I was also apparently the victim of consumer fraud in NJ. In the beginning the company never provided me with a contract regarding the services they would provide. They simply charged me in increments of $600.00 without every really explaining why the amount was needed. In my opinion and observation, I was milked from thousands of dollars with the same promises of service but in the end the organization did not render the services that they promised.

I was systematically charged by online charging via bank account without ever receiving one receipt for my payments. I was emailed and told that work was completed but when I contacted the particular agency, they indicated nothing was done according to the promises that were made to me via email that I printed out. I was promised a refund, but later on this request was rescinded. I was told I would receive a statement of accounting of services and a refund, but I received neither in the last five months.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE KAMAU, DONT LIE

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

POSTED: Monday, September 06, 2010

DIOP KAMAU HAS VERY LITTLE CREDIBILITY, NOW THAT I HAVE OBSERVED HIM DEFRAUDING ME. I DO NOT HAVE ANY MENTAL ILLNESS AND NOR DOES MY FAMILY AND KAMAU HAS NO DOCUMENTATION PROVING HIS FALSE ALLEGATIONS. WHEN HIS FORMER CLIENTS REPORT THE INTERNET FRAUD HE SUBJECTS THEM TO, HE TRIES TO DISCREDIT THEIR TRUTHFUL CLAIMS, BY DEFAMING THEM, RATHER THAN FILING A SUIT AGAINST THEM TO DISPUTE THEIR CLAIMS. HE THINKS CONSUMERS ARE NOT INTELLIGENT TO SEE THROUGH HIS CONCOCTED STORIES, AND LISTEN TO FACTS FROM HIS FORMER CLIENTS, WHO HAVE NO REASON TO LIE AND WILL TESTIFY IN COURT IF NEEDED.

KAMAU HAS DEFINITELY DEFRAUDED ME OF $2844.00 WITHOUT RENDERING THE PROMISED SERVICES. THE EVIDENCE WILL COME OUT BEFORE THE JUDGE IN CIVIL COURT. HE LIKES TO LIE AND DISTORT INFORMATION, BUT ONE THING HE CANNOT CHANGE, IS THE FACT THAT HE BROKE THE LAW, IF HE WAS SOLICITING PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR SERVICES, WITHOUT A VALID AND EFFECTIVE PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS LICENSE IN NJ. THIS IS DECEPTIVE AND CRIMINAL. KAMAU SOMEHOW FEELS HE IS ABOVE THE LAW. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN MY MONEY, KNOWING HE WAS NOT A LICENSED PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR IN NJ NOR IS HIS ASSOCIATE THAT HE ASSIGNED TO MY CASE, IN 2008.  HE STILL HAS NOT PROVIDED ME ANY BILLING INVOICES OR STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING NOR RECEIPT FOR THE $2844.00 PAYMENT.  IN 2009, HE TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD PROCESS MY REFUND, BUT HE LIED, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY REFUND. AS A RESULT, I HAVE DECIDED TO FILE CIVIL ACTION AGAINST HIM IN NEW JERSEY COURTS. HE WAS EVADING THE SERVICE OF MY COMPLAINT AND SUMMONS. WHY DO YOU THINK HE WOULD DO THIS????  WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO HIDE, THE TRUTH? I WILL GO TO COURT WITH THE TRUTH AND GOD ON MY SIDE.

though this report was submitted anonymously it is Dennis Obado

AUTHOR: Kamau - (United States of America)

POSTED: Monday, January 25, 2010

You can read about Mr. Obado's complaint on our website in more detail but here is the short story. Dennis Obado was convicted of dealing drugs in New Jersey. He contacted our company in 2006 to report that he was being targeted by a gang called the Latin Kings. He also requested sophisticated recording equipment which was shipped to his home. After receiving the equipment he claimed that it did not work. When we requested that he return the equipment he refused. Obado then reported us to the FBI, DC and Florida Atty. Gen.'s office and several consumer websites as frauds. The one problem he has is a Federal Express shipping receipt showing that he took delivery of the items identified in his rebuttal. We also have photographs of the item before it was shipped. Obado is a mental case struggling with his identity and other issues beyond our capacity to help him. Like the police we deal with everyone sometimes that includes an occasional case with someone who is coping with a mental health concerns. We have encouraged Obado to seek mental health treatment along with his family. The family would not comment on his mental health condition. They implied that there were issues. we don't know what the truth is with Obado. One thing he is not is a ripoff victim. We will be posting more about Obado soon along with receipts and invoices.

POSTED: Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Diop Kamau,

I requested for a refund from your company on around October-November 2008. It is June 30, 2009 and I have not received the refund you promised. Instead you chose to retaliate against me for reporting this fraud to consumers at large. You still have not sent me the information that I paid for you to perform. I have not received any statement of accounting from your company and any receipts of payment.

I am requesting that you remove all information regarding me on your website and all other public websites. You are committing a crime by recording your threat to me on your website and knowingly inciting criminal organizations by posting false information about me on your website and information that I never gave you any consent to post on your website in violation of the below contract that you emailed me on March 7, 2008. You are also violating your own confidentiality agreement in this contract that you sent me by email below. You also charged me electronically by the suspicious link below and knowingly mailed me defective equipment on two different occassions and charged me $600.00 for this defective equipment:

WHAT DO THESE PEOPLE EVEN DO? WHAT DO THEY CLAIM THEY DO?

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

POSTED: Wednesday, April 15, 2009

$600 is a month's rent and some utilities for me!
IT IS A HELL OF A LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND FOR NOTHING.

I WOULDN'T SPEND THIS KIND OF MONEY FOR NOTHING.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WOULD AGREE TO SPEND IT AND NOT GET ANYTHING FOR IT.

IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE EXTORTION --OR THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY PROTECTION MONEY TO THE MOB. NOT GOOD.

WHY DID YOU AGREE TO PAY THIS MONEY?

WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU WERE GETTING?

THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE TO PAY MONEY FOR SOMETHING YOU CANNOT USE.
IS THIS PRE-PAID LEGAL INSURANCE OR SOMETHING?

WHY DO YOU WASTE YOUR MONEY?

IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.
