HI there, I just found your blog. Unfortunately, I spent $209 of my own money and after almost three months of no payment I started doing some research and discovered Adam's little scam. Today really is when I found out most info and spoke with someone at Chem Dry corporate. Is there anything that I can do? I already filed with the BBB....thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jenn, first off let me say how sorry I am this con artist continues to get away with robbing hard working people. Unfortunately the BBB cannot do much because of the nature of the independent contractor relationship. I want to suggest two things: file a report with the FTC and with the Postal Inspector. The FTC maintains a database of complaints. This way if a government agency like the FBI ever decides to take action, they pull info from the FTC. Since we know he uses the postal service to collect data for shops, the postal inspector could investigate him.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you would be willing to speak to a news reporter because I am working on finding someone who handles scams to air him out.
Just logged in and read this! I ended up filing a complaint with the Utah Labor Commission, but since the work took place in FLorida, they cannot do anything about it. Florida doesn't have anything like that, so our economic department suggested contacting a lawyer. I have a letter drafted that I am planning on sending to his wife...perhaps she is not even aware of what he has done. If I don't get anywhere with that, I am researching small claims. Do you think if we can get enough people together that we can file a class action lawsuit? Not sure how to find everyone, but it doesn't hurt to look into. Yes, I am willing to speak with a reporter.
