This company took over management after Fannie Mae foreclosed on the fourplex that we've lived in for two years prior. We signed a new lease under the ProtectingRentersatForeclosureActof2009, signed by pres. Oboma. Since then, they have done absolutly nothing but harrass us with demands and threats of eviction on a monthly basis. I'm so sick of them. I wish I could find an attorney to sue the jerks. I will never have anything to do with them again, if I live through the constant stress. I suggest no one else gets tangled in thier web of deciet. read full review »

I am a small business owner. I was contacted by Keith Devoe asking if I had any jobs in the contracting business that he could bid for me. He was a referral from a friend so I gave him a shot. The job was sold and completed. When it came for payment Keith out-smarted me and collected from the home owner. He was paid and I received nothing. I have spoken to him on a number of occasions and he states that he doesn’t owe me any money and for that matter he doesn’t have any money. Do not do business with this thief! read full review »

Walt and Denise Kadtka fit the criteria of slumlord. I rented a studio apartment for approximately 5.5 months. Upon moving in, we endured window sills filled with chipping paint, a fireplace smothered in ash, a fridge with half of the inside door broken/non-functional and a toilet backing up that ultimately continued to flood every time we flushed. We made several attempts on unclogging the toilet until we came to the conclusion that it was completely clogged and would require a professional to fix it. We made the call to the landlord and he... read full review »

They REFUSE to do anything about this. read full review »

We have heard how the President and Fed is pumping money into the banking system to try and save some of the big companies. The scammers are using a fake "stimulus package coming your way" method to try and scam business owners and even elderly people.

Found an unauthorized charge for $9.95 on my credit card. Called my CC company and asked about charge. They said call the company first. Called the number on my cc statement and it was answered by "Comm-Services call center"-. I explained I had not ordered anything & did not know who they were. Said they would contact the company to have the charge reversed. Called the fraud dept of my cc co after googling "Comm-Services, LLC" and seeing RipOff report on this outfit. Seems they have a scam going. How did they obtain all these CC & debit card numbers? read full review »

Well, I received a Fandango gift card for Christmas, and I finally used it to see a movie. First they try to pressure you into purchasing the tickets fast before you can think about it because they have a countdown clock in the corner "you have this much time before your tickets are released to someone else". Then I purchase the tickets, and there was a service fee that did not come up on the invoice prior to submission. Really sketchy business practices. read full review »

This guy is a total scam. He runs options trading courses and offers very high risk options trading and portfolios. Ask him for his track record in more detail and he will only tell you the good stories. They report what is a 400% loss as a 100% loss. ASIC has tried to investigate them a few times, but they are clever. I have lost about 50k following his recommendations. My friends and other people who have traded with him all lost between 20 - 200 K following his strategies. Be very aware. He is a lair and a scam. read full review »
