Where do I start??? Monika Wiela is simply a crook. It all started when Monika with her then "husband" came to my employer with big plans of becomign a big forwarder. They started low, then increased their business. Became "FRIENDLY" and after a few months started failing on payments. I made the biggest mistake of my lfe by accepting their shipments in good faith. Well Yes.. I was stupid. It backfired. Monika Wiela ended up owing my employer over $6000.00. Since I was the one who made the call to accept their shipments on a good faith (we will bring the check next time...and so they did..but it bounced back three times). Monika closed the company and my employer went after my pocket. I personally ended up paying out of my own pocket the amount this b***h owed my employer. Despite my plea she simply as ignoprant and was asking me "How can they make you pay for me". Well..simply because as a person who was in charge of collecting a payment from the client, I had a clause in my employment agreement where I'm financially responsible. I was warning her the company will go after her (lawsuit). With the backing of my employer I filed a civil lawsuit against her. She hired a lawyer, paid a retianer fee. Her lawyer contacted mine and basically said that Monika will pay only $3000.00 and we better take it since the company (us2pol) no longer exists. I agreed to that. But wait..Karma is a b***h. My lawyer called me a few weeks later inforing me he was contacted by Monika's lawyer a a courtesy just to inform that they will be filing a lawsuit against her for non payment of legal fees :-)
While shipping her shipments through my employer she started workign with another freight forwarding company whose owner she met through one of our events. A few months into the business she tried to screw that company as well by not paying their bills. They were smarter and held her stuff until she paid the past due bills.
Fast forward...Monika meets an Indian accomplice (nicknamed Biz) who starts a new venture with her... Bucikowo. Google that one... You order shoes in Poland, pay for them and then expect for the arrival in 3-4 weeks. Well.. Monika was using the other shipping company for receiving her "American" shoes from China..then was supposedly sending them to Poland. But if you do the research, it'll tell you how many people she ripped off by simply not sending the shoes. While Bucikowo's website is still up, it's very much out of business...replaced by styleupgirl.com
Styleupgirl.com is another creation of Monika but apparently it's not allowing her to rip off too many people so this leads to givebackbox.com
This time Monika is asking to donate your clothes. I have no idea how this business works but I'm a 100% certain it's another scam. Just check out the "endorsments" she has on this (VERY poorly designed) website.. Some Scientology speaker who's banned from multiple websites, her own Styleupgirl.com and others. She does have some big name companies (UPS, Newegg) but it makes you wonder how she scored those endorsments. Probably some other poor sucker (like myself...no denial about that) that she and her partner lured into thinking she's an angel. Personaly after meeting her in person I have a different kind of word that would describe her more approprietly..it starts with a W...e or s..t (yeah.. She gets what she wants, one f..k at a time.
BE CAREFUL. If you chose to do busines with her, just google it first. Better yet....go to Illinois registry of LLC companies and do a reserach. You'll see for yourself.
