Texas Certification Directory, INC Jamie Demericus Owner became extremey beligerant and abusive over email when I asked questions about the certification. He said and I quote: "Go somewhere and play games" and that I was "attempt[ing] to play ignorant with a sneak attack." He even used bullying tactics threatening to deny my company a Texas Certification. The email communication was simply baffling and unbelievable and instantly sounded my internal fraud alert!

Jamie Demericus from the Texas Certification Agency, INC became extremely beligerant and abusive over email communication and even used bullying tactics when I attempted to ask questions about the certification service his company was offering.

I called the number on the Texas Certification Agency, Inc. website (which went directly to voicemail) I followed the instructions and left a message for them to call me back. This never happened. However, I did receive an email with detailed information.

The drama began when I responded to the email and asked a few questions about their services even thanking them for the documents. What happened next was unbelievable. I received an email which stated and I quote:

"We're not going to play games with you...If you wanted to sign-up for a Consultation, you should have signed-up for a Consultation...You are not going to...attempt to play ignorant with a sneak attack in search of  Consultation as a tactic to play between the two services. Go somewhere and play games: We do not play games here...we are quick to take legal actions against companies that do not adhere to their contractual commitment.
This is not going to be a relationship of email communique..."

My first thought was that this had to be a joke! First of all, no where on their website does it advertise signing up for a consultation. And while their voicemail message states that they will call you back, I have yet to receive a phone call from them to this day.

I was shocked and baffled by the abusive and threatening tone in Mr. Demericus' email and instantly suspected a fraud. I emailed the Secretary of State and filed an official complaint citing abuisive and bullying business tactics. Meanwhile, I contacted the Minority Business Development Agency US Department of Commerce and they whole-heartedly confirmed my suspicions of fraud of the company owned by Mr. Demericus.
