My husband and I have started a process serving business in Central Florida. After becoming licensed,we’ve visited over 200 attorney’s offices in the last three weeks with fliers, cards, etc. I’ve followed up with an individual email to each office manager. So far, we’ve had two phone calls. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the phone rings? BTW, I have a website up and running and our pricing in commensurate with the area.

I saw a junk cars for cash on a sign in Las Vegas. "We’ll pay you cash for your car" type thing. So we called and they were supposed to show up with a check in hand. However they picked up the car and were supposed to send a check. We waited 2 weeks before we were calling the company up wondering where the money was, only to find out that this company has no email to contact, is based in New Jersey, and apparently has more than one manager, one of which loves shouting at customers. In fact, they like to play games with that role. So finally, we got them to mail a check. The check however, when we tried to deposit it, said it was from an account with insufficient funds the next day. We’ve called and asked for our money for services rendered with nothing in return. Even mailed a copy of the insufficient check proof. It is now almost April, and this happened in October. We’ve contacted the Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs and still no help. This transaction was only for a hundred bucks, but that’s one hundred bucks that hasn’t been paid by a company. I believe that this company doesn’t think anything will be done to them for a claim this small. I’m hoping someone can direct me to a solution to our issue. Thanks.

I am a serious job seeker, and I am so sick of getting email from scams etc. some come across like a real job just to get my info etc. I am actually a recruiting expert, yet I am tricked by these liars just wanting my info resume etc with no real job to offer.

I sometimes can not tell the difference as good as I am.

What are your experiences and what do you do?

I won’t mention any names, but I play poker on one of the top 3, possibly top 2 online poker sites in the world and I finally have a fairly substantial cashout after years of playing without ever making a cashout. It may not be much by most players standards, but its over a thousand dollars and thats a heck of a lot of money to me. So after jumping through hoops attempting to verify my personal ID and bank account information in order to be approved to receive my cashout in the form of a check ( instead of one of the 4 or 5 other "options" they offer, non of which I find very trustworthy ), they have informed me out of the blue that they have closed my account. I was expecting the email to say something more along the lines of "your cashout has been approved and please allow 15 days for delivery". Needless to say I was very surprised. Then my surprise turned to anger when the follow up email said they are "seizing all of my funds" due to collusion with another player. I feel Im being nothing short of robbed since Ive never done anything remotely close to what they are accusing me of.

This other player they are referring to and I are indeed friends, we have played at tables together in the past, maybe 8 to 10 times out of friendly competition yet never to work together to win any money ( as Im certain records would indicate it would be very very rare to find he or I finishing in the top 3 during any of those 8 to 10 games, mostly because neither of us are very good players I guess ). Heres the part that upsets me the most. Im certain it has been well over a year, closer to two years since he and I have found ourselves on the same table either intentionally or by accident. I find it EXTREMELY ironic that they decide only now to close my account; 3 days after requesting a cashout and nearly 2 years after sitting at the same table with the player they accuse me of somehow cheating with. Our play at the same table together is obviously something they have had record of since the last time he and I have played together, like I said, well over a year- closer to two years ago. Yet they never said anything about it to me until now and gladly took deposit after deposit after deposit from me, only now raising an issue 3 days after requesting my first cashout.

Heres the problem I immediately find myself in at first glance: Online poker seems to still be operating in the wild wild west even though its been around for several years now. Its not something I can solve by simply having my attorney send a threatening letter or whatever. All the legal implications seem to reside in whatever dark shadow of a country they operate in. I feel like I am at a loss for any kind of defense to what they are accusing me of. And thats a terrible feeling, particularly knowing I have done nothing wrong. I plan on requesting records of the games he and I have played in together in and requesting proof of the outcome to prove he and I made virtually NO MONEY at any table we have both been sitting at together. But if they decide to ignore me, then Im at a loss of what to do next. Regardless, I was at 0 dollars in my account a month ago and now have over 1,000; all of these winnings being achieved in the past 30 days while the wrongdoing they are accusing me of took place a very long time ago. Should I not at least be entitled to my winnings of the past 30 days, even if they want me to refund any money I may have made while playing with this other player? That only seems fair.

Does anyone know of an agency which may loosely govern the online poker community which may give me some assistance in this matter? Is there anyone I can turn to for help? If not, can anyone refer me to a players organization or websites where I can share my experience and expose these people as criminals assuming they dont have a change of heart and listen to my appeals in the next few days. THANK YOU VERY MUCH YAHOO COMMUNITY FOR ANY HELP WITH THIS ISSUE!!!! I want to make sure this issue gets resolved and equally as importantly, I want to make sure this doesnt happen to anyone else.

If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions they would like to share with me off the record, or has any ideas as to how I can really get even with these people ( even though that will be my last plan of attack, after I have finally thrown in the towel and admitted defeat to something I am being wrongly accused of ) please please please send me an email at ronjon9000@yahoo.com and share your thoughts with me.
