I was a former Employee to this company (Bradco Supply) I worked there for well over 5 years, as a result I became very aware of their sales techniques. This company has over 100 locations thru-out the Country the Above Mentioned is the Headquarters, and I have first hand knowledge of three locations that would often Remove and replace Manufacturing Labels. These products would be sold as (Mfg A) to pass the Building Codes, But really (Mfg B) products would be delivered, These products Do Not meet Building codes for that project and would be turned away if the Building Inspector would Know the Truth. If found out now would be forced to remove and replace. Along with any fines and I'm sure there would be fines as this is a proven and Intentional Scam.
Along with the Building Inspector, the Contractor doing the job, the Building Owner and The County Building Code Enforcement Are all Scammed. As this is done on the hush-hush, The Branch manager/s for this Company (Bradco) Would Instruct us to remove & throw away the MFG Labels for certain products, This is done before delivery of the products. The delivered product is very similar to the Originally ordered Product, therefore Presumed to be Authentic. [ except - building Code Approval, Warranty & Price ]
This has been going on for the entire time I was employed at this company, I have on numerous times stated my concern about this but told that it would cost the company Millions to fix [ since they would have to Completely Remove and Replace the Entire Job from scratch ] along with all the Negative P.R. & Possible lose in future business and ended it with if I don't like it then maybe I should look for another job, that saying anything will just get me fired or worse.
I then decided to gather pictures along with the Orders and addresses that were Being Scammed, They have Scammed well over 150 Customers that I have taken Pictures of including the addresses most of which are in Hurricane Prone So. Florida. This area alone has the Most strict Building Codes around.
One of the Scammed Buildings is Owned by Donald Trump in Florida. Now if this Company (Bradco) will Dupe the Donald then they will Scam You too.
I have all of the Pictures along with the Orders I was able to photocopy the Original order forms and take pictures without getting caught for over 1 year.
Along with the way it was shipped to the job sites as NOT to attract attention to the Fraud.
I transferred to another branch location to only find out that the same thing was being done there too. Again I continued to take Pictures and Order forms with the Addresses that were Scammed, Until The Branch Manager Caught me and Demanded the Camera, I told him of this wrong and that it is Against the Law He thru out lots of possible scenarios for the reasons why, Non of which would Legitimize Fraud. I was on the Blacklist from that time on.
I did get Injured at work which saved my job for just over 2 months, In this time I was Approached by the Human Resources Manager and asked all sorts of Questions when asked if I know of any Unethical procedures going on at work, I thought my Email to the President (Bradco President) about what was being done here at these locations was being Investigated. I was wrong, what was being Investigated was how to remove me from the company Legally.
I received my Doctors release from which stated that I can not lift anything more than 20 pounds in a stretch lift. Well that sealed my fate as they were legally able to let me go as nothing at the warehouse weighted less than 20 pounds. As such the very next day after handing in the Medical form I was released from work on the grounds of my injury and restrictions.
I have sent e-mails to the State Attorney in Florida, along with Channel 7 News (help me Howard) Both of which told me to be sure I want to become an Informer before proceeding with this.
I didn't know of this website till this morning but if you Buy from Bradco Supply, Be VERY Aware and Inspect the Products Very Carefully so you don't become a Fraud Victim.
I am Not afraid of any possible Slander Lawsuits as this is True and I have the pictures and Orders to prove it.
So Yes Bradco Supply Is a Scammer, and they know it otherwise they would'nt have needed to so-Called let me go. IE: Fired in the Nicest way ha ha yea right
I hope they get wind of this someday, But as usual big companies get away with it.
