Fraud Alert - Anderson-Direct.com CT Review

Anderson-Direct.com CT Review: I hired Fred Anderson from AndersonDirect.com (a business broker, M&A Financial Solutions for the Direct Marketing Industry in Westport, CT) at the end of August 2023. We signed an Agreement with a full refund option. After a few days, I noticed it was not a good fit and I requested a refund. He mentioned he'd invested the $15,000 retainer in a Certificate of Deposit. He initially promised to return the money upon maturity, then later shifted the date to two months based on the agreement. However, that timeframe passed, and he offered another excuse: his wife's illness prevented the refund. Only when I mentioned legal action and reporting the scam or financial fraud to authorities he grudgingly promised a repayment by December 15th. From the end of August to now December 26th, I'm still waiting. My personal experience with Fred Anderson from Anderson-Direct CT was the worst nightmare that I could think of. I felt like a victim of a scam, rip-off, lies, and taken advantage of, and even during the Holidays/Christmas season, he could not have the good faith to try to refund my money so I could spend it with my family.
I don't usually post reviews, but this personal experience with Fred Anderson/ Anderson-Direct.com CT warranted this one.
