You would have thought that would have been the case in July, yet people still sent him books in August.  I get it, no one's perusing the internet for every reference of a business, but it's clear there are still people out there who are still blind to what's happening.

Or so he claims.

I dunno, from the prior thread, he seems the type to be very eager to defend himself and play the victim card.  I can't imagine him just restraining himself and not saying anything.  Far easier for him to just delete his account in July and turn a blind eye to everything.  For him, it's better to be ignorant than informed.

He may have gotten himself banned with his final rant in the last thread.

Hang on, you're taking my words out of context.

I was speaking to the notion that collecting information from the affected customers might be the first step in eventually getting some legal pressure applied. 

At no point did I suggest that this effort to gather information would have any kind of impact on new customers submitting books.  It's pretty easy to see how a new customer would be completely unaware of what's being discussed here.

Good lord. How many of your posts do I comment on? But when I see blatant hypocrisy I tend to call it out. Of course you are a victim here. That fits your MO.  

Caveat Emptor is an imperative statement.  You can think of it as a warning. Let the buyer beware.  As an imperative statement, it is forward looking - i.e. Beware, lest you run into trouble.

Using it after the fact, is actually stating that the buyer failed to beware and is, ipso facto, victim shaming, or in some cases foolish person shaming.

You are absolved.

What is the time frame for requesting reimbursement from my credit card company due to any fraudulent activities by Mike?

It depends on the terms and conditions of your agreement with the credit card company. I would call them immediately.

[Cnight]

Thanks @seanfingh! That was what I figured but didn’t know if there was anything further on the legal side regarding this matter.

At least I got my books back! Better than many can say at this time 😕.

Attention, attention! 

If you have sent books to Hero Restoration and have not received them back, please send a copy of your email receipt from H R showing what books were sent and the date to @Sauce Dog and myself.  Feel free to redact any personal information you aren't comfortable sharing such as a credit card number and so forth.  Please use your own judgement on what you do or do not want to share at this time.  It may become necessary to provide more detail later, but let's start with this.  The purpose of this request is probably obvious, but feel free to PM me or SD with any questions or concerns.

 

@MattTheDuck

You guys doing something?  What about folks who got their books back but received no work for their cost?

Just to add to what @MattTheDuck has said: If you made a submission before 2021 but no longer have the original email notification that was sent you can still message me directly and I might be able to help source it and add you & your books to the list of those outstanding.

@Sauce Dog I have my books, thank God, but I can add my damages to the total claim; if that would help.

[CAHokie]

Any list that is being compiled should include those that are out books and/or money. It will help provide the entire picture to the appropriate authorities or court.

[shadroch]

I think the money is the gist of the case. Authorities may not recognize the value of a bunch of kiddie books and you can argue over their value, but cash is well defined.

That would most certainly help and I encourage everyone to fill out the survey even if they have their books back (if they paid for services that were never provided that is very important)

@Sauce Dog could you re-share the survey link? I’ll provide the info.

Also, I have the receipts from my payment with time stamps; is there a way to share that with you?

Each credit card issuer has different terms, but the most I've seen was 6 months.  Chase and BofA show 60 days.  AmEx is 120.

Looks like he dissolved his business this year and made a new one at the end of last year. Probably to shield himself from liability.

I'm not sure how this works in the USA, but how does dissolving the company in March 2023 legally impact any business he accepted after that date?

It can affect personal liability, but to the extent that there is going to be litigation, there will be vigorous attempts to pierce that LLC and attach personal liability, regardless of when the entity was formed, dissolved or re-formed.

CAVEAT EMPTOR!...when dealing with Seanfingh's wit. 

True story, actually. This guy will singe you without breaking a sweat.

Also demonstrates two very important concepts - knowledge and intent.
