CLEAR CONNECTION WIRELESS ALBERT ARCURI, DO NOT DO BUSINESS!! SCAM, FRAUDULENT!! WARNING!!! Orlando, Florida
Albert Arcuri, CEO of Clear Connection Wireless, offered to sell my business some Motorola V3 Razr phones. I chose to purchase 35 of these Motorola's for $3920.00. He also stated that he would include 35 free Motorola H3 bluetooth headsets, and everything was to be shipped via UPS overnight. He refused to accept credit card payment or COD, and insisted that the payment had to be through Western Union.
Upon wire transferring the money to Albert, he gave me a UPS tracking number. The tracking number showed that the "package" was being delivered by UPS ground and weighed only 2.40 lbs. I immediately called him back to no avail. He didn't call me back or return my emails for a few days.
When my package arrived, it was a small box filled with styrofoam. Needless to say, I've never received any merchandise or a refund from Albert. When we spoke again some time later, he told me that he had to send me a "fake package" so I would release the Western Union Transfer hold on my payment, and that the "actual package" was no en route via USPS priority mail. I asked him for a tracking number, but he said that there was no tracking number. Needless to say, I never received any phones, and now he is claiming that the USPS has stolen the phones. He is not returning my calls or emails.
Since then, I've reported him to the FBI, BBB, Orlando Dept of Consumer Fraud, Orlando Police Dept. Take a lesson from my experience with him and DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH HIM. If I do receive a refund, which I doubt, I will update my posting to let you know. I plan to take this matter to court. I will update my report either way.

Shortly after posting my original complaint on this website, I was contacted my Mr. Arcuri stating that he would reimburse my $4000 if I would remove my post about his fraudulent business. I told him that the posting would be removed only after my refund was received in full and after the payment had fully cleared. He refused to send the reimbursement stating that i was not willing to work with him. I've been lied to one too many times by Albert, and now know that his word is worthless.
Also, in the last 2 weeks, I have been contacted by 2 other victims who have had similar experiences of fraud and dishonesty with Albert Arcuri and Clear Connection Wireless. You can expect their complaints to be posted on this website soon.
I am hearing from other victims of Albert's that he is telling them that I am a buyer scam. How ridiculous is that? I wire transfered Albert $4000 USD and received an empty box, and now I am the one that is trying to rip him off? What a joke. You really can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth.
The district attorney and Dept of Consumer Fraud of Orange County/Orlando Florida are further investigating this case. Trial dates are still pending.
I will update again soon.
