Worked for this shyster for several months never paid me on time or in full.He owes at least 12 other people money varying from 280 to 1600 dollars.
He also rips people of for deposit monies so never pay him up front.

Is known to the Michigan courts for this.

Have given him 6 weeks to pay me outstanding money and has not even contacted me.

So if you have been warned. Never work for or employ Mr Michael Kennedy or A Brush Above Painting.

  • How can a business even respond to a complaint submitted by "anonymous" I don't even know who this person is. Why is it any person can go on the internet and write whatever they want with no truth confirmed by anyone? I never received any type of notice that there was a complaint on here, so how could this possibly get resolved. Not sure what the purpose of this site is, if the business is never contacted by the person who post the complaint, they do not use a name, they post as anonymous, and the actual site doesn't notify you that someone has filed a complaint. You realize there is a complaint by seeing it on google. You write to the site several times, and finally get an automated response telling you to enter credit card information so that you can pay to resolve this matter. First off, why would I pay to resolve a matter when I don't even know who wrote the complaint. For all I know the site could have written it just so I'd pay to resolve. After further investigation into this site, s c a m b o o k, the better business bureau has an alert for this company. They are extorting small businesses, using fake complaints to make them pay to resolve the matter, and they do not even have an office. This is a website created by someone from their home, who is taking money from people and then doing nothing with it. People need to stop posting on here, its not a legitimate website. Go to the better business bureau of Chicago and check them out yourself. They have been on the News also. They should be getting pulled off the internet sooner or later. In the meantime, just remember, you can not believe everything you read.

    Additional Complaint Information


    A recent review of complaints filed with the BBB of Chicago & Northern Illinois against the company delineates a pattern of consumer allegations.

    It is important to note that in this case other businesses are the "consumers" as they are the ones interacting with Scambook. Complainants allege that complaints posted on Scambook are false. Complainants also claim that either the business has never had dealings with the unhappy customer, or this customer stated they were satisfied with the business's work. Businesses also allege that Scambook charges business's to have their negative reviews removed from the website, despite whether or not these reviews are true. The complainants claim they do not have to contact the consumer and attempt to resolve the issue; they simply must pay a fee to Scambook. According to the complaints, even if the customer review is true, and the business contacts the customer and rectifies the problem, they still must pay a fee to Scambook to have the review removed. Complainants also claim that positive reviews posted on Scambook are removed and that they have had trouble contacting Scambook personnel as their emails and phone calls go unanswered for weeks.

    Additional Information
    topOn April 30, 2012, a representative of the BBB visited Scambook's location. It was learned that 980 N. Michigan Ave, Ste 1400 is a virtual office. Representatives from Scambook were not available, and the location is shared by several other unrelated businesses.

  • Scambook.com[edit]

    On March 1, 2011, Andrew Bachman and longtime business partner, Lin Miao, founded Scambook.com. [14] Scambook.com is under investigation by the Attorney General in the USA for fraudulent trading. The FBI received thousands of complaints from both companies and consumers about their activities and there has also been an investigative report which has been televised by NBC Chicago News. [15] The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has issued a red alert against the company. [16] The investigations and complaints allege that Scambook.com posts fraudulent 'complaints' about companies and individuals on Scambook.com and then extorts money from the victims of these fraudulent 'complaints' in order to have the 'complaints' removed from Scambook.com. Companies are expected to subscribe to Scambooks “Business Resolve” service, where they effectively have to pay either $100.00 per month, $300.00 per month, or $500.00 per month, by using a credit card. It is important to note that these charges are due each and every month if the company wants to be able to deal with any complaints made. [17] [18] [19] [20]

    On April 23, 2012, Andrew Bachman certified to the SEC that he was the President of Scambook LLC, located at 875 North Michigan Ave, 1st Floor, Chicago Illinois, 60611. [21] On April 30, 2012, a representative of the BBB visited Scambook’s location. It was learned that the location is a virtual office. Representatives from Scambook were not available, and the location is shared by several other unrelated businesses. [22]
