The conceive of a scam in which about 400 homeowners in San Diego and Riverside counties were tricked into paying nearly $2 million in fees in hopes of beating foreclosure was sentenced to 46 years in prison.

After an eight-week trial, he was found guilty in March of 160 counts of conspiracy to commit grand theft... read full review »

A German citizen Detlev G Pinkus (photo and passport scan available upon request) apparently uses both i) social networks and ii) Western Union to organize a classic scam: - creates an illusion that he is an influential, powerful, rich individual with many high-ranking contacts, frequently referring to them when contacting his "marks" - creates a situation of emergency, when he was robbed or scammed in a foreign country (preferably Poland) - asks to send money to him to pay for food, hotel, or collateral he needs to pay in... read full review »

I had read some of the reviews on this website regarding Brainmass.com but was still desperate enough to give it a whirl. The website claimed that it would provide the solution for a VERY comprehensive problem in my textbook. This problem literally takes hours and hours and hours to complete (6 hours maybe?) and I was stuck on one part of it and decided to shell out the $3 to see if I was on the right track. VERY disappointing. The correct answer should be 5-10 full Excel spreadsheets. I only got half of one. The problem I wa... read full review »

Click Studios hired us to provide design services to them. The work started in June and it ended in September. June was paid but Click Studio (Ivan Nguyen) refuses to pay for July and August 2010. All the work that they have requested has been completed and delivered on time. The services that he acquired from us were given to his clients in which he was paid. It is only right that Ivan Nguyen pay us the sum of $3000.00 for the month of July and August. It has been 6 months that we have been trying to contact Ivan regarding the payments but he refuses to answer our calls and emails. read full review »

Defrauding clients and taking money from people in foreclosure is not the only problems I see with Matthew C.

I have so far heard from several homeowners who got taken in by the promiise to help the home owner is distress and instead just end up owing the same amount and be out several thousands of dollars in the mean time. It's really unfortunate that Mullhofer takes his cut upfront which shows how he seems to... read full review »

Dave Abraham scammed me out of $725 for credit reports and deletion of problem on credit reports he said it would take 7 days that was Aug 27, 2010 and now its Oct 25, 2010 and nothing has been done.

I hope these type of scammers stop scamming innocent consumers read full review »

It is a new twist to an old scam pyramid or Ponzi schemes are back, and with the help of the Internet, scammers could make millions of dollars and then disappear quickly. Some San Diego victims found out the hard way in the latest scam known as autosurfing. “It was an investment I could live with, ” said Melanie Garrett. “I trusted him, ” said Gerry Simoni. “I kind of feel cheated, ” said Brian Hudson. Alex Blench said, “It was too good to be true.” Garrett, Simoni, Hudson and Blench... read full review »

South Bay Tattoo Company in Chula Vista had to change their name because the artist messed up so many peoples tattoos! It used to be known as Celebrity Tattoo. The artist calls himself South Bay Mike and he has no integrity. I heard he will mess up your tattoo on purpose if he doesn't like you personally or if he thinks you dissed him in some way. Why not just not do the tattoo and send the person somewhere else. Man up! He is so paranoid! He also has messed up badly on many peoples tattoos. One he did for me was decent.

They want you to send upfront money to secure a position in acquiring Business lines of credit, and or a spot on the Trading Platform. The correspondence is good for a few weeks at best. but when it comes to your funding date, it keeps getting pushed further and further back. Then there's no communication. After a month has gone by they may call you to say their contact has stolen the money and they themselves must get that money to the "so called" underwriter. Please BEWARE!!! They both change names and numbers very easily. read full review »

Greg, The bottom line is that it was illegal for you, bill or anyone else to collect monies in advanced. it doesn't matter what you were paid or not paid. No one should've been paid until all parties that had to agree for the transaction to go down had done so, which is why yall are being investigated by authorities. Bill has a history of rolling over on folks I cant wait to see how long it takes for him to roll over on you, since he already implicated you during the small claims suit that I already won against him. This program that... read full review »

They agreed to set up houses with Newella Weekes and me being the only investor all three people agreed to pay me 10% so I expected in 2008 210, 000 dollars which I have never received.

I told them that I would like a refund right away so that I can find other means of securing seats for the show. A day later and my... read full review »

I noticed charges on my bank statement that listed Perfect Home and the above phone number. I called the number and they informed me that I completed an application and gave them my credit card number. This never happened! Even scarier is that this is not the only unknown charge I found on my statement. There were three others. Each one is set up the same way and they can tell me the date I signed up and what I was doing when I signed up. I have done a small bit of research on this and have found that I am not the only one being scammed by these companies. I want my money back and I am going to fight to get it. read full review »

I think this is another stupid scam marketing company that you find in orlando florida, which is run by scam artists or idiots or who knows who...designed to lure people into interviews for no reason.

Constantly scamming and posting hidden fees on your account. Always check your statement thoroughly. Customer service agents lie and promise you deals and rebates and then charge you for them on your statement. Then of course when you call and try to resolve the issues the agents dont know what you are talking about and dont care. In my case I was even hung up on by the poorly trained staff. I would NOT recommend this service period. I would suggest Dish Network instead! read full review »

This company does not care about their tenants one bit. I live in a moldy falling down townhouse that the company does not care about. I found years worth of mold growing in the venting system and had to pay to get it cleaned because the property manager would not have them cleaned, found mold growing in the utility closet and they came out a month later and had it painted over. Now the roof leaks took them a month to look at that too, and I have a leak in the ceiling in a bedroom, again they came and painted over it. They do half ass repairs on everything or don't come at all, there are many more issues with this company and house as well. read full review »

Last fall, I was looking for a faucet for our new home that had been discontinued. I had done a lot of business previously with K and B Galleries, and I called them. They had a floor model of the faucet, which I purchased from John at half price. The faucet arrived with parts in disarray, tossed into a box. Our plumber tried unsuccessfully to install it; there was at least one part missing, and the plumber could not find a substitute. The parent company (Franke) no longer carried the faucet, and to make matters more complicated, the faucet... read full review »

My mother in law has broken the battery door on her hearing aid is being charged 560.00 to repair it. This is minus a "170.00 building discount" because she lives in a assisted living complex. So if she did not live in this building I guess the total would have been over $700.00!!! I feel like this company is taking advantage of senior citizens!! Does anyone know what the usual and customary amount would be for this type of hearing aid repair! Her aid is a type that is molded to her ear as is Siemens Brand. read full review »

In 2008 I ordered a Christmas gift of the 2008 Cook’s illustrated book. I marked that it was a gift and paid in full when the order was placed. That was the end of it, or so I thought. This year I received another book (the new 2009 version) that I did not order. When I contacted customer service they said to return the book with the label on the web site. That was a month ago, I am still receiving past due notices requesting payment. I would not suggest becoming a customer of this company if they are going to treat their customer’s this way. read full review »
