    Harry Oakes's search dogs failed to find a cat that was less than 50 feet away!
    And he wouldn't return my money afterwards.

  2. Kite had completed a contract which states "There's no guarantee of success and no refunds. He then tried to extort a REFUND Stating he would post a bad review if I "Didn't refund him his money". I filed a police report with Portland Police on this jerk. He also informed me before we even started the search that he had searched his neighbors property before the search. yet after the search he claims he found his cat in the neighbors home ???? very questionable individual who doesn't honor a signed contract.

  4. When I lost access to my phone in early January of this year after visiting an unfamiliar website that showed up as an advertising on my screen, I was horrified and scared. My email account had been compromised, and it contains a lot of personal information, including bank passcodes and crypto wallet recovery passphrase, so I was really concerned. Thanks to Kingston's technology, I was able to regain access after talking with him, sharing my experience, and providing him with the information he required for a quick fix in a matter of hours. I have to admit that after our first session, I was skeptical of this process because I couldn't access my email and a close friend of mine had been defrauded of $850,000.
    Kingston, though, insisted on telling me that  I would soon be able to retrieve it, and eventually I gained access. I wish to never pass through the same experience again but if it does happen, I will not delay to use his service again. His personal contact is kingston@cyber-wizard.com
