Perry Faraldi - Locaters Plus Ripoff took money for search and disappeared! New Jersey
In January 2005, I signed a contract with Locater's Plus Search Firm, NJ, to find my birth family. For this service, I paid $375 and sent the signed forms back to Christine Dillon and Perry Faraldi. It is now September 2005, and after hearing NOTHING about my search, I attempted to contact them. Numbers were disconnected, and the same message has been on the website for months. I've sent several emails, only to receive this completely unprofessional email:
Dear Susan,
We are gratefully sorry that you have suffered any heartship or stress in this matter.
The company has gone thru some difficulties and is backed up. But we are still continuing to solve all our clients searches. Please be advised that we are here doing everything possible to complete your search.
We thank you for your passions in this matter.
How do we go about getting our money back, and is that even possible? I don't believe my search was ever begun.

Regarding Locaters Plus
#2Consumer Suggestion

To the individuals that were ripped off by Locaters Plus,
You will most likely never see your money. Perry Faraldi has been in jail since February 2005 according to the Passaic County Sherrif's Office. He is a sexual predator and a thief. He is being held for crimes to include child pornography, soliciting sex with children via the internet and welfare fraud. (Yes, welfare fraud). According to the Sherriff's Office he and Christine Dillon ran this "business" out of his home.
Your searches were not started. Neither was mine. Some people that hired Perry Faraldi in 2003 never heard from him again. (I met some of these individuals on AdoptionForums.com in 2005 when they were STILL WAITING.)
