National Imaging Distributors
There are a number of people who have complained that they have been ripped off by the business opportunity, National Imaging Distributors. The website no longer exists, but the google cache can be read here.
One distributor, an Anne from Florida, states:
Finally in February 2006 I wrote a letter to Jack Teitelbaum CEO and told him that I wanted a full refund or I would expose his scam to every reporter and State agency in the State of Florida.Not 1 hour after I faxed the letter I got a phone call from Jack and a meeting was arranged at their office in Tamarac.
During the meeting we were informed by Teitelbaum that a refund was not possible because he was having some financial problems and did not have the money to refund. He assured us that he would be able to deliver the machines but he had a great location in a university for us to go into but they had to send the paperwork to their legal department so it would take a few weeks. At this point we decided to take the chance and hope to get into business, so we waited.
Mike the locations manager called me every week with an update but then during the beginning of May the calls stopped and I would leave messages but never got a call back.
Last week I faxed another letter to Teitelbaum and did not receive a reply. I drove to their office only to find a big sign on the door that says the company is closed and to send any inquiries to Box 25204, Tamarac, Fl. 33319.
The bottom line is this. What Teitelbaum did is FRAUD! He stole my money and he stole money from lots of other people. We were shown fraudulent location agreements to steer us into doing business with them. Once they got our money. The locations no longer existed.
Teitelbaum needs to be in jail. If you have been ripped off by these guys you need to file with the appropriate state agencies listed asap.
Anne then goes on to ask individuals to contact among other regulators: Consumer Protection Services, which enforces the Florida Biz Op rule?
What is odd, from a due diligence point of view about Anne's letter?
