Jim has managed to fly under the radar for many years with both the IRS and Child Support Enforcement. Actually, he seems to have dropped OFF the radar screen. He has numerous Contempts of Court under his belt and was lucky enough to have the judge believe his sob stories (none true). He has not talked to his son since 2005. He finally returned my email when I emailed him the report I posted on this website. I was given the usual promises, checks in the mail, etc. He owns a house in Florida and Park City, Utah... need I say more.

I would sincerely appreciate any help at all. I don't want to do anything that may embarass my son, but I am to the point of not being able to pay the bills. He deserves to be in jail, and now that he never contacts my son, here wouldn't find out anyway that his father was in jail. The State of NY caught up with him in 1997 and threatened to put him in jail and he miraculously came up with $12,000 overnight.

GSG Entertainment is the so-called company that he works under the table with Jim Hoffman. Now I read on this website that GSG is going under? Now it seem more hopeless than ever that my son will get any support. Thank you for your help.

Anne, I've seen your posts before. This is NOT your first post. You responded to my comments before under my GSG Entertainment posts. I have filed a second report with the FTC about GSG Entertainment but so far no action has been taken and it's making me furious! we need more complaints to put them out of business so Ultrastar can take over!

I don't think it is the same person

AUTHOR: Anne - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, May 18, 2007

I don't want to give out to much information, that puts me at a disadvantage for him to know what steps I'm taking. To answer your question, no, they are not the same person. Jim Hoffman bought Jim Friskel's company (software he had written) back in 1997 when NY threatened to throw him in jail for child support arrearages. He magically came up with $12,000 by selling his software to Jim Hoffman.

I only saw one "comment" from you on my report so I don't know what you meant by me "not listening". This is my first time using this website so I may be missing some features I don't know about.

I am posting Jim Friskel on WantedPosters and will be happy to email you the link so you can email it to everyone in your email address book. I am going to do the same. Nothing shames or embarasses him into doing the decent thing for his son but I will not stop trying until he gets what he deserves.

#3 Consumer Suggestion

I have a suggestion

AUTHOR: Suzanne - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, May 17, 2007

Anne I have a suggestion. Leave a message on the number I gave you or call these numbers (212) 280-5940 or (954) 993-7916. I would have your lawyer call those numbers instead of you that will scare the hell out of him and Jenn Crickard who works for GSG also.

This woman is a real *&*& I have dealt both with her and that crazy lunatic Jim Hoffman as well. Do you suppose that your ex husband is Jim Hoffman using that name as an alias? Jenn is a downright phoney along with Jim Hoffman who have nothing better to do than rip off innocent fans.

I want these jerks out of business and I've tried to warn the band about this but they don't seem to have a clue as to what's really going on and they should in all honesty. With your assistance we can get these idiots out of business once they find this out!

I have tried that number for over 2 years.

AUTHOR: Anne - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, May 17, 2007

Hi, thank you for your comment. I have tried that phone number many times and I always get "Jenn" who leaves her cell phone which always goes to voice mail. A could get her on the line a few years ago and that is how I confirmed his physical address, however when my process server went to the house in Woodstock whomever answered the door said they had not idea who Jim Friskel was.

The attempted service the Notice Of Hearing about 6 times, talked to neighbors, etc, all to no avail. The FL Dept. of Revenue's Child Support Enforcement (DOR/CSE) cannot transfer the case to NY until they have an address where he "has mail delivered to him".

I had a process server at his house in Park City, Utah who went to the house numerous times, windows were open, patio doors were open but no one ever answered the door. I have spent 100's of hours (time taken away from my children), 1000,s of dollars on attorneys. I had him in front of a judge in FL five or six times and he managed to talk the judge out of incarceration.

Anne I posted the phone number and address of GSG

AUTHOR: Suzanne - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, May 16, 2007

Anne, I posted the phone number of GSG Entertainment several times on the rip off report. Please refer to my previous reports. Apparently, you are not paying attention to the information I gave you. That should help you get this ex husband criminal that GSG is harboring in jail and the company in trouble with the law and the federal trade commission. You should call them or get a lawyer to call for you.

I want this company out of business myself and Ultrastar another fan club website company who's better to take over, but unfortunately they are not going under just yet but they should eventually once they find out about this dilemma.

I want them out of business and if the Moody Blues and Duran Duran find out about your criminal ex husband and the damage that they have been causing a lot of fans by ripping them off and stealing their money; they will not do business with GSG Entertainment any longer and they will fold and go out of business. Believe me, they would not want to deal with a fraudulant company who has let down the fans time and time again.

So please call GSG at(646) 202-1450 address 150 W. 28TH Street Suite 804 New York, NY 10023. I don't know what else to tell you but you have to prove that this is valid in order for this to happen and for GSG to shut down their operations and get your ex in jail! GSG's websites are http://www.moodybluestoday.com and http://www.duranduranmusic.com. If you cooperate with me and can prove that this is a valid complaint I will be able to help you and I have tried but you haven't paid any attention to what I've been telling you so far!
