For hose new to the board, I will try to summarize the info from the missing RE thread:
-The problems had been going on for over 2 years before RE closed it's doors.
-Dee Shops and I went to battle with RE and finally got paid. We warned all on the board to shop at their own risk.
-After 1 year, the BBB finally answered that our claims would not be accepted, since they were 'business to business' and not consumer complaints.
-Many shoppers contacted the AG in Chicago.
-I personally contacted all of the RE clients and explained that shoppers were being defrauded. One answered me and dropped RE as a client.
-Yael finally chimed in here and explained that she did not get her last paycheck when RE finally closed down. She apologized and sympathized, then explained that she felt she was not responsible for the problem. The thread disappeared around that time.
I wish you luck in any class action suit you can bring forward, but if you read through these boards and learn the history behind other defunct MSCs, you will find that it can be an expensive proposition and really difficult to force the money from Karen, even with a judgement.
I'm sorry for everyone that has lost money due to the unscrupulous business practices of RE and all other shady MSCs. Like MSing scams, it pays to do a Google search when things are awry. The writing for this MSC closure was predicted 2 years ago and yet shoppers continued to work for them. I did my best to warn them......
