Greetings
The purpose of this posting is to educate Municipalities, Potential Buyers and Sellers of the deceptive and illegal practices of Allyn Auction Company, Inc.
This post was formed by the author's personal experience, and actual court documents and other public records and was not created solely for the purpose of defaming anyone, company contained herein.
As a Municipal Officer authorized to served both Criminal and Civil Process, (Constable) I feel that it my duty to educate potential clients, including potential Municipalities, Buyers and Sellers on Allyn Auction Company, Inc.By exercising my 1st amendment right and presenting the following facts:
I am a former employee of Allyn Auction Company, Inc. And now a Constable in the City of Lynn, Massachusetts. U.S.A.
I worked as an Operations Manager from 2005 for Allyn Auction Company, Inc.including their affiliate Company, Charity Auction Foundation.
In December of the owner of the company, in an attempt to defraud me by avoid paying my wages, stated to me that during the last two weeks, "I was late and not organized and that I will not be paid."
I later found out that the company has a history of this and similiar offenses with other employees and contractors in the past.
Recent Cases for 2006 involve:
Larceny By Check over $250
Salem District Court

Mishandling of Auction Clients funds

Recent deceptive auction practices which defrauded both buyers and sellers include:
(1)
Employing individuals as cappers for the purpose of bidding up the price of goods with bona fide bidders for the purpose of encouraging bona fide bidders to purchase as in the City of Lynn Auction held at Lynn City Hall in April. Other deceptive acts were reported in the Lynn Item Newspaper, April.
(2)
Disposition of goods at auction without first exhibiting to prospective bidders all such goods.
Eg. City of Haverhill Auction held at the Haverhill City Hall in 2005; where one parcel of land was removed and sold to a private (abutter) bidder prior to the auction without notice to the public.
Past adverse action against allyn auction company include:
Termination of an Auction Contract by Bruce Mc Donald of The Greater Lynn YMCA for deceptive advertising practices.
Further violations after the termination of the contract relationship went on to include:
Soliciting Charitable Donations on behalf of the Greater Lynn YMCA even though the contract was terminated between this company and the Greater Lynn YMCA.
Other Deceptive advertising practices include..
The listing of an outdated picture on their website implying that a corporate office exist in Salem, MA, when in fact no such office exists.

The creation of phony positions and titles that do not exist by using the names of former independent contractors.
Example:
Jackie A. Meuse, their named "Vice President" is a former contractor.
There are currently no other people involved as thier "Vice President" or "Director of IT Operations" or "Executive Assistant" as shown on the Mass. States Corporate Listing.
