Bee Specialist Animal Removal Specialist Company street address is not occupied, but used as a cover. Employer did not pay employees, and abused company expense write-offs. This company uses multiple addresses and phone numbers. Simi Valley, California

I did some quick research on google about Bee Specialist, an animal removal company. I became suspicious when I found at least five different addresses in different cities, listed under the same name and owner. This is for a small, privately-owned company that operates out of ONE location.

Upon further research, manta.com showed this company reported earnings from $145k/yr, $230k/yr, $1 million/year, and is owned by Ronald O'Brien, and Mark Anderson. I found Mark Anderson's contact information, and was able to determine that he is not an owner at all, but allowed his information to be used.

Their Current Website and Phone Number: http://www.beespecialist.net, (800) 636-2434. No address or owner is named on this site.

However, their primary address and number show up on local Yahoo! search as 4212  E. Los Angeles Ave # 3402, Simi Valley, CA, 90212. (805) 306-1213.  This address is not currently, physically occupied. Calling any of the following numbers will go to their 800 number, where you will speak to the owner, Ronald O'Brien, who is working at another anonymous address somewhere in Ventura County (most likely a home in Simi Valley):

(805) 306-1213 (goes to 800)

(805) 526-2237

(661) 260-2221 (goes to 800)

(310) 278-7444 (goes to 800)

(818) 957-1799 (goes to 800)

(800) 636-2434 (800 – ACTIVE)

I have interviewed employees, and they reported that the owner refused to pay them their final checks, and secretly had other employees working (off the books), and that Ron O'Brien denied any knowledge of their employment, and refused to answer or return their phone calls.

I plan to report this company to the BBB, if not the IRS. It has made hundreds of thousands of dollars annually, and falsified official paperwork, even running without a license at one point (you can research this at the California Government website), while Claiming to be Licensed, Bonded, and Insured.

This isn't just a ripoff---this is criminal.
