The REal Estate Network And Scott Morris Unilateral material breach of contract, unfufilled promises on national radio to issue a of refund. Misrepresenations, threatening lawsuit ripoff, Austin Texas

First of all, I have discovered a mistake in the original report I filed. In that report, there is an incorrect date. The day I attended the promotional meeting where I met Mr. Morris and his partner, Matt Garcia, is stated as April 28, 2006.. The actual date of that meeting and when I first met Morris was April 8. 2006. I apologize for the typo.

Now regarding Morris's rebuttal. Not surprisingly, Mr. Morris is again misrepresenting the truth, and lying about actual events.

Morris states ?I can think of nothing more foolish than to keep someones money who has not received the goods.? Then he must be a fool by his own definition. Simply pay the refund. If he had done so, this all would have been avoided.

Morris further states, ?In our correspondence it clearly states how and when the refund will be paid.? Morris promised me through an e-mail that my refund would be delivered to me by May 13.

When I did not receive it by that date, I sent e-mails and phone calls over 5 days inquiring as to the status of the refund. Morris never had the courtesy to reply or give me an update as to the status of my refund. Only when the refund was 5 days over due and Morris had not answered my inquiries, did I call the radio show.

Regarding the actual radio show, Morris states ?By some miracle during my 30 minute layover I was able to call the show and get on the air to rebut his damaging comments. By the time I was off the air, Tom Martino was satisfied that ten days is not an unreasonable time to wait for a refund? Morris had been listening to the show because the radio show had notified TREN that their company was going to be discussed on the air.

Only once I was on the air did Morris call me and try to intimidate me. The radio show put me on hold. The miracle Morris must be reffering to is that during his harassing call to me I invited him to join me on the air.

The host, Tom Martino did not agree that his failure to issue a refund within 10 days was reasonable. Here is a transcript of part of that show: In no uncertain terms, Morris promises to issue my refund.

May 19, 2006 Trouble Shooter Radio Show with Tom Martino

TM = Tom Martino (radio show host)
DS = Dennis
SM = Scott Morris

TM Let's talk to Scott, Scott Morris

SM Yes, Hi Tom

TM Hi, what do you have to say sir?

SM Well, I'm disappointed Dennis has responded this way. Obviously we are, I am one of the founders, I am in Houston changing planes right now, so I promised him his refund. He requested it directly from me. I immediately put that request into our accounting department, and, uh, Dennis has not yet received his refund. I am going to look into it today myself and I'm going to make sure that refund takes place. That's all I can do Tom. I'm disappointed that , um, we've potentially lost some callers from the advertising we do on your show as a result of I believe the imbalanced, and the, and the, you know, the comments that Dennis might have made.

TM Well, all he said was, the only comments he made is that he paid for this seminar, you canceled it, and he called for a refund. And Dennis, did you say you did not yet get the refund? Right?

DS I have not yet received the refund and Scott promised me it would be here by last week.

TM And how long has it been?

DS I originally requested for a refund 2 weeks ago today on a Thursday.

SM OK. That is correct I believe those, those numbers are correct. I don't think that's unreasonable period of time to pass to get a refund. Try to get money from Continental Airlines. I've been working on that for 2 months. But Dennis, I promise you this, you'll have your refund. You'll have it lickety split. I'm going to be getting on the phone with my accounting department as soon as we get off the phone here together and I'm going to cut through all the process and proceed and make sure that that takes place. (end of transcript)

Morris in his rebuttal further states ? I promised Mr. Dennis on the air that I would find out the status of his refund and make sure it got expedited. The next day I learned that he has been all over the internet and trashing TREN.? Morris here blatantly lies.

The radio show was aired May 19. The only report I have posted on the internet is the original report I filed on ripoffreport.com. As you can verify at the top of this report, the original was submitted July 23, 2006, more than 60 days after the radio show, not the next day as Morris claims.

Any complaints I filed with the the Better Business Bureau, Attorney General offices and FTC were also more than 60 days after Morris made his promise on live national radio and then did not honor it.

Morris further states in his rebuttal referring to me ?He was out to hurt us and he did.? The reality is this, I am out ot get my money back and have been using available tools which I am in within my legal rights to use.

Had Morris at any time issued the the full refund he acknowledges owing prior to my taking these actions, I would not have taken them. I have better things to do with my time than spend it on a person and company of horrendous business practices who I wish to have nothing to do with.

Another incident indicates the abhorrent behavior of this man. In an e-mail to me dated June 26, 2006, Mr. Morris closes with this statement, ?Any further communication between you and I should be handled through our lawyers.?

Accordingly, I am now being represented by an attorney who sent Mr. Morris a letter dated July 5 informing Mr. Morris that I am now represented by an attorney. Despite this, Mr. Morris continues acting in bad faith and a disreputable manner bypassing the established channel of communication which Mr. Morris himself requested.

Despite knowing I am represented by an attorney, on Aug. 7, 2006, Morris called me directly at my home. At the beginning of his phone call I requested that he contact my attorney. Morris replied that he was not going to talk to any attorneys. The purpose of his call was to threaten withholding the $4719.00 balance he acknowledges owing me unless I remove the report I have posted on the internet. Here is the transcript of that call

Transcript of phone call from Scott Morris to Dennis Sullivan Aug. 7, 2006

Upon my answering the phone, Morris launched into a tirade. When able to break in, I asked that he talk with my atorney. He replied he was not going to talk to any attorneys. At that time I began recording.

ds I am recording this conversation

sm By all means, record it.

ds This conversation is being recorded.
I am asking you to talk with my attorney. I have an attorney who is representing me.

sm You got my message loud and clear.

ds Would you repeat that message please.

sm Yes, here's the message

Stop writing nast; things about us, nasty untrue things on the internet where it is real easy or you will end up having to prove those allegations in court and spend all your piddly a*s money fighting me for nothing. I've already promsed you your money back. You've already cashed the first check, OK, and you've agreed to accept the settlement terms that were in my letter which is your money back, which is what you want.

If you continue to go on the air on national radio and to post untrue satements about myself, my partner, and TREN, you will have to spend lots more money on attorneys defending yourself. OK. It's a lot more difficult to, uh, to defend your allegations in court where facts are required than to go and blab your mouth on a radio sation or web site. That's real easy. Any chicken s**t can do that. Alright.

So I'm asking you nice to do that. Take all the post down. You'll get your money. OK. Don't take the post down and then you can have your attorney send me more letters. OK.

Morris then hangs up. (end of transcript)

Mr. Morris and The Real Estate Network still owe me a refund balance of $4719.00. I will continue to pursue it. I thank other victims of this company and man who have participated in pursuing jusice through this site and other means.

I encourage all victims to file complaints with the Better Businsess Bureau of Austin Texas, the Attorney Generals of TX and the state where TREN conducted business with you, and the Federal Trade Commission.

Scott Morris - A convicted felon, a matter of public record, has lied to students all across America. His chosen method is to accuse the complainer of "damaging his business" and threatens people to go after them "through all possible legal means." This scares a lot of people into just backing off. Unfortunately, his scare tactics work in many cases; thus, people don't always report the actual harm caused by Scott Morris and Matt Garcia along with The Real Estate Network (TREN). They are nearing the end of this reign of terror as their many legal issues are bleeding their resources. If you have been threatened by Scott and feel you have been harmed, but are afraid to come forth -- take heart. They're almost out of money and Scotts threats are MEANINGLESS. He is full of lies and their business is as impotent as he is.

MY name is Scott A. Morris and I am one of the founders of the real estate network. My partner and I take enormous pride in what we do and it is painful to read and hear untrue statements about us and our company.

As with most lies, there is usualy an element of truth. This is true for Demmis's complaint. I want to thank Dennis for posting all of our correspondance for if you take the time to read them you will find the truth and see that TREN and I had every intention of refunding Mr. Dennis's money. I can think of nothing more foolish than to keep someones money who has not received the goods.

In our correspondance it clearly states how and when the refund will be paid. Through our internal accounting system I put in the request approximatley 7 days after meeting Mr. Dennis. When on day 10 he had not received his money in the mail he began a terror campain against me and my company.

On my way back home from Denver on this tenth day, I was changing planes in Houston when my phone rang and I learned that Mr. Dennis was on the air on the Tom Martino show in Denver trashing me and my company. By some miracle during my 30 minute lay-over I was able to call the show and get on the air to rebut his damaging coments. By the time I was off the air, Tom Martino was satisfied that ten days is not an unreasonable time to wait for a refund from any company and that an internet search had not revealed any negative press on me or my company.

I promised Mr. Dennis on the air that I would find out the status of his refund and make sure it got expedited.

The next day I learned that he has been all over the internet and trashing TREN. I called him and asked him to please stop this campaign to damage my company. He asked me if he could record the conversation, I replied "of course, just let me know when I can start talking again".

The terror did not stop, it only intensified, and after consulting with my lawyer I was advsed to refund his money in the mannar in which he paid it, in two installments. I sent the first check of $2000.00 which Dennis cashed. He still was not satisfied and continued to reak havock with the BBB, Texas AG, and other government agencies.

The damage that Dennis has done to my reputation, my partners reputation and that of my company is beyond repair. We can not regain the loss of revenue created by his campaign of terror, lies and exagerations and so we have decided to allow Mr. Dennis find his Justice in the court system. The reason we are taking this approach is because we feel that Mr. Dennis has done all the damage he can do. Now we will allow him to spend $30,000 pursuing a legal action against us that will drag on for two years and end up setteling in mediation. All parties lose, but at least we get our day in court to show that we are honerable and do what we say we are going to do. Mr. Dennis had unreasonable expectations about how long it takes to receive a refund.

You be the judge. Read our correspondance and tell me if our refund policy is unreasonable. Should we have been subjected to this kind of asault on our charachter? I don't think so. Mr. Dennis's money is safley in our company check book, and I'm ready to write that check as soon as a judge, a mediator, or some other authority who evaluates the evidance instructs me to. In the meantime, my position is that Mr. Dennis got way more then his $4719.00 worth by costing us at least $50,000 in lost revenue as a result of his misleading, untrue, unfair and unkind statements. As far as I can tell, this is what he was after so he should be happy with his result.

He was out to hurt us and he did. All of you reading this have all my contact information, this too has been furnished to the world by Mr. Dennis. I would welcome some objective responses to our disagreement.

I thank you for taking the time to read my rebutal.

Thanks, and all the best,

On July 28, 2006 I received a check fo $2000.00 with a letter from Mr. Morris stating "Enclosed you will find a check for $2000.00 as our first payment torard your full refund of $6719.00. We prefer to put this matter behind us by paying you off in the same manner that you pid us."

The manner I had paid them was with 2 certified checks, the first one for $2000.00 April 18, and the second payment was 8 days later, April 26 for $4719.00. According to the terms Mr. Morris stated in his letter, he should send the second payment via cerified check 8 days after he sent the first payment.

As of today, the 2nd payment has not been received by me, it is now 12 days since I received the first payment.
