I am a college student and have been painting for ten years. I've never been stiffed by such a lowlife. I worked on an interior job for 70 hrs in one week(working all night long at one point) and this guy never paid me. Told me up and down that he'd have my pay tomorrow, and tomorrow and tomorrow. An investigator called me about another worker who was never paid either. Funny thing is- he still calls me for work. He'll post an ad and I'll respond and he calls me only to hang up when he realizes who he is talking to. A Brush Above is a garbage company run by a lowlife businessman

- Mr. Jeffrey Schechler contacted my office on 2/28/14 in regards to a job opening. He then went on to say he worked for me in August, 2013, (6 months earlier) and was owed money. I have no documentation to support his claim. Why did he not contact me until now? He did not know my name, my company name or phone number. Yet he claims he worked for many hours? I advised I'd double check my records, which made him more furious. He then let me know he'd write negative reviews all over the internet until he was paid. Police have been contacted regarding defamation of character, and slander. He continues to call me a scumb bag and low life, and he needs to stop. I do believe he has the wrong company. Funny how he goes on to say "he doesn't know how to paint" yet at the same time he claims he was my only painter??!! If this harrassment does not stop, I will be pursuing harrassment charges against Jeffrey Schechler. There is no reason for him to continue to go on the internet, write whatever he wants, and not be accountable for his actions. He never worked for me, and I do not know who he is. I even asked him to send me the job name, and who he worked with so I could possibly find some more information regarding his claim, however, I never heard from him, I only find these negative "reviews" everywhere on the internet.

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.

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]
