The Exposing of a Crook

Its not often that you will hear me come out against a particular person, or a particular company but this time I think once you read this, you will understand why.

Just before Christmas, Annie bought herself what was supposed to be a brand new laptop. When the owner (Freyner Gonzalez) of the company (A-1 Support) delivered the laptop, for the first couple of days it seemed to work just fine. Then the monitor started having some issues (black lines streaking down the screen). So I told her to contact him and have him replace the monitor since it was defective. For the next two months, he could not be reached, either by email, or by phone! For the next two months, the monitor got so bad that is have become all but unusable. There is a 4-5" patch right down the middle of the screen that is now while, with streaks down the right half of the monitor from the top. When I saw the computer for the first time, I asked her what she had purchased. She said it was a new laptop. This was **NOT** a new laptop! Being in business for myself, and having an IT degree, I can tell you that this may have had a new memory chip, or a new outer shell (which even that was an offbrand!) but if this was a new laptop, I would like for him to show me where!

This is my problem. You (not me mind you) are in business to sell services to the public. You should stand behind what you sell. No less than 20 phone calls over a 2 month period, and at least a dozen emails go unanswered. All the sudden, you miraculously appear out of nowhere when the last email stated we would take legal action against you if you didnt rectify the situation within 2 weeks. You state you would rectify it with a new computer (we asked for a refund!) within a couple of days. Now, you have disappeared again. Rip-off artists such as yourself sicken me, and make me wish there was something more I could do about this. So I have taken this opportunity to do one of the two things I have set out to do:

(1) I have filed an official complaint with the Better Business Bureau in Austin about this whole situation, to have a case started about this person, and his business.

(2) I have decided to blog about it, to bring attention to this person and his business, negatively, the type of person that he is, and the type of business (and shams) he is running.

Like I said, its not often I jump on something like this. My issue since I first got involved in it was not to bring negative light to someone's livelyhood. But there comes a place and a time where you have done the right thing, tried to resolve the issue directly with the person involved, and they have chosen to "hide" and "avoid" the situation in hopes that we will just go away. Sorry BuckShot - I dont just walk away! You have messed with the bull. Now you will deal with the horns!

I urge you, and ask that, if you know anyone in the Austin / San Antonio / Killeen areas, to make sure they avoid this guy at all costs. He does not stand up for the products that he sells, and he will not resolve any issues. His choice and course of action - run and hid!

As an IT person myself, I am ashamed of you, and you should be ashamed for what you are doing to your customers! There is no way I would EVER do to my customers, what you have done to Annie.

And the hits just KEEP ON Comin'!!!

In this day and age when we should be thinking about saving money, not spending more money, comes this article. AMAZING!!! As if the first $2 trillion in the first 9 months wasnt enough!

First Lady Requires More Than Twenty Attendants
By Dr. Paul L. Williams

Quote from Michelle Obama: "In my own life, in my own small way, I have
tried to give back to this country that has given me so much," she said.
"See, that's why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service."

No, Michele Obama does not get paid to serve as the First Lady and she
doesn't perform any official duties. But this hasn't deterred her from hiring
an unprecedented number of staffers to cater to her every whim and to
satisfy her every request in the midst of the Great Recession.

Just think a second, Mary Lincoln was taken to task for purchasing china
for the White House during the Civil War. And Mamie Eisenhower had to
shell out the salary for her personal secretary.

Hillary Clinton had three assistants, Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one;
and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President's own
pocket.

How things have changed! If you're one of the tens of millions of Americans
facing certain destitution, earning less than subsistence wages stocking the
shelves at Wal-Mart or serving up McDonald cheeseburgers, prepare to scream and then come to realize that the benefit package for these servants of Miz Michelle are the same as members of the national security and defense departments and the bill for these assorted lackeys is paid by John Q. Public:

1. $172,000- Sher, Susan (Chief Of Staff)
2.. $140,000 - Frye, Jocelyn C. (Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of Policy And Projects for First Lady)
3. $113,000 - Roger s, Desiree G. (Special Assistant to the President and White House Social Secretary)
4. $102,000 - Johnston, Camille Y. (Special Assistant to the President and Director of Communications for First Lady)
5. $100,000 - Winter, Melissa E. (Special Assistant to President and Deputy Chief Of Staff to First Lady)
6. $90,000 - Medina , David S. (Deputy Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
7. $84,000 - Lelyveld, Catherine M. (Director and Press Secretary to the First Lady)
8. $75,000 - Starkey, Frances M. (Director of Scheduling and Advance for the First Lady)
9. $70,000 - Sanders, Trooper (Deputy Director of Policy and Projects for the First Lady)
10. $65,000 - Burnough, Erinn J. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
11. $64,000 - Reinstein, Joseph B. (Deputy Director and Deputy Social Secretary)
12. $62,000 - Goodman, Jennifer R. Deputy Director, Scheduling & Events Coordinator For The First Lady
13. $60,000 - Fitts, Alan O. (Deputy Director of Advance and Trip Director for the First Lady)
14. $57,500 - Lewis, Dana M. (Special Assistant and Personal Aide to the First Lady)
15. $52,500 - Mustaphi, Semonti M. (Associate Director and Deputy Press Secretary To The First Lady)
16. $50,000 - Jarvis, Kristen E. (Special Assistant for Scheduling and Traveling Aide To The First Lady)
17. $45,000 - Lechtenberg, Tyler A. (Associate Director of Correspondence For The First Lady)
18. $43,000 - Tubman, Samantha (Deputy Associate Director, Social Office)
19. $40,000 - Boswell, Joseph J. (Executive Assistant to the Chief Of Staff to the First Lady)
20. $36,000 - Armbruster, Sally M. (Staff Assistant to the Social Secretary)
21. $35,000 - Bookey, Natalie (Staff Assistant)
22. $35,000 - Jackson, Deilia A.. (Deputy Associate Director of Correspondence for the First Lady)

There has NEVER been anyone in the White House at any time who has created such an army of staffers whose sole duties are the facilitation of the First Lady's social life. One wonders why she needs so much help, at taxpayer expense, when even Hillary, only had three; Jackie Kennedy one; Laura Bush one; and prior to Mamie Eisenhower social help came from the President's own pocket...

Note: This does not include makeup artist Ingrid Grimes-Miles, 49, and
"First Hairstylist" Johnny Wright, 31, both of whom traveled aboard Air
Force One to Europe .

I am just astounded...but I should have seen it coming. I am thoroughly disgusted with what this government is doing. I say we fire them all - YES ALL OF THEM - and start over - and they ALL have to go thru the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University before they are hired!!! I'm sorry but if I overdraw my account by $1 the bank is on my phone like I committed 1st degree felony! This administration is $12 trillion in the hole and STILL WRITING CHECKS!!!
