So Brandon uses our limousine service on 07/03/2011, all night, everything is fine and usual. Until he decides to pay us with a check for $850. We generally don't accept checks from people that we don't know, or have a history with. However Brandon, claims to have no cash, no debit card and no credit card on him or even at home. This leaves us no choice but to take the check.

Upon depositing the check, the check bounces due to NSF. I contact Brandon about this, first off he never answers the phone, if anything he will text. So i start communicating with him about the bad check via text. I politely ask him to make amends to the situation, by paying me cash or cashiers check or even credit card. He agrees, I am STILL waiting for the funds.

I even offered to meet up with him to collect funds, he agreed but of course could never make it to any of our arranged meetings, excuses include :on my way, out of town.  I contact him over and over again, he just lies, that fund are on their way. It has been more than 2 months. Brandon has moved, does not answer my calls or texts.

I am starting off my legal action with my posting here. Word of advise, this guy is bad news. I don't know him personally but on a business level this guy will screw you. Do not trust what he says, if anything money should be paid upfront for all situation that involve Brandon. He is a d**n good liar, I wish I would have googled him name before dealing with him. He can conned people from all over. He should be put in Jail for fraud.

If you are a victim and have any questions or want to share your story with me. You can reach me (Jay) at (((REDACTED))). My next stop is filing a police report, so I also have this on record.

Official response to ripoff reports filed against me

AUTHOR: brandon dibernardo - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, March 18, 2012

Here is my reply to this and other ripoff reports that have been written about me:

Regarding the complaints that have been filed against me, I have to go ahead and admit that the very core of some of these complaints is true. Whats true specifically? In 2011, and even on some occasions prior to any of these reports being filed, I have been wholly irresponsible insofar as writing checks. I have written checks without properly balancing my bank account registers, causing them to bounce.

This is what has happened with most of the smaller checks that have been reported. I have written checks expecting some funds to come in to the bank account in question (something that is done by people all over the country every day), and then the funds didnt come in (usually a result of our awful economy last year), causing them to bounce. This is what
has happened with most of the larger checks that have been reported. In the end, however, these were mistakes. There was no fraud involved.

These werent scams. These checks had my real name on them, my address, and I would think if they had been frauds that this wouldnt be the case (because, of course, it could cause a problem such as the one I have now with these reports). Generally, I had been a customer prior to a bad check and nothing like this had happened before with their company, yetpeople have chosen to ignore that fact.

In all, to my knowledge, there are three complaints regarding checks. Im not going to go into very specific details regarding any of these situations or reports, because I consider them to be private matters, to  be settled between the parties involved (and including the court system if so applicable). As one of the complaints notes, I have taken care of some of these problems as soon as I was made aware of them. As a couple of other complaints have noted, I have not paid others (though I have paid more than they say I have...of course). Why havent I paid them? Because they have caused irreparable damage to my online reputation, which prior to May 2011 was squeaky clean. The damage that they have caused was done without much thought on the part of these specific authors, and with complete and utter malice.

One particular author (whom I wont name, since he chose to remain anonymous on the report and since I have some character and will protect his privacy since that is what he wishes) created the first report that was filed and made serious allegations, some of which were completely fabricated, including even some of the smallest, meaningless details.

If it werent for this, he would have been paid by now. Suffice it to say, though, I have paid the large majority of my debts, except in cases where this kind of intentional damage was done.

From that first, extremely negative report, others have followed. When a bump in the road happened for me financially in 2011, people searched for my name online, and found that report. Understandably, they thought the worst.

So they followed suit, calling me the same names that the first report called me, making the same psychiatric diagnoses that the first report made (without, of course, being qualified to do so), adding in the same exaggerations and flat-out lies that the first report added in. Drama is everything in these reports, and understandably so, because they just wouldnt be as exciting (or impactful) if the truth wasnt twisted into a horror story, a horror story that truthfully belongs on the big screen in Hollywood. The parallels between some of these reports are amazing, each one using the same adjectives as the last to describe me. Theres no creativity in this, apparently. (Or perhaps there is, considering that the most seriously fabricated reports came from someone who personally admitted to me that he had a lot of fun making it all up.)

The bottom-line is that what you read on these sites isnt the real story, and this response is all I can really do at this time to convince those that are concerned of this.

Oh, and it should also be noted that Im not a sociopathic mobster, with Aspergers, trying to get across the border with my sidearm (while snorting cocaine) to join my pals in the Mexican Mafia, and that I also occasionally participate in homosexual activity -- just before scamming my partners in that activity -- and of course I also womanize on the side. Come on, really? This is the picture that these reports paint. These allegations are some of the most ludicrous examples of some of the latest reports, which arent based on any truth at all, and are just completely fabricated. (The ones
that are fabricated that are more believable than this example are still fascinating in the way that there is substantial detail, seemingly minute-by-minute, that is also in itself fabricated.)

On the more realistic side of allegations, note that there has never been an example of anything regarding credit cards on my part, even though one of the reports written about me mentions credit card fraud. This is just another example where someone has added allegations to make matters look worse than they really are, and another example of
follow-the-leader. Beyond the bounced checks, none of the other allegations have any substance.

To my knowledge, I have never been sued regarding any of these complaints, and there has been no other type of legal action related to the reports. Although some of these reports allude to the idea that there are warrants out for my arrest and to contact the authorities, this is simply untrue and these are some of the most serious allegations that must be pointed out as false.
