Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

EDITOR’S COMMENT(5/2/2018):  Ripoff Report strongly believes in the First Amendment, especially when consumers are truthfully warning other consumers about potential frauds, scams, rip-offs or the like by shady individuals or businesses.  Ripoff Report is by consumers, for consumers…and we want to keep it that way!  Unfortunately this Report was posted and, upon additional information, appears to have been primarily for the purpose of bullying or harassment.  In many instances Ripoff Report will reach out to the author of the Report to obtain further information.  In other instances, enough information is provided to Ripoff Report to warrant redactions without reaching out to the author.  Ripoff Report is working to combat tactics that are perceived to be cyberharassment, cyberstalking, cyberbullying and/or what is generally considered a “revenge post” as we do not condone such behavior. 

The Report was brought to our attention and, upon review of compiled information (which will be done on a case by case basis without any obligation as resources allow), and at Ripoff Report’s sole discretion, information that did not conform to current policies and/or the identifying information relating to the individual(s) and/or business(es) named in this “Report” and any subsequent comments thereto have been editorially redacted as indicated by the following “(((REDACTED)))” or (((REDACTED DUE TO PERCEIVED HARASSMENT / REVENGE POST)))”.

CONSUMERS:  Be kind.  Keep it honest.  Keep it fair.  Stick to the facts.  Do your rese-arch.  Keep the dirty laundry in the laundry hamper…not on Ripoff Report.

PLEASED TO SEE SUCH EFFORTS?  YOU CAN HELP RIPOFF REPORT COMBAT THESE TYPES OF ISSUES:  Ripoff Report, as resources allow, is working towards combatting Cyberharassment, Cyberstalking, Cyberbullying and/or other problems such as what is generically called “revenge posts” that can be riddled with personal commentary and/or allegations that can be serious.   Ripoff Report would love to be able to timely address each and every review request we receive, however, this takes resources.  If you think this is a worth-while endeavor, we encourage you to make a donation so that we can expand the resources that we can devote to this project.  You can make a non-tax deductible donation by clicking HERE NOW or learn a little more by visiting our “Donate to our Efforts” page.  The more resources we have, the more resources we can devote to this project and other forward thinking and positive initiatives like it.

Thank you!

NOW TO THE EDITORIALLY REDACTED POSTING(S):

 

I was engaged in buying a FedEx route business with a refundable deposit of 10k. (((REDACTED))) cancelled the binding agreement the next day. When I poliotely requested a refund of the deposit he became belligerent and combative making threatening comments. He also list that he is a member of the BBB and he is not let alone the other logos he is claiming affiliation with. More FRAUD! Please do your own due diligence.

We are not refunding your $10,000 deposit as we have told you that it was non refundable, just like the contract states. We are much more interested in suing you for the damages you have caused that far exceed $10,000.

We have retained legal counsel and are now pursueing a Fraud & Defamation case against you and Kristine Griffin.

Clarifying the omitted facts to ALL,,,,(((REDACTED)))

The 10k deposit I WIlliam Sassman originally deposited had always been re-assigned since 2017 to the multiple purchase agreements that occured up until Jan 15, 2018. The spirit of the sale has always been continually affirming the original deposit I made on May 8, 2017. I would not send a 10k deposit and then inform everyone of my past. On April 2017 is when the facts about my past had been communicated abundenetly clear and known on a conference call with(((REDACTED))) unrelated to you and this transaction. No one at that time complained orally nor in writting since regarding the deposit nor my background except you (((REDACTED))). You (((REDACTED))) being in the business of selling FedEx routes and SBA loans for years should have stopped me from pursing this deal and returned my deposit once I informed you of my background. Instead you allowed me to find a viable borrower and then cancelled the sale 11 months when the Lender requested needed documents from the seller or return the deposit to us. This is when you became volitile and very hostile later claiming a new deposit was reguired while relisting the the purcahse price for nearly 100k reduction rather than sell to the approved buyer Kristine where I would work with her as a contractor. Nothing illegal there (((REDACTED))). You used verbiage towards me "I told you ten fu*king times,,,," I sent this text message to the lender and this is when you tried to discredit my name for exposing your unporfessional behavior. What is the game here? To sell a business for less than an agreed higher amount to someone else when we had a signed deal? This makes no sense! What a slap in the face to us, the sellers, and you! AFter reaching out to the sellers, to save this deal neither Breakey's responded to this day. Are you threatening them as well if they respond to us?? I beleive so. Seems strange when Dan Breakey reached out to me on May 3, 2017 on 703am on FaceBook breaking the NDA cannot speak to me now. A normal seller would have at that time canceled relations with you and sell the business to us without your destructive behavior.

We have kindly asked for the deposit in writing to no avail. We are now forced to file a case in small claims court for $10,000.00 that you forced us to pursue legal action due to your wilful denial. Seems you are in the business of keeping deposits. Have you not learned from your past thefts and mistakes?  Sacramento small claims case 18SC00488 Griffin vs. Breakey 4-13-2018 Dept 86 at the Carol Miller Justice Center. 

My complaint against you is NOT to slander smear, but merely to bring light and the facts before the public. Again, I want the deposit back! You claim in the above response I derserve a "second chance" well then return my depsoit and I can move on. Since rip off report saves everything on this site, We certainly would indemnify your wrong doing as Steve stated in this string when you returned his deposit. How are we any differnt? Please return the deposit and I will report this truth and stop the small claims case as well. Equally remove the report you wrote obout Kristine Griffin where you signed the author as William. That is an outright lie and defamation of her character towards someone who did nothing wrong to you (((REDACTED))).  

FYI: I am willing to speak to anyone and provide any proof of my claims if requested. I have an open door and very transperant poilcy. I welcome and implore anyone's correspondence on this matter.  

This link below has letters of recent education  I shared with (((REDACTED))) in April 2017 and the sellers that obvious shared my level of rectitude from some righteous people. (((REDACTED))) has admitted seeing this link and said that information assisted ALL parties feeling comfortable moving forward with me.

 (((REDACTED))) or(((REDACTED))) is an unethical creep. He also held up my 10,000. Deposit. After freely comunicating directly with the Fedex route seller for several weeks, even meeting in person, the seller was unable To produce the routes ( no fault of mine) (((REDACTED))) manipulated the issue, saying I could not speak to HIS client or it would breach the agreement and forfeit my 10,000.!!! After google searching him I discovered his many unethical business dealings. He was convicted of several crimes and had his license suspended for some time. He has no business holding a brokers license, he's an unethical thug. Thankfully the seller was honest and emplored him to give my $$ back. Stay away from this bad guy!

Deposit is non refundable after due diligence period

#8REBUTTAL Owner of company

Wed, February 21, 2018

Attached is a copy of the offer to purchase contract signed by William Sassman.  As it states the deposit becomes non refundable after May 21, 2017. We continued to work with William Sassman for 5 months in an attempt to allow him to purchase the business. The main issue William Sassman was not able to purchase is that he is a a Convicted Felon.  oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/mastermind-multi-million-dollar-ponzi-scheme-sentenced-18-years-prison.

While we believe that a person deserves a second chance at a  new life, Fedex does not allow convicted Felons to own or drive for Fedex. Further more the SBA will not loan to a convicted Felon. William Sassman the buyer did not dislcose this until after May 21, 2017. As a courtesy we continued to work with him, as he tried to find an investor or partner to purchase the business.

His Girlfriend Kristine Griffin agreed to purchase the business on his behalf. Kristine however did not put down a $10,000 deposit as she so claims in this complaint. After 5 months my sellers grew frustrtated with William Sassman and his inability to purchase on his own & decided they no longer wanted to sell.

We feel this complaint is nothing more than an attempt to Slander our business, as a method to make us refund the money. We would be willing to refund the money if Kristine agreed to remove this false complaint and others she has posted, however Ripoff Report does not allow complaints to be removed. So this complaint will cause our business and its reputation damage for years, regardless of its false slander.

Attached is a copy of the offer clearly identifying the deposit is non refundable. I have also included a copy of the check signed by William Sassman, Not Kristine Griffin providing proof that she never made a deposit herslef & that we do not owe her a refund.

action against scammers

#10Consumer Suggestion

Tue, January 30, 2018

It is frustrating to see how these scammers are preying on innocent people and exploiting their needs. I can recommend a private investigation agency 'Wilsons Detectives'. They consider taking a class action against people or businesses that are complained about. They aim to help clients and people who have been affected by frauds/scams and help them recover their money. I have used them myself, they are well experienced (over 66 years), well reputed and serve worldwide. If you need more information and would like their help visit detectiveswilsons.com/ or email [email protected].

(((REDACTED))) is (((REDACTED))) site along with (((REDACTED)))

All he has to do is re-pay the 10,000.00 deposit and all of this can go away.
