Michael David Spofford and his companies are rip-off artists! He gets his work through "Express Floors, " "Coverall Floors, " and "ProSource."
He hires men to do his installations, working them 6 days a week (sometimes til late evening hours). THEN, COME PAYDAY (which is supposed to be every Friday, which he also changes on a whim) he CHEATS people out of their pay by THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!
Just last week (7/15/05) he DISAPPEARED on pay day. Numerous phone calls were placed to him because many men were looking for their paychecks. This Scam Artist DID NOT return phone calls and ALL of these men had to wait til Tuesday (7/19/05) for a paycheck where he CHEATED them all out of monies due for work performed the prior week!
We also found out that Michael Spofford DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY THESE MEN. HIS BUSINESS ETHICS ARE NIL!!! Again, THIS WEEK (7/22/05), Michael Spofford has cheated men out of thousands of dollars on work performed and due to be paid. He claims the pay date has changed but NO ONE was told about this before hand. He claims that "work orders" are given to him TOO LATE, but this is far from the truth!
Work Orders are all FAXED to him at his fax number, and all are faxed ON TIME because PEOPLE WANT TO GET PAID, right??? Michael Spofford is a flat out liar, cheat, and scam artist. When starting a job with him, he'll tell you HE PAYS for things like "floor prep, " "concrete crack repair, " etc. Then you find out YOU'RE PAYING FOR IT!
His jobs are NOT measured correctly, the product being installed is SHORT, he does NOT order all products necessary to COMPLETE installations, and then he turns around and SCREWS the little guy saying it's THEIR FAULT.
Many people are pissed off beyond reason and this guy is being reported to The Better Business Bureau, The Registrar of Contractors, and The Attorney General's Office.
If you know how to look his information up, you'll see plain as day just how many times he's been sued civilly. He has four different licenses with the Registrar of Contractors which are current. HOWEVER, he HAD four OTHER licenses with the Registrar of Contractors that were REJECTED, previous to the four he has now.
There are State and Federal Tax Liens against him which he's probably SCRAMBLING to pay. He's listed under M S INDUSTRIES LLC and his office phone number (besides the phone numbers already given) is: 623-322-6691.
Not only are Installers pissed off, the customers are now, too!
BUYER/INSTALLER BEWARE!!! You'll get a song and a dance before this man pays you what is RIGHTFULLY DUE TO YOU!!! If you're smart - you won't let this ripoff artist do any of your flooring installations!
