Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Thousands of dollars lost, hundreds of ph calls unanswered, months late with delivery, a product that simply does not work, lies,lies & more lies,

Am i the only one? i wondered to my self. Not hardly, I was told by the fbi, that Proton is currently under investigation, & Police reports were coming in all over the united states, like bees to a hive! Im not suprised.

They will probably will leave Ga. in the middle of the night for some country that the U.S. does not have extradition agreement with...Its a shame.

I read in one of the posts he was in business for 35 years. His filings with the state of GA say that Proton LED starts in march of 2007. What was this company before it was Proton LED? Does anyone know? This particular report reads like a soap opera and Im hooked! I believe this is the link http://corp.sos.state.ga.us/corp/soskb/Corp.asp?1291806

I was looking in to a LED sign on the internet and wanted to buy 10 signs for the stores that I have in different states. And i read all that was put on the internet and something is not right. a check that paul said was bad it said stop payment no one stop payment on a check unless there is something wrong with the product its self . If I had anyway of wanting to buy a sign from you I would'nt now. you put people private lifes on the internet so he drinks.who cares. what do you do in your private life.you are grabbing a straws. And i did call the FBI and ther is a inveatigation on you co. So who are to belive. You I do'nt thikl so. come on people use your head. No one in life is perfect.we all did something wrong in our life.And most of us still do . We are not GOD.

Here is a credibility check for both of you and anyone else you get to post here, we really don't care. Ignorance is for the weak.

#7REBUTTAL Owner of company

Fri, June 29, 2007

Gentlemen, First of all, our attorney on retainer Tommy J. Smith in Vidalia Ga will be sending you both letters in the morning for conspiracy of libelous Slander since you both have named yourselves in your allegation to our corporation. See below for the guilt by association. Secondly, Andre you have left me no alternative than to go ahead and expose your character in this post and explain to the public where your animosity stems from. Since you knew that your own credibility and character would be questioned after posting here, it seems you have parked your website www.megatronicsledsigns.com Was it because of the drunken video of yourself in a hidden link as a message from the president of Megatronics? Or maybe your outlandish con game of having 22 imaginary employees on your contact us page, when you have always been a one man show who works out of his house. If you repost the site, after reading this, no worries, we took a snapshot of the parked page too, posted on our link below! Now for the whole truth from a person who can admit fault if wrong, with out acts of malice and from a credible corporation with references from 3 different financial institutions with a 10 year track record. (q. Darby Bank Vidalia Ga 912-526-7007) Andre- You have asked our company to enter into contractual agreements with you in April of 2006 to manufacture displays for a few of your customers. You were given delivery dates for said contracts dependent on receipt of your full deposits of 50% paid and 50% due on delivery of product with net 30 terms on your first order. Since then you have shocked our entire company by receiving 3 consecutive DUI arrests in the city of Chicago Illinois back to back. When you told us of the first, you stated that your first deposit will be slightly delayed until your court hearing because you had unexpected lawyer fees to pay. We understood and told you we would support you, and that everyone makes mistakes. As time went on we received partial deposits finally on July 18th 2006 (see link below for bank letter and original contracts) and the remainder of the deposits on August 28th 2006. ( 3-4 months late due to your legal problems and you entering rehab) After which we delivered your first order of these deposits, no doubt very late due to your delinquency of sending funds, and dealing with our schedules and commitments with other clients, upsetting your customer very much, which we helped you in every way possible to rectify. Because of your instability personally we were forced to change our terms with you to COD for the remaining orders to ensure that we received payment on delivery for such a large sum of money due. You were made aware that you had to have all payments in place ready for COD on the next 2 orders, which you repeatedly would defy stating we should trust you, that when the displays were installed, you would send us the funds. My apologies, but that was impossible due to your prior history of using and mingling your customers funds for legal fees and rehabilitation. in your dilemma. You asked me personally as a principal of our company to write a letter to the Honorable Judge Sachs of Chicago Illinois to plead for mercy on your behalf, which we did (see link below) to grant you rehabilitation for an underlying problem instead of surety of jail time served for 3 consecutive DUI charges, which he granted due to our letter. ( Judge Stanley J Sachs can be contacted through the Chicago court system for validity of this claim and an email from Andre asking for the letter is posted on our link below.) All production had ceased upon you entering rehab, as our daily operations must continue and cannot be altered because of Andre's problems. Since all of this time has now passed and your customers are still left in the lurch I can understand what you must be going through since you have spent portions of their money on your legal problems, hoping that when you install their displays everything would somehow wash. That plan may be valid providing you still had the money to pay COD for delivery, which is why we are now in the situation here on this evil website that doesn't investigate the validity of any claims what so ever. On our link below posted for the public eye you will see an email to Andre that we still have $21,219.00 in escrow belonging to your disgruntled customers which we are in contact with them and their respective attorneys to satisfy Megatronics contracts bypassing Andre and Megatronics at the requests of his customers. Their names, and respective attorneys names, plus email dialog are posted on our website link below for further validity of our claims. As you can see Andre, you have us in a very awkward position with your misled clients, and we have tried to stand firm on our policies and mediate for the common good and benefit of everyone involved in this unfortunate situation. After reading your last post here, I think it best at this point to leave whatever your fate with your customers and their attorneys as we will comply with them and the ethics of what is the right thing to do. Your customers have explicitly asked us not to send you a dime of their money. As far as the question ability of the performance and service of our products, and to your customers Andre and Rob, We are flying a technician to Chicago at our expense to repair one of your displays, as they feel you have done more harm than good trying to fix it yourself. I had a lengthy conversation with David Packer yesterday and he will confirm the validity of our dialog as well. We will include his information at the Company in Chicago on our link below. Now as far as you go Rob Carter, You are a conspiring, despicably acting individual. I introduced you to Andre one year ago over the phone as a reference. Ironic huh? The only true statement you have made, is our company was late delivering your display. Things happen sometimes in production and you being in business especially in the sign industry should know that, and i'm sure have been late a time or two on delivery yourself, so he who casts the first stone..... Rob, on this vile website You made yourself out to be an employee of our company on this posting, only to contradict your ridiculous statements, by stating we sold our own employee a sign? nice try, but next time you try to portray an employee of ours, don't let your wife add a P.S. and don't mention 'you sold us' That was a dead giveaway! ( see one of your posts from ROB ) Your testimonies of this, plus the FBI investigations etc... hold about as much water as a screen door! Also I have posted all of your ridiculous emails in our link below of you saying your check was in the mail over and over again. Just give it up, your charade is over. Now to be the better man to step up to the plate, Your display holds a 5 year warranty. If it was in fact paid for as agreed we would have honored the warranty and supported it fully. However you chose not to elect that possibility by putting a stop payment on your check, so we put a stop support on your sign! What logic did you have! It's an electronic component that was transported on a truck. I've seen 6 figure displays on Vegas casino's that malfunction from any company. If telephone contact was slow, maybe we were busy, Don't you think we wanted the rest of our money?? Again, what logic you have!!?? Now to be the better man again, and to act like a reputable company, despite all of your slander and allegations, I'll still make you this offer. Send us your display that you claim was used, poor, etc. and we will issue you the full refund of $ 3870.00 that you paid on a $10,000.00 brand new display which we even sold you at a $2245.00 discount in hopes of you purchasing a lot more (Another farce just to get a deal I'm sure, but I try to keep faith in people). The whole stem of your animosity sir, is that it was late, granted. But I think Also, I told you from the beginning you needed a much bigger sign than a 3 foot by 8 foot display to resell advertising in a billboard situation for your new venture Motion Video. That size display that you purchased is suitable for a small restaurant or similar, but really a far cry from a video billboard at that size and is limited. In the future, take the advice of someone who has the experience and don't act with malice on your own stupidity in business. We have worked very hard for many years to build our reputation, only to have people with your proven ignorance displayed here try to slander our name? for revenge? I don't think so. Our link for all proof in our statements which is much more than I can say for either of you is posted at www.protonled.com/ripoff Now please get a grip so we can go on with our lives, both of you. This will be our last post, as our sales have never been better due to the fact that we keep our business ethics and morals sound and solid as our products. We are the only LED manufacturer in exsitence that can and will post video of our displays, because we can. We can admit fault when we are wrong, and will always try to find an amicable solution to any problem that may arise in normal business endevours. Let me reiterate that we have references from 3 financial institutions upon request and hundreds of happy customers worldwide. Our main business is from outside salesmen and not the internet so your really not doing yourselves any justice except to show your ignorance and at this point it's so obvious. Our phone numbers are listed on the web and will be happy to refer a list of multiple references in the US, Canada, and Europe to anyone that wants them. Let me also add that anyone can view via SkyCam our daily operations and brand new 30,000 Sq' facility by typing in your browsers address bar: remote.protonled.com/cams.htm So you say we are hiding in a hole Rob? We are the only Display manufacturer that lets their customers watch the production of there Digital signs. I will again state just to close, Our attorney we will be sending you both certified letters today, so I would be careful if any future postings continue. We will not tolerate any libelous comments made towards our company or it's employees directed with acts of Malice. Please I implore you to take our offer to settle without further dispute and be bigger men and apologize publicly. If I am in the wrong in any way, I apologize. but if it continues, it will just show your ignorance and unprofessionalism. I hate that I had to stoop to your level in a sense but you both have left me no choice. The term professional in business is to make a possibly amicable situation not hostile. Refer to your business etiquette books if you need help in this category. Our Attorney Tommy J. Smith Esq, can be contacted at 912-537-3030 And is also a Georgia supreme Court Judge, with a retainer for our defense for the past 4 years. END!

I am the office manager of Stroud Signs and have all documents proving that we only put a stop payment on our check 12 days after delivery and were unable to get Protons product to work or get any response from them, sounds to me he has a big scam in the works and is trying to cover his tail, anyone wanting proof of this feel free to email us (((redacted))) and I personally took the call from the FBI when they called here and also have read the emails the FBI agent sent us for more information he needed. Keep watching this report for more PROOF IE: pictures and copies of delivery date and stop payment date,way too much time spent gathering all info to just pick on Proton, they have a poor product simple as that. CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.

THIS INDIVIDUAL WROTE A BAD CHECK FOR A COD DELIVERY WITH NO INTENT TO PAY!!!!

#9REBUTTAL Owner of company

Mon, June 25, 2007

Mr, --- For over 1 year now you have not made any attempt to pay for the bad check you gave a trucking company to receive your display. Your bank had informed us that a stop payment was made the day BEFORE DELIVERY took place! Of course we will not support the product, until you can make arrangements to fully pay for the product that you outright stole from Proton LED. The trucking company that delivered it, in good faith took your personal check and delivered the product to you. When we contacted you why the check was not honored, you gave us nothing but excuses and empty promises of payment to no avail. Luckily for us, your computer crashed and lost it's activation code for the software. That's karma for you. You had also stooped to the level of having someone in your area contact us saying that they bought a used display on Ebay, to try to get an unlock code for your computer, which we later discovered the truth when we asked for the serial number of the display, which turned out to be yours, and when we threatened to take legal action against them for possession of stolen property, they came clean and told us what you were trying to do. Posts of the emails between that person and Proton are available at www.protonled.com/ripoff For the record, there is no pending investigation by the FBI, nor any lawsuits filed with our company as of this writing, and we are registered with the secretary of state in Georgia as a legal entity and Corporation. I can assure you sir, we will at this point take any and all actions against you for your theft by deception. A copy of your check will be posted at www.protonled.com/ripoff for any one who reads this post. We also will post our own ripoff report about Stroud signs aka Motion Video and Rob Carter. Also, Andre, the other person who wrote negative and untrue comments here has mentioned your name to us in the past, so we know that you and him are conspiring to make these allegations on this website. You should be ashamed of yourself.
