Hi Billy,
We're sorry to hear you were stiffed on the work you hired this contractor to perform. Unfortunately, your best legal recourse would be to take him to small claims and see if you can procure a judgement against him. Even then, you may have to hire a collection agency to see even a penny refunded, if he ignores the judgement.
You and any other right thinking citizen would guess that this was a crime, since this person effectively "stole" your money, but the law doesn't see it the same way ... you'll have to go through civil channels if you want to see any action at all.
If you feel comfortable, please post the name and address of the person or company who has wronged you as a warning to others in your area!
Best,

I really need someones help in reporting to the FTC a company called auto-rx that markets an oil additive in Florida and claims that it cleans up the internals of an automobile engine. I found this company on a website called Bob Is The Oil Guy back in 2007. I contacted the owner of auto-rx and he told me his product would clean up my engine. I became a member on Bob Is The Oil Guy but will refer too it as BITOG. Auto-rx can be found in the oil additve section on the board. I started using the product and then I became a moderator on the auto-rx board that had no traffic, so I was posting on BITOG and people were complaining that the product did not work. I did some research on BITOG by going through old posts and I found out the original owner of the board protected auto-rx, and if there were posts complaining about the product, they were deleted. The board changed hands and the new owner did not protect auto-rx, people were still attacking the product, I figured out that this product was designed to clean a printing press that runs on hydraulic fluid, it was never tested in an automobile, auto-rx never has done any testing.

When it ain't broke, don't fix it - might be viewed as the mantra of those who make money from corruption and deception, but can our democracy afford to indulge that method when making money?
Surely, America did not start out that way, and despite the number who have climbed onto the wagon of corruption, it never did deserve the disguise of honor, or goodness that is often co-opted as its mask.
The trouble with not fixing it is that once tolerated, even to insure that some small few make salaries and income from that system, everyone will be harmed by it, and the presumption is not "if, but when" it will occur to every one - because corruption doesn't breed anything but corruption, "they" claim - whoever they are. If not today, it will be one's turn tomorrow because a culture of corruption and deception is just that - and there are few or no survivors.
Can we afford for that to be what America is all about? Paying it forward is nothing compared to paying it backward, after the harm is done.

I have been laid off from two jobs, had my own business for about 2 yrs. then went to work for a company called Valspar Coatings and was laid off there and I believe they are making it harder for me to find a job, why I don't know but I was a very hard worker who spoke up and gave 100% for this company but believe they are making it harder for me on finding work; not sure but I believe the Manager did not like me because I was outspoken on several topics.
I also believe that my resume is hurting me since I have not had stable work history due to being laid off.
Can you help me understand?

I applied for a 5000 dollar secured loan through a place in new york they told me they needed the first 5 payments which totaled 759.70. I thought it was real even had my mom talk to them about it and they told her the same thing they told me all I needed was the first 5 months and I could get the 5000 dollars that day. I called the guy that day to arrange to have the money sent through western union and the guy gave me the name of the person I was to send it to which was in Canada after I sent the money I had to call the loan place back and give him the the number to get the money picked up and he said he would have the money in the bank either before 5pm or the next day about 130 pm I got a call from someone else at that number and they left a message saying there was a problem with my app and to call them right away and I did the guy told me that they went over my info and that I needed another 5 months worth of payment sent I told the guy I gave them all I had and that I wanted my money back he said I can't get it back til march 7th which is on a sunday no banks are open on sunday I went to my bank with the papers I had signed and the western union papers the bank said they thought it was a fraud because the money was sent to a person not a business and it was sent to Canada and not to where there office is located. So I had them put a freeze on my bank account so that they couldn't take any of my money only deposits could be put in so I have to wait til march 8th to see if I will get my money back which no one thinks I will get it back. I had alot of hopes for that 5000 needed it to fix my car and so me and my boyfriend could get into a place instead of living in a motor home needed to pay my bills off. And I believe I got scammed I am paying for five bills I thought taking out this loan I could just pay one bill and it would be easier on me to do I really need help on what to do should I wait and see if they return my money or should I do something and what should I do about it

Super upset. Joined a group on the internet and have been dealing with them for one week trying to get my refund. Lying, fake extensions, haning up on me. I am just so tired of it all. I finally had to file a complaint with the BBB, I can't get anywhere with the people working there. I am out $249.00 and I just don't see what is so hard about refunding a customer. I did not even sign the terms of agreement, so I am not legally bound to their contract in any way shape or form.
