We were recently informed of the complaints on your website that refer to Ry River, Inc dba Mad Al Distributors. There appears to be a serious misunderstanding of Mad Al Distributors' role in this matter. A check we mailed to one of our vendors was stolen from the mail. That check appears to have been copied in some manner and used to create a multitude of counterfeit checks. We have dealt with a sizeable number of phone calls, mailed correspondence and been forced to close our bank account. Mad Al Distributors in no way took part in perpetrating a scam against anyone at any time or ever. We have been operating a reputable business for 20 years. As soon as we were aware of the situation, our bank, First National Bank of Alaska was notified and asked to freeze the account. Notice of the situation was posted on our website in hopes that persons receiving these phony checks and letters would find our website and not be taken by the scam. For weeks our phone lines were tied up answering calls about the checks as we explained the problem to people who called our phone number. We reported the matter to the appropriate government agencies and hope to have the perpetrator of this scam located and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We did every single thing humanly possible to minimize the damage. The scam greatly disrupted our business and continues to do so. I respectfully request that you let the readers of your report know that our company had no involvement in this scam. We were just as much victims of this scam as well as the persons receiving counterfeit checks on our account. Sincerely, Randal R Ramuglia President 907-274-4115
