Google is doing this with everything. In the end they will answer almost every query directly, except when you are looking for a site. Even then, they could try to identify what do you want from that site (if you use chrome or the site has google analytics) and show you the info you are lloking for.

Did they buy something? You can make PayPal reverse thr transaction. I was on the other side of this before, a scammer used a stolen account to pay me. PayPal reversed the transaction and I couldn't do anything. Really unfair considering that I wasn't the one phished.

I don't know how are you going to implement your service. But by looking at your website it seems that you could do a lot by hand to test if it works, sort of "fake it til you build it"

I built a lot of things that didn't work and with time I learnt to first get customers and then build the product.

I usually buy time saying that we are customizing the product for the client's use case, which it's usually half true. Just be honest about dates.

I know.

I just wanted to share this because I find it amusing til the moment that client went with another company that had "patent pending tech" and AI, it was sad because I knew the other company was just a couple of guys loading data.

I guess the lesson is that sometimes it's hard for people with a technical background to sell because we usually don't "hype" our tech.
