are you kidding? the thief of thieves threatening Legal action againist anyone? you should be down on your knees, like your son, thanking God that you haven't been thrown in jail for all the money you've stolen from people like me. oh, and the obviously phony retorts to the consumer complaints...really? you can't even find someone who can spell your name right, but they claim to know you inside out. what a joke. unfortunately, the money you stole from me is no joke and you and your family are bottomfeeders.
fortunately people DO check out the rip off report and thank God it is here to warn people against scumbags like you/worldwide candy/candy builders. i only wish i looked up the rip off report BEFORE i "invested" (read, gave you the opportunity to steal from me) any money with your fraudlent company worldwide candy/candy builders.
People...Do NOT give this man or any family member (like his wife Elaine, or whatever she calls herself today) any money...they will rob you blind. Oh and that last comment that a "defender" of sonny/seymour wiessen used about "calling sonny if you have a problem and NOT using the rip off report to solve your problem"...well good luck on that one....once him and his grubby family get ahold of your money he will NOT take calls (his son's run interference for him). these people are trash.

When I first read this report not only was I appalled, but I was also very angry. I have worked closely with Seymore (Sunny) Wiessen and know for a FACT that all of this accusations are not even close to true. Sunny is a amazing, hard working man that has built his own company from the ground up. He has continued to grow CandyBuilders into a very prestigious company that has been working for big name clients for more than 20 years. All current, past, and future clients will be more than happy to stand by me when I say that this is nothing but fabrication. For you to post this about Sunny, and bring his family into this, is just horrible. Whatever you have against Sunny should be brought up with him directly, you cant just go on a blog and trash his company with nothing but lies. If you actually knew him then you would be appalled by this. Seymore, Sunny, Wiessen is the most honorable and trustworthy person I know.

Do NOT forget to add Sonny Wiessen's drug and sex abusing sons to list of con artists. Andrew Wiessen is a know drug addict and lying scum bad. Robert Wiessen is a disgusting pig of a man who abuses young boys. Doing any business with this family is like going into business with THE DEVIL! STAY AWAY FROM THE Wiessen FAMILY!

i too was scammed by sonny/seymour wiessen and his family of bandits. i wrote a report about worldwide candy consultants and wanted to add something here, asthis business now goes by the name candy builders.
they are absolute frauds and will steal your money. they lied to my partner and i. they promised a service for which they knew they could not possibly deliver to scam us out of our money.
sonny/seymour wiessen and his wife elaine hold properties under aliases, sonny/seymour wiessen's companies constantly change names, agents, and you will have to dig deep to find sonny/seymour wiessen's name as owner of anything. like most crooks, he lives/works undercover. his son's do his lying for him once you find out he's ripped you off.
good luck getting him on the phone...his son's carry on the charade of "his business" by fielding phone calls, lying about his whereabouts, once he's been found out. as soon as you realize he's stolen your money, he will mysteriously "disappear" and his son's begin the lying game, hoping you'll give up.
sonny/seymour wiessen worked with "darin", an englishman (probably not his real name) when we first engaged in a contract with sonny/seymour wiessen. the service we needed (we found out later) could ONLY be done by an educated chemist, yet sonny/seymour, his sons, and the phony englishman darin TOOK our money, knowing they we're lying about their ability to actually do the job. part of what we paid for was sample product..2,500 pieces...what we got was
zero..nada..nothing. when confronted, sonny/seymour wiessen screamed into the phone, hung up, and refused to take our calls. darin also "disappeared"...the only available people to talk to were sonny/seymour's sons...he must be very proud of how his boys have followed in the family footsteps of lying, cheating, conning, and scamming people out of their hard earned cash.
we should have done our research earlier and avoided this circus of bandits. we should have known that their lowgrade website (now called http://www.candybuilders.com/ wouldn't represent anything but a fly by night "business". we only learned what shifty, conniving thieves they are after the fact.
sonny/seymour weissen and his wife elaine own numerous properties (under different names) in lake tahoe, los angeles, and las vegas. sonny/seymour weissen doesn't attach his name to much, including his own "business". what honest business person changes the name of the business regularly, changes agents regularly, uses phony names for property/business records, trains his sons in the art of lying, takes money for services he is incapable of providing, and disappears like a thief in the night when he's caught cheating and lying? and let's not forget his phony business
partner darin, the englishman, who also dropped out of sight when it became clear that they had taken my partner and i to the cleaners.
be wise and STAY AWAY FROM CANDY BUILDERS/WORLD WIDE CANDY CONSULTANTS/SONNY SEYMOUR WEISSEN! they will RIP YOU OFF! they will STEAL YOUR MONEY! their operation is FAKE and their only goal is to SCAM YOU out of your money!

I was recently made aware of this website and particularly the report
concerning Mr. Sonny Wiessen of Worldwide Candy Consultants and his sons.
Its one thing to post a report concerning a business issue but personal
attacks and name calling are uncalled for and I felt compelled to post a
rebuttal attesting to Sonny Wiessen as both and individual and businessman.
I was introduced to Sonny via a work associate who he has done business
with Sonny over years and felt Sonny and Worldwide Candy with over 30 years
experience could help us with our product . We have full confidence and
belief in our product, have always received great customer reviews, but
looking back over the years we have made numerous mistakes handling our
product. We came to Sonny at a time when our product had stagnated a bit,
and we wanted a new, fresh perspective in order to evaluate the next step.
Working together with Sonny and Worldwide Candy for several years now,
we have not looked back or regretted our decision. Sonny has been
generous with time and has always made himself available to discuss all
aspects of our product.

As an upper level employee of Worldwide Candy Consultants, I can say that this claim is completely and utterly FALSE. First of all, we do not know who made this claim as we only deal with companies and not individuals. Whoever this is should come out and identify themselves so we can defend our company against such harsh words. You claim that we are being investigated by government agencies... not to our knowledge. Also, you claim "several others" have done business with us and received similar treatment... Please provide proof of this as we have no knowledge of any of this. If you go to our website, you will see that we have been a provider of quality candy for over 40 years to major companies. www.candybuilders.com We consider these words to be slander and if they are not removed we will seek legal action.
