WARNING: Forget Solen Technologies

A

Ari Silversteinn

A close friend of mine offered this group who writes freeware upon request
a rather nice, profitable business deal. His company develops software of
all sorts but he was attempting to assist a young startup. At first, "Tim"
the so-called president of Solen Technologies, lied about his age. When
pressed, he admitted to being a minor. At this point, he refused to speak
even on a collect call or via Skype "because his employer would not allow
that." "Tim" is not employed, he later admitted.

Doing the right and legal thing, he told "Tim" (not his real name), that he
would need to discuss this arrangement with his parents. "Tim" did not
respond for several days then after, originally accepting the lucrative
assignment, he sends and email and completely backs out of the deal. His
"employees" don't have time, "Tim" says.

Solen Technologies is a scam and not a very good one at that. If these are
really kids, then this post will teach them a serious business lesson. You
are only as good as your word and liars get caught in their lies.

I couldnt find anything on Solen Technologies, so I assume they arent
advertising anything. You say this company writes freeware upon request.
Have they ever written anything? If so, what have they written? Although you
dont see it often, there are minors who are president's of their own
companies. I also assume that since your friend continued to press the issue
even after becoming aware they were minors (Having to discuss the
arrangement with thier parents) that he is aware of this as well. Why would
your friend propose a profitable business deal to a company that writes
FREEware rather than a legitimate software company?

Yes, they have written a few very small apps, see website. As to the last
question, that was how he got started and wished to reward honest effort.

It resolves fine over here. also try glorified.bizhat.com, resolves the
same thing.
Thanks, that worked. One thing, a couple of kids did this? Bought the
Domain, developed the site and a couple of small freeware app? I think they
might be on thier way if you ask me.

hey i found this forum by looking solentech. i am the creator of
solentech. yes i am a minor and i do some free programs if anyone wants
to request them. but the reason this person is upset with my service
because he wanted be to become a "partner" with him making everything
for him. he wanted me to forget solen and make everything for him. it
was a roughly set up business deal over the internet and phone across
country. after he got too complicated i did not want to invest into
this risky business deal so i baled, obviously he got mad. i am not
spam i do honest work, i have my programs to prove. so thanks many of
you for you positive view of my service.
thanks
