Snomaster USA - Todd Tredeau - Fraud and Fridges Austin Texas

My Snomaster 82D went to s*** within a year. Got it at an expo it was out of package and kinda look used but the guy in their booth Todd said it was brand new and said it had a warranty. I should have known this weird man was full of it but the product seemed solid. I tried to get a new one through warranty and come to find out Todd Tredeau isnt even the actual owner of Snomaster USA he just calls himself the owner of Snomaster USA. Snomaster is a South Africa company and this guy is selling their fridges as if he represents them in the US but they dont even recognize him as a US distributor. Looks like none of the fridges are covered. - Did some research on this scam artist and looks like hes been a scam artist for a while! His last company (EMO Corp.) stole $2+ Million from its investors then he filed bankruptcy to avoid paying up.

Anyone who defends this little con man got a free fridge from him since he hands them out like cupcakes for promotional use but make no mistake this guy is a fraud. Snomaster South Africa needs to put an end to this guy before he ruins their brand.

Below is some more info on this con artists history as a business man

AUSTIN – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has obtained an asset freeze and emergency approval for a court-appointed receiver to take over the operations of unlicensed Austin-based online payment service EMO Corp.

The company and its officers, Todd L. Tredeau, Tracey Jones and Nancy C. Humphries cannot fully account for more than $5.4 million that consumers placed into their accounts. The companys books show they have only $3 million cash on hand, which means EMO cannot account for $2.4 million belonging to its customers. The officers failed to register with the Texas Banking Department and obtain a license as a money services business, as required by law.

These officers must account for their outrageous mismanagement of consumers money, which they promised would be secure, said Attorney General Abbott. The court appointment of a receiver to seize control of this companys assets will provide an opportunity to determine where this money has gone.

The companys Web site, www.emocorp.com, touts the service as a safe way to conduct financial transactions online, as a service to assist consumers who are recent victims of fraud and businesses that handle payrolls.

Consumers who open accounts with online payment services can deposit money into their accounts via credit cards or bank transfers and expect instant access to their accounts. The consumer uses the service to send or receive money to and from other members via electronic transfers. According to information given to the Department of Banking by EMO Corp., the company has a current customer base of 17,000 nationwide, with 6,000 of these in Texas.

The Banking Department denied EMO a license for failure to meet minimum net worth requirements of $500,000 and other statutory requirements. Furthermore, according to the companys own financial statements presented to the Department of Banking, the company is insolvent.

Upon investigation following the asset freeze, the Attorney General will seek restitution to any consumer harmed by these transactions, as well as civil penalties and attorneys fees.
