I called eric on his cell phone about 6 months ago and when he realized why i was calling he became irate and verbally abusive and told me that it was only $300 and that i should just get over it. he was still in las vegas area at that time. your best bet is if you paid via credit card dispute the charge as soon as possible and contact your better business bureau as soon as you can to report his most up to date scam information. this guy has been getting away with this for years and will never be caught with the absence of action.

Hello, After reading your report I'm finding myself in the same situation as you, but with a different "customer service representative". As I was reading your report, it was as if I was writing it myself. Too many simularities.... I was wondering if you ever received your money back and what advise you could give me. Thanks, Heather

I called Eric on his cell and he answered a little confused. when he asked who i was i told him I was somebody who wanted their $300 and he started swearing at me and I just told him that his rude words could not affect I just want my money back and he tried to go on and say that he was just an employee of the company and that he didn't work for them anymore. (BS) when i asked for the companys name phone and address he just started swearing again. I did a mild people search and found a few promising leads. there is an Eric Stewart Hopkins age 36 living in Las Vegas, NV. I found this info using a reverse phone lookup based on the cell number. We should probabally hold off on calling it though cause he may change it. I'm shocked he hasn't changed it yet really!
