Bizdify Avis 

Formal Complaint Regarding Unauthorised Invoice and Review Manipulationing this review on behalf of a…
I’m leaving this review on behalf of a client I’m working with who has been severely impacted by Bizdify’s practices.

Bizdify contacted my client, offering to remove negative Google reviews. What sounded like a simple service quickly turned into something far more concerning. Without proper consent or transparency, my client was invoiced for over AUD $2,600 for “review removals” and was later told they had somehow signed up for a lifetime membership — something they never agreed to or even recalled authorizing.

When my client questioned the charges and refused to pay, Bizdify warned that their online reputation could be ruined. Not long after, suspicious negative reviews began appearing on their Google profile, closely resembling the threats made. An official invoice was even issued demanding thousands of dollars (which I have seen), clearly tying this behavior to Bizdify.

This is not how a legitimate or ethical business operates. Pressuring small businesses into paying thousands of dollars under the threat of reputational harm is, in my view, predatory and manipulative.

I strongly caution any business owner approached by Bizdify: do your research and proceed with extreme care. There are trustworthy ways to build and protect your reputation — this is not one of them.

PUBLIC NOTICE: Warning Regarding Bizdify
This letter serves as a formal public disclosure regarding the fraudulent business practices of Bizdify, to warn other businesses against engaging with their services.
1. Incident Overview and Financial Breach
• The Offer: Bizdify approached my company ,guaranteeing the permanent removal of negative reviews from our Google Business profile for a fee of $975.50.
• The Service Failure: Bizdify issued an invoice, and the negative review was temporarily removed. I paid the invoice in full on 18/04/2026. Within one week of payment, the negative review reappeared.
• Refusal of Refund: When confronted, Bizdify claimed Google reinstated the review and stated Bizdify could not reverse it. Bizdify has since refused to refund my money for selling an unauthorized and ineffective service.
2. Legal Escalation and Evasion
• Authority Reports: We have formally reported Bizdify to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC -0148188 dated 17/06/2025) and the Australian Cyber Security Centre (Cyber Police CIRS-20260616-72).
• VCAT Civil Suit: I have commenced legal proceedings against Bizdify at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) under case number C4190/2026.
• Evasion of Service: Bizdify has deliberately withheld their actual office address, actively obstructing the legal processing and serving of VCAT petition documents.
3. Retaliation and Broken Agreements
• Review Retaliation: In response to my dispute, Bizdify retaliated by leaving a malicious one-star review on our Google account, falsely claiming I threatened them.
• Breach of Settlement: Bizdify later proposed a settlement: they would refund the money if I removed my negative review from Bizdify's profile.
• Partial Payment: They refunded $300.00 deposit on 15/07/2026. I fulfilled my end by removing my review. Bizdify has since refused to pay the remaining $675.50, directly breaching their promise.

I am publishing this statement to ensure transparency and protect the Australian business community from predatory and deceptive B2B practices.

Bizdify removed a google review I had been trying to remove for over a year. They were honest and straightforward with their advice and had the review removed in 2 days. I was sceptical after the reviews here but if your unsure check out that I have all 5 stars now at Echuca xpert doors.

Paid Chris Strandin (real name??) with Bizdify to remove a bad review someone who was not even a client and never provided service. This was back in January 2024..... never heard from him again and Bizdify never did a thing.

Scammer and I was stupid enough to fall for their BS

Received a negative review on my business from someone I've never spoken to, apparently for not having a website and then hey presto I get an email from these... coincidence? I think not.
