McDonalds Restaurant sells a Big Mac with blood of their employees in it!

2009-11-01T13:50:00.000-05:00

I went to Mc Donald's located at:
1070 Major MacKenzie Dr. E
Richmond Hill, ON.
Tel 905-508-9550
Fax 905-508-9550

I went through drive-through and ordered a big mac combo, then I went home and started eating it, later when I was half way done I noticed some blood on the bun of the burger, I was very disgusted.

it was blood 100%, I even put a sample of it under microscope and I saw the red blood cells, I also sent it out to a private lab for testing.

Regardless whether it was human blood, animal blood, whether the blood had any disease or not, McDonalds should be very careful when preparing foods, they should NOT serve food with blood.

I called the public health unit for the Richmond Hill area to report this, and I couldn't believe the response they gave me! They said even if there was blood on the food I got from them there is nothing the public health can do, the only thing they can do is go to inspect the restaurant to check if employees wash their hands properly and some other checks, public health said they can't force their inspectors to check employee hands for cuts etc.. As its beyond their job duties.

Obviously when public health visits a restaurant, employees will wash their hands in front of the inspector frequently just for show, public health should also review cameras, listen to customer complaints and based on customer complaints they should take action.

I did some research on google using the search terms McDonalds blood, also tried searching McDonalds found blood, or I found blood McDonalds, and I found many posts and complaints about people having the same issue with McDonalds.

Some people sued McDonalds for this, and I urge people to do this, under no circumstances there should be blood found in food!

I'm not sure if it was a prank done by an employee there at that McDonalds or not, but that is not a joke and its very disgusting to have blood on your big mac, and what if they had put the blood on places you can't even notice and see? Such as the meat?

After I saw the blood on my bigmac, I immediately felt very sick and started throwing up, I was so disgusted.

I couldn't sleep all night, I was worried that there might have been a disease or HIV in that blood, and when I spoke to my doctor my doctor said HIV could take up to 6 months to show in the blood, what am I going to do now?? Wait 6 months and worry this whole time??? This is insane.

When I spoke to Public Health about this, they said even if I were to consume blood that has HIV, I would not get HIV, then I asked them how can they be so sure??, what if I have cuts in my mouth? Or if I have a cut in my gums? Or any cuts in my stomach or anywhere that I don't feel or see? They said then yes you might get the HIV if you have this.

What bothers me is some people don't use their head sometimes and don't think properly, this is a very serious issue, people need to worry about this a lot and be careful, just because you don't feel any pain doesn't mean you don't have any cuts or open sores, just because you don't see it doesn't mean its not there!!!!!

I feel that McDonalds should compensate me for what they did to me.

I was given a phone number for a person named Steve @ 905-447-6506 who claims to be the manager at this location, I spoke to him and he asked me if I could give him the sample of this bigmac so he can send it out to a private lab McDonalds deals with, I told him that once I give him the sample then I will no longer have the evidence! That would be the stupidest thing to do! If McDonalds asks you to give them the sample, never ever do this, if you do then you basically destroyed all the proof.

I called him after I had the sample tested and he started loosing his temper and started being very rude to me and said that he will not be able to help me because I already made the decision to go to a third party private lab.

Steve is a crook, if he was a normal fair business man, he wouldn't be acting and treating his customers like this.

I will definitely never eat at any McDonalds ever again, I will consider asking for this post to be removed if McDonalds apologizes for what happened to me and offers me a fair compensation.

Voicent Communications www.voicent.com Horrible story

2009-10-29T16:51:00.001-04:00

If you are thinking of purchasing a software from voicent.com think again!

Voicent is a scam, don't purchase any of their products listed below:

Auto Reminder

Broadcast by Phone Auto dialer

Agent Dialer Predictive Dialer + Power Dialer

FlexPBX Auto Receptionist

IVR Studio interactive voice response system

Telephony CRM Customer information management

Text to speech TTS Plug in (Paul and Kate)

Broadcast by Email

Voicent gateway

Here is why you shouldn't buy from them, and if you don't believe me, call them and ask them this and they see what they tell you:

Normally companies give you free software updates but voicent doesn't! call voicent.com at 1-800-948-1198 or 408-260-5811 and ask them if they will provide you with updates free of charge and they will tell you NO.

Also, their software has a lot of bugs, it kept on crashing for me, so when you find out that their software doesn't run properly and then you try and ask them for a refund they will refuse your refund request.

And, if you plan to get rid of your computer and buy another computer, then the original license code they provided you with will no longer work on the new computer, therefore you have to pay an upgrade fee of $250 !!!!!!!!

Believe it or not, this is true! if you don't believe me, call voicent and ask them yourself.

Don't waste your time and look for another dialer software other than voicenet.

Lantis Designs

2009-10-18T01:34:00.000-04:00

Becareful when trying to deal with a person name Lantis on getafreelancer.com and other freelance websites.

His profile is located at https://www.getafreelancer.com/users/234517.html

his email address is lantisdesigns@gmail.com

http://lantis.carbonmade.com/

He took my money and then he submitted a crappy design to me, not even close to the sample of designs he had presented me at first! he scammed me.

And now it's almost impossible to get a hold of Lantis, I have messeged Lantis several times and they failed to respond to me, it looks like they are ignoring all my messages.

Before I paid Lantis I asked.. what if I don't like the design that they provide me with?, Lantis said "Simple. I just need to recreate another one...and another...until you are satisfied :) "

Obviously it's a lie, Lantis is ignoring me now.

I will go ahead now and file for a dispute/chargeback with my credit card company.

Don't do any business with Lantis Designs, they will take your money and run away!

Below you will find the proof conversation history between me and Lantis:

Before I paid you, you said "Simple. I just need to recreate another one...and another...until you are satisfied :) "

I advised you that im not satisfied with the card you designed, the card you designed me doesn't compare to the samples of work you showed me, so it makes me think that possibly you may have used samples of work of other designers instead.

I emailed you several times and its so hard to get a hold of you, until now you have not replied.

if you don't reply and provide me with a decent design that im looking for then I will have no choice but to write a review on here and publiccomplaints.org and I will also have no choice but to withdraw the money I sent you as I do need to pay someone else this money to design me the card.

respond to me asap.

I don't know if I was scammed or not, I have not heard anything from you, you should at least contact me and let me know what's going on so I don't assume that I got scammed.

If I don't hear back from you today, I will have no choice but to chargeback the payment I sent you and post my review on getafreelancer and publiccomplaints.org about my experience with you, please understand why im saying this, if you were in my position you would feel the same when someone just takes the money and doesn't answer.

My Sushi Restaurant

2009-10-17T22:12:00.000-04:00

My Sushi Japanese Restaurant
Valleymede and Hwy 7
420 Hwy 7 E
Richmond Hill, ON.
(905) 763-1388

I came here on a Saturday with some friends and it wasn't that busy, We ordered the following food:

Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura
Green Dragon Rolls
California Rolls
Crab Rolls
Chicken Teriyaki
Beef Ribs
Miso soup
Japanese fried rice
Fried Mixed Vegetables

15 mins later they brought me a little bit of food of some california rolls and green dragon rolls that I ordered, over an hour and a half passed by and they still didn't bring the rest of the food.

Its the restaurant fault for not hiring enough people to work on Saturday, this is really crazy, they bring a bit of food 15 mins after you order and they make you wait over an hour until they bring you the rest.

By the time they brought the rest of food I was already full and lost my appetite, I'm sure everyone understands that if you eat a bit of sushi and wait an hour then by that time the rice had extended in the stomach and then you would feel full by then :) and not just sushi, any food you eat and wait hours after you will then feel full and won't be able to continue and enjoy the rest of the food.

And this was what exactly had happened.

Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura doesn't take forever to cook, only 3 minutes! And it took over an hour and a half for them to prepare.

I can tell you for sure 100% that I will never EVER come back to My Sushi ever again, and I will not recommend My Sushi to anyone.

If you have any comments please feel free to leave them below.

Thank you.

DHL is a SCAM

2009-10-09T18:56:00.001-04:00

DHL double charged me, I paid by credit card and when they delivered to me, the driver asked for COD otherwise he won't release the package.

I called my credit card company and ask them to charge back the payment which is $10.

I'm not happy with the way their system is setup, the driver should have been notified on time so he doesn't take another payment! I made the original payment by credit card 24 hrs before it was delivered so that was supposed to be enough time to notify the driver, maybe they do this on purpose sometimes to scam people, who knows! I cancelled my account with DHL.

2009-09-17T00:51:00.001-04:00

Don't use webhostingtalk.com , there are many bad hosting companies listed there such as HiVelocity and Hostmist, and when you post your review about these hosting companies on webhostingtalk, the moderators of WHT web hosting talk will delete these postings if these postings are against these companies and then suspend your account!

I think these hosting companies pay webhostingtalk.com off so they can hide away all negative complaints about these hosts.

Don't waste your time and don't use webhostingtalk.com

I spoke to Tommy at the Tech dept. of this company, and asked him why did velocity shut down our website? and he did not know why exactly.. he just said that some site in our server was spamming and that was it.. he did not have info on which site it was exactly, he looked into it and he did not find the info why, he tried to contact the abuse dept. and he was not able to, I advised him that we need access to download the backups and he said
yes no problem but he doesn't know when and how long it will take until velocity gives us access to download it.
I had requested access 2 days ago to download the backups after they terminated the server and till now they have not given me access and all my customers are complaining that their site is down!!!

Never ever trust or do business with Velocity Web Hosting, they will make you wait and wait and at the end your customers will hate you, take my advise and go with a better more professional company.

I paid this company for proxy services and their service did not work for me, I asked them to cancel and refund me and they promised that they will but they never refunded me, instead, they kept on billing me!, they charged my credit card for 3 months use even though I requested them to cancel and refund me within the first week!!!

I should have never trusted them because they don't accept paypal, they only want you to give them your credit card number, if they accept paypal then you can go to paypal and there is an option there where you can cancel the subscription but if you give them your credit card number then you're stuck with them!

Never ever trust and do business with uniqueinternetservices.com

Unique internet services is a scam, their service doesn't work, and when you email them they ignore your email, they don't respond to you at all.

And after you pay them it takes them 2 weeks till they setup your account!!!

you cant just do this to me this is very unfair, you shut it down without even telling me?????? this is very unfair and you did not give me any notices.

you have two options, either send me the login information within 2 hrs from now or:

I will file for a case on bbb.org and to the local general attorny office, postings on internet blogs, and file for a chargeback dispute on the last payment you were sent from my credit card.

2 hrs countdown starts now.

Was this reply helpful? YES NO MODERATELY

First of all we sent you 15 notices via email invoice. Secondly, this invoice was available for you to see the entire month that the payment was due in your GlowHost account manager.

We have sent notices, many of them, and quite honestly, even if they did not arrive, this would be our fault why? You have the invoice available online in your account manager so it is always available and finally, you should already know your renewal date. If you claim that you never received warning about your water or electric bill, do they shut you off? Yes, they do and there is no difference in this case.

I can tell you that if you decide to charge back and slander or libel our name there will be monetary and legal ramifications.

Firstly you are threatening to chargeback monies for services that were already rendered, simply because you never paid a bill that was due to us, and you lost your account for it. How would that be fair to make me pay for your server for the services we already rendered you? First it is unethical, second it is illegal. If we see a chargeback first I am sending this account to collections for both payments, plus the $75 early termination fee, plus the $35 collections fee all outlined in the Terms of Service agreement. What you have paid now and forgot to pay will be collected, plus fees, and the ever-so-fun process of having a collections agency ring your phone all day and night until they have the money.

If our collection attempts fail we will be seeing you in Florida, for the legal proceedings since among other things, (like making your payment on time to avoid loss of services) you have agreed to this as part of your contract. Any and all legal venes will be held in Florida. So then you get to buy yourself a nice airline ticket to Florida just to be told that you owe us the money, and now you will have a criminal record. The word is fraud and do you know what happens to fraudsters? They cannot vote, and they cannot own a firearm. Employers who do a background check on you will see you as a fraudster, and you wont get any good jobs. We will also be seeking treble damages for the unpaid payment. Treble means 3x what the original bill was worth, We wont have a problem getting a favorable judgment for those treble damages, the fraud judgment would simply be icing on the cake... Do you really want to go this route?

Maybe none of this is important to you but I can tell you if I see a charge back I will see this ticket escalated to collections, then to law enforcement, then to a judge so lets not do something stupid.

As for the forums, go ahead, any publicity is good publicity. We did nothing wrong other than take back our property which you were not paying for, which was more than a month late.

as for the BBB, I will show them this ticket and your account history. They are not going to do anything anyways. They have to have numerous complaints on the same company and you would be the first one to do it since 2002 so they are going to see that it is an isolated case from an unreasonable person who is clearly upset for not taking the necessary actions to prevent loss of service, and nothing else.

If you would like another server we can set you up with one but your original server has already been formatted and resold so it would be more than 2 hours to get logins to you.

Hello Alex,

Did you want to go with the same hardware configuration and hostname?

The initial payment is for the first month's hosting and to initiate the build and provisioning of your server. After the build order is put in, it usually takes around four business days for delivery.
Thank You

Hello Alex,

We don't make people wait for weeks for logins. We make people wait until they pay their invoice.

After they pay their invoice they are asked to update their ticket at the helpdesk, requesting their login details. If they do not update this ticket, then their logins may be delayed, perhaps indefinitely until they request the logins.

Per your request for logins, we do not provide logins without payment for obvious security reasons, unfortunately.

I have setup your account and your server is ready. All you need to do is:

1. Make payment
2. Update this ticket requesting your login details.

As I said I will not make a payment till you send me the account information because yes you did make me wait for weeks until you sent me the account information before.

no exceptions, if you don't want to do it this way then I will have no choice but to proceed with what I mentioned earlier at no fear.

Please let me know your final decision because I am very serious to finalize this issue today.

Added by: Matt L - Administrator @ Jul 16 '09 8:53am
Was this reply helpful? YES NO MODERATELY

I am trying to make life easy for you and you seem to want to make it difficult for us for some reason. Why is that?

So the question is, do you want this server or not?

I have someone else who wants the same specifications and you were first in line, but we don't issue logins until we have a payment. Instead of making them wait 3-4 days for us to build them a new machine I would rather just give them the one I am holding for you today and move on with the day if you are not interested.

Your logins will be available within a few hours after payment. If you do not have them, all you need to do is respond to this ticket. But chances are they are sitting in a spam folder somewhere.

I don't understand why you think you did not have the logins for weeks after the last payment, but if you did not have them, my question is why did you not ask for them to be (re)issued? That seems extremely peculiar to me. If I spent all that money on a dedicated server I surely would be asking about my logins as soon as payment was made.

Don't forget we hosted your site for nearly a month for free and you technically still owe us for that month. I am waiving that in order to set you up with a new server, but I will repeat: Our policy is not to issue logins until a payment has been received.

Once you make the payment, update this ticket and we will get your logins to you.

If you will not be making payment today I will go ahead and resell this machine to the other party who is waiting.

I'd also like to remind you that because of the direction you have indicated that you are willing to take on this, which is some sort of ridiculous unfounded public complaint, that a $75 early termination fee and $35 collections fees will now been added to this account, along with final month of unpaid service.

This means 2 full months of dedicated server payments, the $75 early termination fee, $35 collections fee, and this is all before you decide to make a chargeback. Why 2 months? Because you did not formally cancel your service agreement, we hosted the site for one month and you have to cancel 30 days advance of your next bill date, which was never done.

If a chargeback appears on this account, this case WILL BE seen in court.

Any public slander or libel will also be brought fourth as evidence against your case. All of your threats have been logged and are already in the hands of our attorneys. I have told them to open a file on you and not to file a court order until I give them further notice.

Now lets you and me re-visit the chargeback discussion.

If this company sees a chargeback, in addition to the problems we are already going to seeking to commence against you above, we will be seeing treble damages for the chargeback, and all other fees which are owed.

Treble, in case you forgot about this term, means 3 times what you originally owed.

That is in addition to fraud charges for "Theft of Service," and I am sure we can dig something up for the slander and libel that you have indicated your intentions of spewing about the web.

Remember your case will appear in a Florida court, (refer to your contract which describes where you will be appearing) so do not forget about your hotel and airline ticket.

Did you read the part of your service contract that says when we win the case, you also pay for our legal fees? Did you know that our attorneys cost $500 per hour?

Is this starting to sound very expensive to you yet?

I hope that you have a very well paying job...clearly your experience in how the web works, how to make money on the web, and how not to get in serious trouble on the web are things you have yet to learn.

I would seriously reconsider even thinking about sending any ridiculous and unfounded problems our way.

If you think these are idle threats, refer to the Terms of Service contract to which you have digitally signed as part of having service here, and evidenced by your first payment.

Now do you understand why we do not issue logins without a payment? Did you learn anything today? Guess what? We have evidence now from your electronic payment that you were a customer, and were legally bound to this contract.

This is going to be a very expensive experiment on your part. Clearly you do not understand good business, and think that threats are a way to get a job done, or perhaps a better price.

Terrorists also have a similar belief that if you threaten people enough, they will cave in to your demands.

That doesn't work at this company, or in the USA. Thankfully, both of us live in the good ole USA. We have a legal system that loves to punish people like you.

Even if you do not decide to turn this case into a fraud lawsuit by issuing a chargeback, this company can still sue you, to the point at which I personally get bored of it, based on your threats alone. If I decide to submit this case today, even if you do not submit a chargeback request, it would easily turn into a "Conspiracy to Commit Fraud" lawsuit, which has the same legal ramifications as committing fraud itself.

If I were you I would walk away from this if I were you and do the right thing which is to not issue a chargeback since you and I both know that you received a server, for not only the month you paid for, but a second month to which you did not pay for. Guess who paid for the second month of your server Alex?

Me, it came directly out of my pocket.

You stole from me once. If you plan on stealing from me again by means of a chargeback, I guarantee things for you are not going to be pretty.

We have offered you a good deal, a new server, and no charges for your missed payments. You have decided to make legal threats and I promise you, that if any of your threats become a reality, you are going to have very expensive legal problems.

I realize that you are probably a minor and that we are going to have to bring your mom and dad to court along with you to Florida, so keep that in mind when you decide what you would like to do next.

Now, I had a particularly nice day so I am feeling more generous than usual.

I will give you a final chance to walk away from this matter and withdraw my submissions to our legal and collections departments. This will happen upon your response to this ticket stating that you will not make any formal complaints to any website or agency, and that your attempt to commit fraud by issuing a chargeback will not happen, and that any payments that you have made to GlowHost.com, Inc will remain property of GlowHost.com, Inc unconditionally.

I would offer you this brand new server, and waive the month that you already owe us, but I have already tried that.

Now all I can do is offer to NOT sue you for even considering such a ridiculous idea of payment reversal.

I don't expect you to be a man and state that you will walk away from this matter, and I am not going to keep a sticky note on my desk to follow up on your intentions and beg or plea with you to not do something so foolish as to try to reverse your payment which you and I both know that you owe this company.

What that means is you have 48 hours to let me know that you are not going to issue any charge backs, and that you have not issued any complaints and will not in the future.

If you agree to that, I will remove our case from collections for the last month of service that you owe, the collections fee and early termination fee will be waived, and you and this company will "call it even."

If I do not see that email in 48 hours promise you that your threats will pale in comparison to my promises about making your life as miserable and expensive as I possibly can.

The choice is yours, I will wait 48 hours as I mentioned and then you leave me no other choice. I should have sent this to collections long ago, so this is your last chance at making things right.

Matt,

You are really funny,

#1 you try to scare me but it doesn't work at all.
#2 I did not read everything you said because I have no interest in reading 5 pages.
#3 If you feel you will win then I ask you to go forward with this, lets see who will win at the end.
#4 I emailed publiccomplaints.org about this including a copy of this ticket as well as several differen't complaint websites and soon it will be cached on google when people try to google your company name, just this is more than enough and worse than a chargeback because this is priceless if you understand what this is and how it affects a business.

Thank you.

I purchased a very expensive vehicle from Car Company of Canada and my engine blew a week or so after I bought it! Car Company of Canada said that they will not take responsibility, this was a total loss for me, I regret buying from these crooks.

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4890

2009-07-10T16:43:00.001-04:00

I purchased this video card from Canada Computers, Canada Computers only provides a 15 day exchange policy or 60 days warranty where they would send it back to the manufacture for me.

This Sapphire ATI Radeon Video card is now defective and I'm really upset, I should've bought Nvidia or something else instead.

The problem with this ATI Video card is, about every 5 minutes or so I see a line going across the screen going from top to bottom.

I spoke with Canada Computers and they said they can't help me because it passed the warranty time with them, now if I send it back to the manufacture I will be with no video card for probably 60 days! Which means I will NOT be able to use my computer for 60 days!! :(

I regret buying ATI Radeon, ATI should come out with a better warranty, perhaps advance exchange policy where they would send out the video card to you and once you receive it then you send them back your old one.

I emailed Althon asking them what they can do for me and they replied saying:

"Our company, Althon Inc., is the representative of Sapphire for the Canadian territories on RMA (Warranty) services.    For technical issue, you may like to file for a 'Support Ticket' via Sapphire website.   Sapphire technician would come back to you.

For RMA (Warranty) claim against Sapphire, first of all, please check the warranty provided by your dealer.   If it is within their warranty period,
you should get the service from them.

Should the dealer warranty expired, and you like to file a claim against Sapphire, then, there are steps which we have to go through before Sapphire would issued an official RMA number to authorize such return. Note that, Sapphire is not a Canadian company and their head office is in Asia (Hong Kong).    Sapphire warranty covers free parts/labor only. Therefore, for any RMA claims against Sapphire, we have to send the card back and fore to Asia, and back to you afterwards, so there will be costs involved (Administration and Freight).    Cost is ranging from CAD$25-CAD$45 depending on your location/province.

Should you decide to go ahead with the claim, please provide the below information :

1   Serial number of the card
2. Part Number of the card
3. SKU number of the card
4. Complete full product description of the card (AGP/PCIE, 256M/512M, Dual DVI / DVI, VO / VIVO.....etc)
5. Details of your mailing address
6. Copy of the purchase invoice (Not your sales invoice)
7. Read the attached RMA Policy and email us back with your confirmation of acceptance to all terms/conditions.

Should you have any queries in regarding the Sapphire warranty policy, you are welcome to visit this reference link: http://www.sapphiretech.com/us/support/warranty.php

Now would I buy anything from Canada Computers or ATI ? Ofcourse not!

I just wanted to let you know and be aware that this company is taking your information from third party accounts, online loan applications, free offers etc and charging for their services that is never received. I immediately cancelled once I found out before I was even charged. I found out I was charged and called again and demanded a refund from them. They denied my refund and said that I applied for their services. They left me on hold for an hour to talk to their "supervisor", Letta, who did not have anything useful to help.

I just want everyone to be aware of these people. I am enclosing their information that I have been able to obtain. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, disputed the transaction with my bank and I received a suggestion to contact the Attorney General of Arizona and file a complaint with them which I am looking into.

I had an unpleasant experience with Pfaff Leasing, I spoke to them before signing a credit application and I advised them of my high beacon credit score, and they told me I will be required to put a $5,000 deposit only and they assured me it will not be more than $5,000.

Then after I filled out the application and submitted it to them they informed me that the deposit would have to be $10,000, Of course I've then decided not to do the leasing through Pfaff and do it with Havakar Leasing instead.

I am upset because pfaff leasing lied to me, and my credit was also affected, I've contacted them and advised them that they should fix my credit by taking off the credit query they did and they refused and said that I signed the credit application and there is nothing they can do.

I would not trust doing business with Pfaff, thank god I've decided to go with Havakar leasing instead and I'm very happy with Havakar leasing, their staff are very nice people as well and there are no surprises with Havakar unlike Pfaff.

So basically they scammed me, they took my money and failed to provide me with the service that I paid for which is illegal.

Don't trust AM Hosting, I filed for a chargeback through my credit card company and it's currently in process, I believe chargeback is the only way to go with when dealing with a company like this.

Addmore Office Furniture

Concord Ontario, L4K1W3
Phone: 1.905.660.0001
Fax: 1.905.660.1814
Email: mikea@fcibroadband.com

I parked my car yesterday in the parking spot that's in front of their business Addmore Office Furniture, and where I parked it was a proper parking spot and no signs saying no parking is allowed there at all.

Then later during the evening I had a business meeting and I was trying to close a business deal, then the other business person asked why do I have the word "ASSHOLE" on my license plate?, I went to look and took it out, I was very humiliated and I lost the business deal because of that.

I also noticed some damages in the area of the license plate.

Then I went back to Addmore and spoke to the employees at the store Addmore Office furniture and asked them if they know anything about this and if they saw who did this, and one guy who works there came up to me and said "yes I did it" I said why would you do such thing? This is not nice and not professional, he said "you shouldn't park right in front of our door", I said well there is no sign saying no parking in front of the door because if there was a sign saying so then I wouldn't have parked there and you should have asked me nicely to not park my car there instead of covering my front license plate with a paper saying "ASSHOLE" this is not a nice thing to do and certainly not professional, the employee at Addmore store told me "shut the fuck up, you deserve that", then I said that I will post this story of what happened on this website and other blogs, then he told me "I'm gonna kick your ass and kill you so shut the fuck up", then I left.

The employee at Addmore Office Furniture is clearly rude, low class person with no matters at all.

I was shocked by his actions, he is very very rude, he should have asked me to move my car somewhere else if he didn't want me to park there or what's better is they should have put a sign in front of the store saying "no parking".

I will post this story everywhere on the internet in every blog and message board that I can post to, including forwarding of this to media/news organizations, so the customers of Addmore Furniture know what kind of employees Addmore employees.

My view of this is that these employees employed at Addmore Furniture are unprofessional, rude, their products in the store look very cheap quality to me and I would NOT trust doing any business with them.

I will do whatever it takes to show people what kind of company this is, if anyone has any suggestions of what I can do please post your comments in the comments section, I am currently in the process of pursuing this further legally because I was humiliated by what they did, I lost the business deal and they damaged the area of the license plate.

I believe that the president of Addmore Office Furniture, owner of that store 2951 Highway 7 West, Concord Ontario, and that rude employee should all apologize to me, they owe me an apology for what they did, and they should also compensate me for the damages they have caused.

Stocks in 2005 from WebTrends Inc

2009-04-07T02:24:00.001-04:00

I run a small company in Singapore and have been trying very hard to collect payment for the stocks we returned to WebTrends in July 2005.
We were asked to return the stocks. We returned promptly. Here is what I have done so far:

Between July 2005 to July 2006
1. I wrote several emails to different people at WebTrends. No reply on the payment.
( The stocks plus money owing to us was estimated at $30K )
2. I wrote letters to WebTrends CEO and Francisco Partners, owner of WebTrends for help. No reply

Aug 2006 to 28 Aug 2008
1. D & B local office was engaged to help collect.
2. They failed to convince WebTrends and even aborted a hearing in 2008 for which they asked for an est $5K fee in 2006.
3. I insisted that they continued since they asked for the money and took it. Instead they refunded and stopped.

I lost 2 years with D&B and am very angry. We are small. Only two people. We get bullied.

I hope you, the readers can help me.

Of course it would be great if you can advise me if there is any way in Portland that I can use to further my cause. Blogs ( respectable ones )? Government
agency?

Getting a lawyer for a court hearing is certainly not within my reach.

Please help.

Thank you.
