Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I met Adam Alfia the president/manager of all these shell scam companies. solely designed to rip off his employees, vendors and public 15 years ago. At the time he was owner/ manager of an auto repair company called Europa. We had several conversations about how bad the business was doing. I tried to explain to him like Father to son you couldn't continue selling old rebuilt parts to customers and passing them off as new. He told me he should just burn the place down, so he did.

After it was burned to the ground for insurance I thought maybe I should stay away from this guy and we parted company, (NOT MY CUP OF TEA). I came across Mr. Alfia again in 2006 at an auto repair company called Overseas Autohaus in Dallas TX he had opened 3 locations and seem to be in a pretty good way so we sat and talked a while about his business. Nothing had changed scamming the public was this guys M.O. He charges the public for new parts and installs used old parts, just enough to get the customer off his property after payment was made.

Many times I sat in his office and warned him of the consequences of his actions. The almighty dollar prevailed once more as I watched him cheat the working man time after time. 50-60 lawsuites sitting atop his desk waiting foir the infamous Adam answer for claims of unjust and ill repairs lasting a day and costing a fortune. The IRS is at his back door now for fraud and stealing over $500,000.00 in unclaimed cash revenue. Adam found an unsuspecting gentlemen of his criminal activities to purchase his Overseas business and with a false set of financials and rigged books the business was sold. It didn't take long and the business was broke.

With far less revenue coming in than what was claimed at the sale it was impossible for the gentlemen to keep the business afloat. Reducing the sales price from $ 7.5 million dollars to $ 500,000.00 it still wasn't enough to keep the business going. A suit was filed by the unsuspecting buyer against Adam Alfia and pending in the courts today. The complaint is public and I have reviewed the merit of the suit, it is what is described here fraud, theft, lieing, cheating, stealing all of which describes Adam Alfia like a piece of clay to a potter. Adam received a custom home as partial down payment for the business with a $ 1,300,.000.00 balance on the home Adam moved the family in.

Understanding this guy like I do the residency wasn't a long term plan. The default was immediate and the home was stripped of all it's furniture,fixtures and flair. Need I say his current residence has the finest appliances money can buy (OR STEAL). Adam then went into what he called a business selling air( Maestro/MyStar ). People would pay for a service on a monthly basis like onstar, except Onstar had people to answer the phones. I asked him how he lived with himself he said our customers don't care if anyone answered the phone, just as long as they could tell their customers they had it. I wonder if outside Adams world if anyone out there felt this way. ( I couldn't find anyone to concur).

When the income was short Adam walked his lease and went into default with his landlord. Locating another property located at 3410 Midcourt Dr Carrollton Tx 75006 and managed by the Bradford group the scheming started at a whole new level. Adam created a bogus construction company and ripped the new landlord for $90,000 cash within 4 months Adam was being sued for non payment of rent. I have serveral dealer friends and they tell me how they wish they could replace Adams company with someone that cares about the customer.

In December 2008 Adams Electricity was disconnected for a $12,482.54 electric bill not being paid. No problem he switched providers no more bill. This is Adam enough said. The air compressor went out in our building, instead of going and purchasing one like normal business people he stole one from the building next door roof top. When the landlord requested the Maintenance agreement assuring that the landlords property was being maintained on the A.C. units he created a bogus contract and wala. You didn't think Adam was going to spend Adams money maintaining someone elses property like his lease agreement that he signed and agreed to did you?? your not reading close enough.

This is where it gets good, Adams employees have company benefits;; right??? well sort of. He tells you when you come aboard as an employee you get full insurance the catch is you can't use it. Thats because he took your insurance money out of your paycheck and bought his wife a Q56 Infinity for cash. And your insurance has lapsed. ( OUCH ) isnt that criminal? yes it is and now AFTER 48 COMPLAINTS FROM EMPLOYEES the Labor board is all over him for $ 124,000 stolen from his employees.

I feel for companies like Ford Motor Company, VT, Sonic Group, Penske, Easy Care these companies pay good money to Adams company for services he can't provide at times Maestro/MyStar have one person answwering the phones. He has all of them fooled, his brother Kfir is a wizard with phones so all the important people are coded and when they call they get immediate response (nobody is the wiser). And when a paying customer calls they are on hold for over 20 minutes, thats not uncommon for this company. I called in the other day to make my point 32min later the phone was still playing music on hold. By then I had already reached my destination. GO FIGURE''.

Complaints come in every day I wish someone would just arrest this guy and close his company for good. Adams largest account was generated by me which is the reason for my complaint? you guessed it I sold a contract for Adam that brings him in $50,000 a month my contract calls for 30% commission it's been a year he still hasn't paid me. I was thinking if I expose him and your a paying client youll terminate your relationship and I will feel like I gave something back.

Thank you for listening

#2UPDATE EX-employee responds

Mon, August 10, 2009

Peppe forgot to mention the questionable working conditions at any of the locations that any of his Maestro/MyStar employees have worked. You would think that a call center that was open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week would have something like a security card used to enter and exit the building or that the backdoor would at least be locked. You would be wrong. For a little while, you couldn't unlock the back door. Then, you couldn't lock it. Then, he drilled a hole in the door and installed the cheapest lock he could find. But, it's okay, because now the call center is safe. Forget that there is one person working there at 3 AM in the morning with no one else in any adjacent building in the strip. What about the front door? It's okay, though, right? Yup, the front door is great. It looks just fine. The front door leading into his call center where his employees are uses a cheap battery operated thumbprint recognition system. It looks really cool. It doesn't do a thing for protection. It's just a bolt lock that uses a thumb print. When the battery dies, anyone can get in anyway. When he first moved into this newest building, the place wasn't ready yet. But, he had to get out of the other place or face the property managers. So, they all arrived before final approval had been made by the building inspectors for Carrolton. Instead of telling his staff to stay home for two days, he had a lookout set up to see when the inspector came. When the inspector was on his way, Adam had his employees log out of their work stations and run outside and along the side of the building to stay out of the inspectors line of sight. Did I mention one of his employees was a woman on a walker and it was the middle of the Texas summer? The bathrooms weren't done either, and there was construction material all over the ground for weeks after the employees moved in. For a while, there was no handicapped stall. Nothing in his office is really handicapped accessible now except for the bathroom stalls. His father is in charge of cleaning because Adam is too cheap to pay for a professional service. Adam subleases a portion of building to another company. For almost two weeks, someone had defecated in one of the bathroom stalls and smeared it all over the toilet. No one bothered to clean it up on the cleaning crew. In fact, the bathrooms are disgusting because nothing gets cleaned. Adam actually wired most of the office himself. He's not a real electrician. Aside from the fact her zapped himself on numerous occasions while rigging the place up, the wiring left an electrical buzzing sound for months when the lights were off. I haven't been there in a couple of months, and I'm amazed everyday that I stayed as long as I did. There are some people who lasted a lot longer than I did before, and some people are still there. It's not really about employee safety at Maestro. It's about how many corners Adam can save before someone files an grievance about the unsafe working conditions at his place. When they do, I'm sure Adam will have something great to say to explain everything away. He always does.
