I was a hired teacher by Amadeus Music School at the end of Feb. 2009 for violin lessons to start for a 6 year old student in March of 2009. I have taught all 4 lessons required to be paid, was told to email pay reports to lacie@musichousecalls.com if the logging website didn't work and I did and she claimed she never got my emails.
I resubmitted the pay reports and was told my check would be sent. I never got paid and my client's credit card was charged over $400. My client requested a teacher back in Nov. of 2008 and never received one. Only after she kept persisting, did I get contacted to teach. I provided services and was not paid for them. There are many other people like me out there who have been victimized and charged.... Michael Lawson is a crook! (CEO of the company).
I received this email from a fellow victim who wants justice for all who have been defrauded:
All,
I was recently contacted by Michelle A, yet another Amadeus/Home Music Schools scam victim. She is getting a group together for a class action lawsuit and a group to take this matter to the police/FBI. If you are interested in pursuing these people, contact Michelle directly at (((REDACTED FOR SECURITY PURPOSES)))@hotmail.com
What happened to you and me was NOT an isolated incident. This is a widespread fraud that has affected many people in many states - possibly some outside the US as well. AND they are still at it. We are the only ones that can put a stop to this and have these crooks brought to justice.
Michelle also asks that you do the following:
If you have not called and/or filled out a complaint with:
If you are a teacher that has not been paid - Contact the DEPARTMENT OF LABOR IN YOUR CITY AND PERHAPS NEW JERSEY Your STATES ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE IN YOUR CITY AND PERHAPS NEW JERSEY Your POLICE
Better Business Bureau then Blog Blog Blog Blog Blog ... get the word out.
PLEASE DO SO...
WE NEED YOU TO BLOG About the Amadeus fraud ONCE A WEEK in 3 places for the next year. Michelle would like to assign one person each week from the list of names
Michelle WILL SEND you A DUMMY BLOG TO MAKE THINGS EASIER AND YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE IT EVERYWHERE....Or you can make your own and do the same thing...
It can be overwhelming but we need your help. We may never see our money, which is all the reason more to stop this entity NOW and IN THE FUTURE. Reputation on the net is important. Lets do our best to warn others. There are actually teachers STILL WORKING FOR THEM!!!! THEY DON'T KNOW YET!!!!

Recently, I filed an update to a report I filed. I was made aware of some information that was sent to me by email that a man named Carl Sgro was the man responsible for the whole Amadeus fiasco. In no way did I originate this information, it was just emailed to me. I have no reason to believe that Carl Sgro is a guilty party here. I mean, all he did was supposedly make the websites for Amadeus. How does that make him guilty? I don't see how. So I strongly feel that all attacks on this man and his stellar reputation are unjustified. We should just stop assuming he is the guilty party here. What proof do we have? Whoever sent me this information obviously has no life and spent the extra time to acquire information about this man because they were dead set on screwing someone. We are all victims here and should stick together - not trash eachother. So, Mr. Sgro - I deeply appologize for posting the email sent to me. If there is anything I can personally do to help you, please let me know.

Recently, I have tried to update my blog post because I was given some misinformation which has apparently tarnished the stellar reputation of a man named Carl Sgro. I would like to note that the information in my post was NOT in any way acquired by me, it was sent to me in a mass email. As far as I am concerned, Carl Sgro is not resposible for this whole fiasco. If we are to blame anyone, we should blame the owner of the company, not the man who makes his websites.
I found out that this website doesn't allow you to edit original text, so again I post an update.
Don't blame Mr. Sgro for this. How was he suppossed to know this was going to happen. He sounds like a very nice man just trying to make an honest living just like the rest of us.

Amadeus Home Music School - Fraud!

I was a hired teacher by Amadeus Music School at the end of Feb. 2009 for violin lessons to start for a 6 year old student in March of 2009. I have taught all 4 lessons required to be paid, was told to email pay reports to lacie@musichousecalls.com if the logging website didn't work and I did and she claimed she never got my emails. I resubmitted the pay reports and was told my check would be sent. I never got paid and my client's credit card was charged over $400.
