Complaint / Review
Uncle Sam's Yard Sale, American International Auction Network, Timothy Benjamin
"Ben" Taylor My wife and I heard a radio interview for Uncle Sam's Yard Sale on KLAC LA radio We went to a seminar and were were ripped off for $1,500

We have tried on numerous occasions to reach the company but have been unable to. They have a recording which never takes your message so they can't get back to you.
We have two addresses for the co. But both of them are mail drop boxes. I drove to one address (LA to San Francisco) and found it to be a mail drop.

According to the agreement we were to receive a manual. Then we would be contacted and told what auctions to go to. Uncle Sam's would send a check to the auction to cover the purchase we would make. After we made one buy or attended 12 auctions we would get our $1,500.00 back.

The state of Oklahoma filed a Final Cease and Desist Order against one of their d.B.A.'s on Jan. 21st 1998 and ordered them to pay a civil penalty of $40,000 plus attorney fees of $5,000.

On Dec. 21st 1998 The Fresno, CA County District Attorney filed a consumer protection complaint against Timohy Benjamin Taylor and company for failure to provide a surety bond, provide a written data on income & earnings and failure to make refunds to those who sought to cancel and get refunds also alleging untrue or misleading statementsduring sales presentations. They also operate under 26 other company names.

An additional phone number is 800/634-5615

We believe that there are hundreds of people searching for this scumbag and would hope that this would put us in contact with them so we might put this man in jail for his actions.
