I signed an agreement with Stanley Lewis at A-1 Locators on 9/28 to assist in finding retail locations for coffee displays that I was going to be a distributor for with another company. I pre-paid Stanley and his company $1,200 in good faith to lock in the service as was directed in the agreement. The way his operation works is that you pay him an upfront fee to procure his services and in return he refers out your job to his network of locators.
As it turned out, the coffee company I was going to be a new distributer for (South Beach Coffee) turned out to be one great big scam. I quickly notified Stanley of this and advised him that I obviously would not be in need of his services and requested that I get the refund as outlined in the agreement, as no work of any kind was done by his company on my behalf.
I have notified him of my request for a refund via email, fax and certified mail. He has ignored each and every communication. Stanley will answer the phone when you are interested in his business service, but ignores the calls when a hint of a problem is certain.
According to the agreement that I entered into with Mr. Lewis, refunds won't be honored once work commences on a project. Up to this point (just shy of 1 month), no work has been done. So I demanded a refund of my deposit money. My requests have been ignored. I am fully prepared to handle this through the courts if a refund is not executed. A-1 Locators/Mr. Stan Lewis is in breach of his own contract.
