WB Sign Studio Wildflowers & Bugs Order never arrived; paid deposit and called organization: "phone temporarily unavailable." No response to my email; after trying to find additional contact information online, found numerous complai Syracuse, New York
My family recently found this scam artist at the Norwalk Oyster Fest in Norwalk, CT during the September 8th weekend. We ordered custom wooden sign for the lawn and paid a deposit of $40 for a $100 order; balance was still due. He did not take credit cards (claimed machine wasn't working) nor did he have a website.
We waited the customary 8 weeks (although order said 8-16 weeks) and called the number (315-474-0800) which was "temporarily unavailable." Then emailed (housesignstudio@aol.com) and still haven't heard from the individual.
Furthermore, I went online for a google search and found numerous (I mean TONS!) of complaints about this scheister. Sham! Terrible, terrible, terrible. The Better Business Bureau also gave his business an "F."
I plan on contacting the Oyster Fest organizers to complain; but am not sure how far my complaint will go. He must do the rounds at art festivals and scam others. This is a professional scam artist of the best kind.
Obviously there are many lessons to be learned here and I certainly learned mine the hard way.
