The owner, Rico's friend, recommended this company to me, so I was looking forward to a great night…read moreout. I texted them, paid my $100 deposit, and was set for my gathering.
Fast forward to the night of my event, June 28, Rico assigned Desirey Simpson to me as a driver. All appeared to go well. I paid my final invoice, and we are ready to ride out. The night was going well, but I started getting notifications of unauthorized charges to my card. But I'm dumbfounded because I physically have my card. But in the light of not ruining the trip, we carried on.
The following day, I started trying to dig into this mysterious $160 charge. I got the company, etc. While sitting and having brunch, I get hit with another charge: $100 from the same establishment. So now I'm losing it.
Early that day, we got a call that my sister had passed away, and with these unauthorized charges, I am now being forced to freeze my account to figure this out, all while having to depend on family and friends who traveled to town for my event to now pay for things on my behalf.
After calling the establishment, it was determined that Rico's driver fraudulently used my card. I contacted Rico, who had a very nonchalant attitude. Once I mentioned getting the authority involved, he told me the gaming company would return my money, but I never mentioned the gaming company. So, that leads me to believe he was involved, especially since I paid through the link he provided. I never gave either my card. I requested the money be returned, and he tried to send it back to me as an overpayment. I refused because it was not an overpayment but theft. I left town because of my sister's passing on July 1 and upon my return, July 16,, due to not having access to my account, I had a vacate notice on my door. I had to spend 2.5 hours in the bank clearing this up and another 2 hours with my leasing company. Once I brought my attention back to this matter, I realized that Rico never applied my deposit and overcharged me. I texted him this, and he said I was correct, but he never returned my money.
At that point, I created an invoice and requested a full refund of $540, a $100 overpayment, and the $260 stolen. He refused and stated he would give me $370. He totally did not care about the inconvenience and hardship caused by his staff. I have screenshots of all stated here, and I just warn all to be aware and cautious!
