CREGrow / Dave Lewand DAVE LEWAND Marketing Services3DCRE Received Pre-Payment / Work not Performed / Took deposit as Account Receivable Winfield Illinois

Deposited $500 for a brochure/ marketing packet.  We never designated a project, and the deposit sat as a credit with Lewand for a year or so.  Discontinued our marketing arrangement.  (He had made a good website for me, a fine arrangement for 1-2 years.)  I asked for the $500 back. He basically said he didn't owe it to me.  Found it convenient to just keep it.  Likeable guy, competent.  When things got a little soupy, he tends to get combative, emotional.  It's not pretty.  Or honorable.  I asked for an explanation, and never got one.   The kind of guy who is good when everything is good, but intergrity goes out the door when a discontinued relationship and selfishness kicks in.  Also has a brother or relative who is a lawyer, will attempt to threaten or silence through this relationship. Pretty weak.  I would advise against doing business with this guy.
