuild the site from scratch rather than attempt to repair and complete the shoddy web site created by Positronic Design.

Attempting to recover the money I had paid for the unfinished site, David Caputo told me that refunding the cost of the site would, “ruin him.” When I attempted to seek mediation regarding a refund for the site David Caputo refused to come to the table. When attempted to seek legal remedy to recover the money for the site I learned that David Caputo was already involved in numerous other lawsuits. So much so that I had a hard time finding an attorney to represent me in Western Massachusetts without creating a conflict of interest, as all attorneys I contacted were all already engaged defending David Caputo. Finally I reported David Caputo at Positronic Design to the Better Business Bureau and his response to the complaint was, “I categorically deny any wrongdoing, so sue me.”

Due to David Caputo’s malicious incompetence I received no income from the site and and I was forced to sell my home in Amherst, Massachusetts. It will take me eight years to pay back the money I borrowed to pay for this failed web site project giving me a long time to think about how I was ripped off by David Caputo at Positronic Design and his “full service graphic design” company.

My recommendation is: Do not do business with David Caputo.
