Ron Hicks contacted my company for warm-ups for his basketball team. After the order was completed I asked for payment and he tried to issue me a purchase order. I told him we could get him set up on terms if he would fill out the credit application.

He told me how he was a huge baskeball company and he couldn't believe I wouldn't take his purchase order. Then he told me he would send a check. We received the check. So I sent his items to him.

A few days later we receive a notice from the bank that the check was wrote from a closed account.

I contact Mr. Hicks and he intstantly becomes defensive and tells me he is going to get his lawyer involved and I tell him that is fine. He can do that and I will send the returned check to his lawyer. He gives me a phony email address that belongs to him.

I then tell him we are sending this to collections and the police and he tells me we will have payment in a week.

A week goes by and we have no payment. Ron then begins to ignore us. So I start to do some interent digging. I guess I should have done this before we did business with him. There is several reports of this same thing. He has taken money from people who he is promising to send over to play basketball and never sends them and keeps their money. He has wrote them checks out of closed accounts and then stops communicating with them.

When I contact Ron with this information he again becomes very defensives and tells me he is sending the money. Needless to say it has almost been a year and we don't have our money.

Don't ever do any type of business with this man or Chicago Steam. It is a scam!!
