Marina Mraovic Jankicevic is the listed owner of Speedster Inc. a trucking company in Hammond Indiana, which has not paid their workers and owes over $15,000.00 for various services. As the company is listed under Marina Mraovic Jankicevic's home address in Clarendon Hills IL, but operates out of Hammon Indiana - the question of jurisdiction becomes difficult, aside from Federal Laws. Marina Mraovic Jankicevic's husband Predrag Jankicevic (Pedja) runs the day-to-day operations and the two of them have a clever scheme how to defraud people. Marina Mraovic Jankicevic is hardly ever present at the Hammond Indiana office and does very little face to face work with anybody, which she left to her husband Predrag Jankicevic (Pedja) - that way they both have some semblance of plausible denial - I never hired anybody - he did, she did. Nobody can make any sense of it, but the bottom line result is that many persons are owed serious amounts of money. A coleage of mine was shorted by $3,000, I have not been paid some $1,200.00, one of the drivers has been shorted by $6,000.00 - which easily exceeds $10,000.00 - making this a serious theft of labor. To protect myself I filed complaints with the FBI, Indiana district attorney, while the Hammond IN local police department underestimated this joint criminal endeavor instructing me to go to the local Small Claims court. A separate Ripp-off report has been filed against Marina Mraovic Jankicevic's husban Predrag Jankicevic (who additionally has no legal residence in the US, no driver's license - yet he drives, and who is a fugutive from justice in his home country). Neither of the two co-conspirators should be taken ligthly, and Marina Mraovic Jankicevic's primary work (Platinum Home builders) should be scrutinized as well. The basic common sense dictates that people who are prone to criminal activites never commit only one infraction.

Not only are the Marina Mraovic Jankicevic and Predrag Jankicevic Pedja liars, but they are poor liars. Marina states that a text message from me to her says "Help me". I recovered that entire message and it says exactly "Please help me get paid. $1200 is a lot of money but nobody is returning my calls" dayted May 19th at 11:32 AM. Goes to demonstrate that money is owed and nobody was ever paying me, while everybody played deaf. It is extremely hard to be defrauded, not paid, and on top of that they make you sound completely crazy. Thank God that there are police reports filed, saved text messages, etc. etc. People this unethical should hang. Absolutely no mercy for people who constantly defraud more and more persons and live from the hard work and earnings of others. I wish our criminal system was a lot more strict.

additional complaint

Finally, I found the team of crroks. Some years ago, my family and I, spent $6,000 to get our passenger car shipped to Serbia - using the services of Predrag Jankicevic Pedja and his wife Marina Mraovic Jankicevic. My English was not all that good then, nor is it much better now, but I know when I have been cheated. My car spent some 3 months rusting away in the Adriatic sea since the ground transfer from Rijeka to Belgrade was not paid. For me to recover my car I was asked to pay additional $3,000.00. Later I learned that the entire price of shipping a vehicle from Chicago to Europe is about $3,000.00 total door to door. This husband wife team of crooks damaged me by some $6,000.00 plus the cost of fixing the rusty parts of the car. My total damage is well over $10,000.00. 

 

I was wondering how Predrag Jankicevic Pedja would even sign his name (since he is illiterate), now it is obvious that his wife Marina Mraovic Jankicevic is more than an accomplice. Well oiled team of thieves. Stay away from these two.

No true rebuttal only character assasination attempt

AUTHOR: Iliya - ()

POSTED: Sunday, July 20, 2014

Due to this web-site's construction, any answer posted after the initial complaint is titled "rebuttal". So was the answer of the proven crook Marina Mraovic Jankicevic. Insted of trying to refute any comments I made - she simply made a poor attempt at character assasination, callimg me "old, bitter and what not". Under the most liberal circumstances, and without splitting hairs, let's get a few more issues accross, kindly answer the following simple questions with a "YES or a NO" - can't be any simpler:

1. Is your husband Predrag Jankicevic Pedja, a fugutive from justice in the country of his birh, or is he not?

2. If we both agree that I worked for you, no matter how old, bitter or decrepid I may have been, you must have paid me something sometime - kindly produce a canceled check to show that you paid me anything anytime? None exists.

3. If both parents Predrag Jankicevic Pedja and his wife Marina Mraovic Jankicevic are found to be felons (felony theft in the amount of over $200,000.00) would the Department of Children and Families (DCF) found this to be undesirable moral turpitude issue which would adversly affect their ability to raise children?

4. Since my reports to the Hammond Polise, Indiana State Police, The Indiana Attorney General and the FBI predates your allegations - do you really think that you would not be questioned by the authorities if any nasty accident is to befall me?

5. A sentence in your "rebuttal" states that you are worried about my well being - and you should be since you would be the first suspects, knowing that your husband Predrag Jankicevic Pedja has reported underworld ties. You better take every possible step to protect me, once the questions start you may lose your children and your freedom. I have studdied Law enough to know full well what you may be accused of. If you were found guilty for only 10% of the crimes you committed, it's a cool 10 year gig and the big house - ask around - or take me to court for slander and libel - woun't you?

We both know you won't take me to court since your methodology of criminal involvment exceeds the common petty theft by a long shot. As a matter of fact I am not sure that you have not violated the RICO statute as well. Most of your infraction being on a serious Federal level and between two states unavoidably calls for the FBI intervention. Let's see who is afraid of whom? I am a citizen of the United States - in good standing without a parking ticket, let alone any crimes, unlike your husband, so take me to court. Unlike the majority of your victims who are first generation immigrants without the proper command of the English language, this time you blew it.

Blacklisting your defunct company? Who's kidding who?

AUTHOR: Iliya - ()

POSTED: Saturday, July 19, 2014

Why would anybody blacklist a defunct company? What world do you live in? Strange that my police complaint preceeds yours by about a month, so don't think yourself as high and mighty. You have risen to miserable heights. Very poor attempts to defend yourself - but you did fairly well - considering that you have nothing to work with. The only way to "explain" away your theft, was to slander me on account of my age. Obviously that is not a factor nor has it ever been a factor. Try to explain how is it that you defrauded several persons in the amount of over $200,000? (two hundred thousand dollars). Some as young as 23 - if age is to be counted. Don't make me tell you what I think of you and your physical deformity - that is not the case here - it is your THEFT OF LABOR, THEF OF MONEY.

 

Of course you won't respond, you have nothing to say - the more you say the more work for your lawyer to get you off with a lighter sentence - there is no lighter sentence.

 

Your husband (Pedja - Predrag Jankicevice) can not respond since he is functionally illiterate. You may choose to sit and write in his stead, as not to go back on your promise to "not respond". I challenge you both.

Sure - take me t court if you're so right,won't you?

AUTHOR: Iliya - ()

POSTED: Saturday, July 19, 2014

Sure, "older, bitter man". If there is no truth to my report - take me to court - why don't you? You know why. You defrauded Stefan by $150,000.00 (one hundred and fifty thousand dollars), you defrauded Debby (Dubravka) by $3,000 (three thousand dollars), you defraude Manuel - your driver by $5,000 (five thousand dollars). So "older-bitter" doesn't really add up to an awful lot in courts. You also defrauded the family Plavsic by $5,000, if you want me to continue enumerating just ask - this is not nearly all the people that you ripped off. Soon enough there will be an investigation and you will have your chance to explain it all to the authorities. At least you do acknowledge that I was working for you - which suits me just fine. Even if I were "on trial basis" - which is NOT the case, some pay is still owed. Do you want me to scan your bounced check and post it here? You do not pay anybody in bounced checks even if they are on "trial basis".

In the last instance if there is any merit to your rebuttal you would have taken legal action - which I welcome, since that will give me an opportunity to finish off your criminal enterprise. It's no coincidence that the business is the name of the wife (who just happens to running a defunct real estate firm - is that a surprise, or not? NOT. The wife and husband (the scumbag number1) reside in Clarendon Hills IL, an upscale subdivision, while the business is "defunct". Exqueeeze me. How many people did you fail to pay since your business is so conviniently "defunct"? Reside in IL, bussiness in Indiana? Coincidence? NOT. Go ahead take me to court. Just to remind you that over $200,000 (two hundred thousand dollars) is a criminal felonly theft which carries a jail sentence. Since your mother is around your daughters will not have to go to a foster home - so nothing to worry about, nor to expect any linient sentencing from the court. I am looking forward to a legal action, are you? Never mind the "bitter, old" let's see if the Las finds you to be the thieves that you are, or not. Go ahead, I challenge you.

#2 REBUTTAL Owner of company

Owners Reply

AUTHOR: Owner - ()

POSTED: Saturday, July 19, 2014

The author of the fraudulent information provided on this site is Ilija Pavlovich whom we've had the misfortune of meeting and possibly hiring at our trucking company. Ilija claimed that he had the experience and knowledge to successfully manage a trucking company and he came to us seeking a position. Ilija is an older, lonely, bitter man that seeks to hurt others. In his own miserable life, his grown son does not want anything to do with him. He left him when he was only a child and never contacted him again.

Ilija was on a trial basis with my company. I was feeling very uneasy hiring him and working with him but my husband gave him the benefit of doubt and we decided on a trial basis. It soon became very apparent that Ilija knew something about trucking but his personality and his relation with clients, drivers and vendors was beyond unacceptable. I gave him some responsibility to make calls and set accounts up just to have those contacts call me and refuse to deal with him. They claimed he was rude, arrogant and spoke in puzzles. When I spoke to him about these issues, he said they were all lies and he knew what he was doing. He also later told my husband that he did not like doing business with women and that their place should be in the home. He rarely spoke to me after that confrontation, that is when I knew that he was far from being a suitable candidate for my company.

There were other habits and traits about Ilija that were not right either. He would take his lunch break and get something to eat, then he would park on the side of the building and eat and continue sitting there. He had a blanket that he would throw across his lap as he sat for long periods of time. He would watch the kids playing outside and it made my stomach turn. He watched them with such interest in a sick way. We have security cameras on the outside of our building and were able to witness his actions. That was the last draw. He needed to leave our premises immediately.

To address his false claims:

Speedster owes no employee money. We pay every one of our drivers and office staff in a timely manner. If that was true, we would have multiple law suits on our hands. We have none.

Speedster is registered in Illinois and is a company in Illinois. I also have offices and truck parking in Indiana. I park the trucks in Indiana because 10 semi trucks would not fit in my driveway and to do so would be illegal. Last time I checked, there is nothing illegal about that. 

When and how long an owner is physically at the office of his or her company, as far as I know, is not regulated by the government. I work from my home office because I have two small kids. The same work I would be doing in the Indiana office can be successfully done from my home office. I have yet to encounter an owner of a company being present at the company as much as their staff. That is why we hire staff, so that we do not have to spend all our time behind a desk.

Yet it is true that Ilija had never hired anyone to work for our company. I would never trust him to make that call and none of our employees cared for him or even wanted to work with him. 

Ilija claims that my husband does not hold a drivers license. He does.

My company Platinum Homes went out of business at the time of the housing crisis. Well over half of small construction companies closed during that time. Nothing surprising there. Platinum Homes or myself have never been accused of or under investigation for anything. Mr. Pavlovich is pulling at straws. 

I am curious to know, what am I a co-conspiritor of? I find it ignorant and amusing at the same time.

I am certain that Ilija Pavlovich will respond to this rebuttal with vengeance. He has all the time in the world. He is spiteful, unemployed and bitter. He has no family or friends and his attempts at blacklisting my company and my name are now the center of his world. He is fixated on us and will not let it go until his next victim.

It was only after we asked him to leave the premises immediately that we discovered all the pornographic sites that he had beed looking at. They were mostly of young teenage kids. We had to have the computer returned and cleaned of all sites and material.

Ilija needs to seek professional mental help before something tragic happens. He is capable of just about anything in his distorted state of mind. We fear that he may return to our place of business and harm us in some way. Ever since he was let go, he has send harassing emails,texts and messages to both myself and my husband. He claimed that we owed him money and he wrote me a text that read, "Help me." I have gone to the police and expressed our concerns and there is a complaint filed. He must not come with 500 feet of us or our children. When the children start school in the fall, I will submitt paperwork and photos of Ilija so that the school is aware of his confrontational state and unpredictable nature.

When Ilija decides to respond to this rebuttal with more of his false accusations and claims, I will not answer. I have too many responsibilities and also more intelligent ways to spend my time. For the record, it will not be a question of whether or not those accusations are true or false, but yet a choice not to involve myself in such unsupported, malicious claims made by a man whose opinion means nothing.

more evidence that all parties are connected

AUTHOR: Iliya - ()

POSTED: Monday, June 30, 2014

In case there ever comes a time when one party claims to be unaware of what the other was doing here is a record from the Indiana state ofice of corporate registrations listing the persons named in my prior post (namely Predrag Jankicevic, Marina Mraovic Jankicevic) this way there will be less of a chance to hide behind the corporate veil and count on residing in IL while operating out of Indiana. The file is under the docket Number is 2007052300350. It also lists the individuals by name as: The company has 3 principals on record. The principals are Marina Mraovic from Clarendon Hills IL, Miloje Jankicevic from Clarendon Hills IL, and Predrag Jankicevic from Clarendon Hills IL.

 

This more recent information is obtained from the bizpedia web site on the following URL: bizapedia.com/in/AUTO-USA-014-INC.html

 

I encourage all others who have been defrauded by these individuals to come forward, be heard, so we can have these people put away or dealt with in a legal manner.
