Complaint Review: tile 4 you - troy Michigan

Isn't the internet a wonderful place?  It would be if it wasn't for sites like this.

I am Jaz Castiglione of Tile 4 You llc, Troy Michigan.  What you've read above is a total lie, nothing in it is true.  There is no Stan C.  Nothing like that ever happened nor will it every in the future.  I will try to explain what's going on.

It starts with Craigslist.  I have been posting ceramic tile services ads on Craigslist for several years.  As you may know, Craigslist does not have the greatest reputation for ethicacy, and for finding legitimate goods and services, but it's free.  Being one of only a handful of licensed tile setters advertising in the Detroit area CL I made it a point to let people know that tile setter (and certain other contractors), are required to be licensed in Michigan.  This didn't go over so well with the illegal contractors.

In early Feb. 2011, I was contacted  (email & later by phone) by a person who claimed to be Dave Johnston, I later learned he runs a contractor referral scheme in Craigslist.  (Elite Leads, also Elite Construction)   He uses a program that fouls Craigslist so he can post hundreds of ads instead of the 2 a day we are allowed.  He was accusing me of "flagging" his ads and wanted me to stop or else?  I had never heard of him or his company until then.  

After some rather unpleasant emails and phone messages, he started the "or else".

He said he would post ads giving my phone number for all sorts of things.  The next day Craigslist was full of ads selling cars, vans, boats, coins, Disney Memorabilia, old records, and garage sales, all with my telephone number.  I received dozens of calls and messages.  When I didn't respond to him, he threatened to post all kinds of negative comments and said I should look in Rip Off Report.  There I saw the piece of garbage above. 

Later the harassment heightened to physical threats.  He still thought I was "flagging even when I was away on a cruise.  When I returned and found the messages I had one last conversation to which he apologized about "all the trouble" and said he hopes I can get the "stuff on Rip Off removed" and ended with "sorry".  Yes......he is a sorry person.  He should be in the license plate making business soon, If there's any justice.

The problem is that Rip Off will allow anyone to post anything with no verification or proof that any of it is true.  Then they sell ads for lawyers services and "bad comment removal" services. 

Tile 4 You llc. has been in business since 1987, I have never had a bad legitimate comment about the company or me.  I support the BBB and have an "A+" rating with the BBB of SE Michigan.  Check it out at the BBB site yourself.   http://www.bbb.org/eastern-michigan/business-reviews/tile-ceramic-contractors-and-dealers/castiglione-tile-company-in-troy-mi-13010595/ Look up by phone number, (248-689-7719) Tile 4 You or Castiglione Tile.  

There is another report here that is also a lie.  I has to do with missing medications.  After some investigation we have found another report posted by who we believe is Dave Johnston several years ago making the same accusations of someone else and actually is written almost word for word.  

In case anyone is interested, someone posted a Rip Off report about this "Dave Johnston of Elite Construction".  http://www.ripoffreport.com/Search/Dave-Johnston.aspx 

In case anyone would like to see, read or listen to some of the messages left by this "Dave Johnston" to verify what really happened, let me know.
