THIS HAS TO BE A FIRST ON THE RIP OFF REPORT, TAKE NOTE, BE CAREFUL, TRUST NO ONE
You know nothing surprises me anymore. Do any Ethics or Honesty or Brains exist anymore ? I came back into the Report to see what was happening with the complaint and to see if any payment had been made to the client so I can be paid. Boy was I surprised. Now I'm being trashed by the client ? This guy talks out both sides of his mouth.
Now the so called Owner of the boat that I travelled 6000 miles to take apart and make ready for shipping to California, (60 hours spent) and Completing my job duties as contracted (SPOT ON) , in the rain cold and crazy wind based in dive motel has now thrown me under the bus to try and get his deposit back ? This was a tortuous job for a 60 year old.
Because of the Fact that He decided to give a deposit to the shipper prior to the boat being loaded on the trailer I have now inherited his problems and all I did was try and help.
I'm being held hostage for the balance of payment that he owes me for services rendered. He is making me wait until he is paid back from Allure as he stated to me when making me a partial payment.
Was he paid ? Who will ever know, certainly not me. How can I trust the client to pay his balance after he has written such a misleading comments about me on this site. I can only hope.
He clearly has twisted the whole story around to suit. This is not my first Rodeo. So I have put together files with a hundred e mails as well as text messages from both parties shipper and client to prove my case with dates and details, what do they have ? The same messages and text messages I have, Oops.......
Mr. Mike, Remember when you said to me that you could not find a maniac to fly all the way to Boston from California and back to do this job and you were so happy that you found me. ? Thanks for nothing. Now that you have been shown how to take the boat apart and re assemble it from my hard work I'm sure that you will be trying to do the work yourself, and you will be in California.
I will warn everyone. I smelled a rat when we started this contract and figured that you would cut me out of the job of putting the boat back together as agreed. The deal was $2400 on each end. Thats why you got the deal. A two part job. Good luck you will need it.
This is clearly ridiculous and twisted. The statement that "Most People are Good " is a vicious lie at best. I can only hope that I receive the balance of the pitiful $2400 fee I charged to ruin my life.
You cannot write stuff like this. Now all of a sudden I'm the victim. Do not Trust anyone you don't know or have referrals for. Truly Your's , Fred Brown .

As Talia's Client mentioned in the report above I would like to go on record and state in her defense that I did not give permission or authorization to Fred Brown who was someone I hired to disassemble my boat and assist me with making shipping arrangements, nothing more. He had no right to post this report and nor do I agree with the slander that this report has made on her character, In fact I was in communication with Talia throught the whole process. I know she went out of her way to try and accomodate me, In fact immediately made arrangements to have a semi truck arrive on the scene but unfortunately the expenses for that specific equipment exceeded my budget, At that point I decided to winterize the boat and Talia and partners agreed to return my deposit. I have no issues what so ever with Talia Enzer or Allure Logistics.
I would like to simply state that the allegations of bait and switch are completely false. I never felt in my dealings with Talia that this was the case. This was nothing more then a mis communication as Talia had stated that she recieved in correct information on the dimensions of the boat from Fred Brown at the time of booking.
Its unfortunate that this had taken place, but I feel it should have never been taken this far and displayed on such a damaging web site such as the ripp off report for everyone to see. I don't feel it's fair for anyone involved, most of all Talia. She did not deserve this and further more I was not ripped off of anything!!
Last but not least I have made my arrangements with Talia and Allure and have no furthur issues to speak of. I am satisfied with the outcome of the situation, I can only say that because of the way Talia handled herself throught the whole process and the sincere level of customer service she provided during a stressful time, I would reccomend Talia Enzer and her services in the future.
Thanks,
Mike

Well what can I say. The $3500.00 deposit that was to be paid back by now and guaranteed by Allure to my client has not happened and from what I can see it probably will drag on and on and on. They promise and promise and promise to no avail.
The boat still sets on the ground , fully shrink wrapped and ready to go and nothing, storage is being paid ..........They can't seem to come up with a tiny $3500.00 deposit. Pathetic. Do not give these people dime one until the boat is loaded on the truck, Period End Of Story.
