Heather McKee

Do Not Do Business With HeatherMcKee.com or MEC Creative LLC in San Diego

In March/April of 2020, I was searching for a new business to purchase. After searching on bizbuysell.com I found an ad for the same as a complete commerce business which was to be a turnkey website. This was supposed to be a fitness retail website and included an affiliate account to Nike among others. I spoke with Heather McKee on the phone and she represented herself as the owner of the website for sale as a principal of MEC Creative and MEC Complete, all based out of San Diego, California.

Did You Know?

 MEC Creative and MEC Complete are related companies that are involved in web design and online business. MEC creative is a California Limited Liability company, founded in 2017 and MEC is a website of web designs and marketing.

After a brief conversation (red flag 1) where Heather McKee was happy to sell me the site that I was told was turnkey, but not given the domain name (red flag 2) for a total amount of $7,000 which required a down payment of $3,000 and then $99 per month until paid off. However, I was required to use their hosting through MEC Complete Managed Hosting for one year.

After several days of waiting I was provided a “Bill of Sale” that looked like it was written that day (red flag # 3) and I did grow a little concern but since I had spoken to Heather a couple of times and I had reviewed her Mom Blog on HeatherMcKee.com, I figured that it was not a scam and paid the $3,000.

Now that she had my funds, Heather McKee finally gave me the domain name to the site. I was disappointed to find out that the site looked like nothing more than a Woo Commerce template that had a total of 6 items! This was supposed to be a turnkey business yet there was no products, no branding, no logo, no supporting pages. A home page with 6 products that probably took 1 hr to create was definitely not worth the money I agreed to.

Unfortunately during this time I was laid off from my home and had an extended family member contract Covid-19 and pass away. This required me to travel to help handle the affairs of the deceased. At this point, nothing had been done for me to take possession of the site. The site was never put in my name, I was never given access to it and really there was nothing to do.

Upon my return home I contacted Heather McKee and explained to her that I no longer had the financial wherewithal due to my losing my job and do the COVID 19 pandemic and ensuing. Considering that no work had been done, I had never taken possession and that we were living through an unprecedented national crisis in which my family was already grieving a death that Heather McKee and MEC Complete and MEC Creative would understand that the right thing to do would be to cancel the purchase agreement. Understanding that everyone’s time is valuable I offered to have her keep $500 which would have calculated out to more than $75/hr.

I thought it would be simple as I had hoped during this time all of us would act with compassion and refund the money. Not Heather. Heather told me I had to still proceed with the contract. I explained that I cannot financially do this and even more important than the funds she had could be helpful during a time when I am supporting a family of 6 on unemployment.

I did not receive a reply. I sent another message, again asking to rescind, asking for a refund, reminding her of my financial situation and this time I offered for her to keep $1000 so that I could recoup the $2,000 and help pay my mortgage.

I did not even receive a reply.

I finally asked a third time for her to rescind the contract, refund the money, and reminded her of my financial plight and gave her the deadline of July 17, 2020. As of today, I have not received a reply. I will be filing a small claims case which I hope to at least win a judgment for my funds back but the fact that this person won’t show a sliver of compassion for another person who is struggling to provide for his family which she sells these cheap sites on business broker websites for $7,000 and runs a blog that shows off her good fortune on HeatherMckee.com is disgusting.

If you come across Heather Mckee, Heather Mckee.com, MEC Complete or MEC Creative DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. THEY PUT THEIR OWN GREED AHEAD OF MY FAMILy’s NEED. Do business with good people. I thought she would have been one but I have been proven wrong as she is choosing her own profit over my attempt to provide for my family. I have to wonder what their financial situation must be if they would knowingly let someone suffer while they hold $3000 for a website I NEVER TOOK POSSESSION OF.

Ask yourself what kind of person would keep an amount that means everything to someone else just because they want to pretend they are rich? You would hope that during a time when we all need to be better to each other Heather McKee is content with knowing my family suffers. Sickening.

I pray that this complaint will be found by others who might do business with heather McKee and stop them from having to deal

  1. I have a court date with Heather who also stole $5,200 from me. Anyone who is interested in testifying as a covictim please reach out to me. Heather is a repeating offender of fraudulent activity and I have found evidence that has added up to a dollar amount where this criminal should be facing felony charges at this point. I have gathered more evidence and have also reported this to the Federal Trade Comission Government case number as well as filed a report with my state attorney general and called the police station in the area which the scammer resides currently.
    I also reported this person to social services as she has involved her 16 year old daughter in these fraudulent activities having her answer the phone while I was in a confrontation with her about the fraudulent activity and using her as a part of her fraudulent plans and excuses and her daughter is exposed and aware of these fraudulent activities as I stated she has answered her phone saying “ My mom is driving… she asked that I text you! ” and I have text messages proving so.
    The advice from the Federal Trade Comission Government was to reach out to my bank to reverse the transaction. So I also filed a report with my bank Wells Fargo as well as venmo in which the payments were made to her. I also filed a report with the Division of Consumer Affairs.

    The fraudulent transactions occurred through my bank totaling $5,400 broken down in three separate transactions and dates below:

    1.) $2,200 on 3/10/2023
    2.) $3,000 on 3/10/2023
    3.) $200 on 5/4/2023

    I thought I purchased an online Ecommerce business on March 9, 2023 through Heather Hurst-McKee from BizBuySell.com original advertisement web address was this https://www.bizbuysell.com/Start-Up-Business/Ecommerce-Fashion-store/2050841/

    The above web page can no longer be found at this point but that was the original advertisement for this purchase.

    There was a contract that was signed by both parties. The agreement in the contract was to train me to be able to successfully run this online fashion business. However, from the moment we began doing business she would always have an excuse to reschedule. After a lot of arguing I was able to have only had 2 trainings which barely showed me anything and the last one we had was on April 1,2023. She has made endless excuses such as medical emergencies such as COVID, emergency surgeries, her daughter in the hospital for diabetes and various other excuses to cancel the trainings to buy more time for herself to ultimately avoid training me despite the contract stating that training is a part of the business deal. Since the contracts states that training is a part of the agreement, I started to realize that this was becoming grounds for a breach of contract as she had failed to deliver these services I paid for, which is the online business and training me to run it. I paid her a total of $5400. $5200 down payment and my first month’s payment of $200. I asked her in a nice way to please just refund my money as she is not in a healthy stand point to adequately fulfill the services I purchased which include training and she will not refund me. I told her I was going to report her and made several attempts to have her refund me and she will not.

    Then I continued to research her after the fact and found that I was one of many victims that she has been scamming since 2019 if not longer. She has made thousands and thousands of dollars continuing this fraudulent activity for years.

    Please file a claim in court against this criminal who has been getting away with this for 5+ years and that’s only what has been reported I can only imagine how long she has been actually doing this. She deserves to rot in jail. Please stand up for yourself and file the claim. It was not difficult and worth it because we all deserve the justice and she deserves the face the consequences.

  2. I am currently dealing with heather as well. we found these reviews, spoke with her and believed her story, but we are also in the same boat and for $13,000. DO NOT trust! She has made excuse after excuse from traveling, to her kid, to her family, and living situation.

    • Hi if you need any information I am currently in a case with her she stole money from me too. Her address is 610 Oak Street, Indiana, PA 15701

      Let me know if you need anymore information.

      I am so sorry this happened to you. She is pure evil and I cannot believe she has gotten away with this for this long she should be facing felony charges with the dollar amount that she up to of stolen money.

    Heather McKee is a thief and con. It’s sad she lives off lies and deceit. She even has put her kids in a hospital death bed lying for money. She’s a very sad person and deserves very harmful lie she had spoken to come back to her not her innocent children.

    + PROS: None
    - CONS: You will lose money and time for trying pursuing your dream.

  5. Heather Dawn, Heather Mckee, Heather Hurst, or her newest name.. Stephanie Harper.
    STAY AWAY!! She is a complete con artist. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM HER!!!
    She will tell you anything to get the money.

  6. DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS THIEF. She gave me a site 5 months ago and nothing has been done. She sends me a site, and a few domains and what, nothing to show. I had sales and people buying yet I don’t get paid. I’ve spoken to her on the phone 2 times because she makes excuses up, I’ve heard every one in the book. She takes your money then makes stuff up as she goes. My friend bought a site from her and she didn’t contact him for 30 days. She has done so much damage. THIEF. SCAM ARTIST. I can’t believe a person can do this, she took our money and ran. She is the worst and calls herself an Entrepreneur. No, she steals and she blames her family that she needs to steal to keep her afloat. STAY AWAY FROM Heather Dawn, Mckee or Hurst.

  7. I also was scammed By Heather Dawn, Heather Mckee, MEC Creative. She offered to sell me an active website, provide Training and support. I got nothing but excuses as to why she was not available. She got $4000.00 of my money. She is a scammer. Do not get involved with this woman. She is a thief and should be in jail.

    • We were too! Email me at [email protected] we can add you to our lawyers list!

    • Heather Mckee, Hurst or Dawn is a complete fraud. I purchased this site 5 months ago and I have received just a site, and some random domains. My commissions don’t come through. She also had another site and my friend got it. She didn’t contact him for over 30 days and to this day, he has nothing and he is requesting a refund. She makes up every excuse in the book from deaths, to being sick. I can’t believe a person can be so cruel. DON’T DO BUSINESS WITH HER. Now, today I have to re do all the site and I feel like she makes stuff up as she goes. COMPLETE FRAUD. THIEF. All I wanted was another income and to have fun, she has completely ruined this and took my money. She has violated her contract with me! DON’T DEAL WITH THIS PERSON. FRAUD. SCAM ARTIST.

    • Hi David…would you be willing to email me so we can get in touch? I am going through the exact same thing and would love to see if a mass tort claim is feasible. I spoke to one other “client” of Heather’s and it appears there are plenty of other folks out there that are willing to escalate. If so, will you email me at [email protected]?

      • I’m emailing you now!! [email protected]

    Be careful. This person steals and will not respond to you. Complete thief. I wish I saw this before getting into business with her. Excuse after excuse. Don’t accept her BS and if someone says a pro on here, it is her making it all up. BEWARE.

    + PROS: NO PROS. SHE ISNT PROFESSIONAL.

    Our team came across HeatherMckee.com while we were looking for someone to revamp our company’s website. We liked their past works. But After reading all this, I would seriously have to reconsider. Thanks whoever posted this!

    I hope anyone that finds this review DOES NOT LISTEN! I have been a customer of Heather’s for some time now. I have referred many friends to her. She is great. Please remember that there are always 2 sides to every story and with as long as I have worked with this company, I know this is not the full story. A company should be given the benefit of the doubt, especially during crazy times like this when we know people will be scrambling for money. I purchased a website and not only was it exactly what I was told, Heather went above and beyond in supporting me and helping me through the learning process. My friends that I have referred to her feel the same way!

    + PROS: Honest, reliable,supportive

    • Why do you lie for her when she has stolen from MULTIPLE families like OURS!!!! Just because you’re her friend! If it was you in our shoes being robbed from a crook, you would not be defending a criminal. We hired a lawyer and it’s time for this crook to be taken down. Since she uses her “families sicknesses” as an excuse to rob others! Karma karma.

  11. Hi to all the readers out there! All of us that are business owners or entrepreneurs know that customers can leave any review they want, doesn’t matter if it is true or not. Although this customer is not telling the full story and painting me out to be a bad person, this is so far from the truth. I, however, know what kind of person I am and that I am fair caring and understanding. I also do not feel the need to defend myself or my business from slander and defamation on a public forum. Especially untrue slander. I do ask that if anyone is concerned when seeing this or simply would like the truth behind the review, please do not shy away. Email me or call me. I am an open book and am very happy to explain what exactly happened. Not a one-sided version.

    • See you in court, you Crook.
      This will all catch up to you Heather!

    • You are pitiful that’s the open book I read when I dealt with you in 2019. No more to your story not interesting nor is a sequel desired.

      • She is a crook. Shady scammer out there stealing from family after family and then blaming her actions on that (her daughter is so sick). She will be taken down. ????????
