Worked for Michael Kennedy for 2 weeks at 13.00per hour (overtime after 40 hrs.) After repeated requests for wages due,with nothing but delays/excuses I terminated employement. It turns out that he has done this to several others. It is well known in the 1099 painting business that he makes a habit of cheating others. There have been several complaints to the state,but he always lies his way out of any enforcement.

- 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. Maybe I should start a website for people to write and complain about others, and then whoever wants to resolve the matter with that person can give me money. I spend the money, and never notify the person who complained of anything. Seems legit to me right? Yes, before you post on this site, you may want to do some research. Also, as a poster you can pay money and you are guaranteed to have your complaint resolved quicker. What a total s c a m

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.

- A complaint against s c a m b o o k has been filed with the BBB, the ATtorney General's office of California and the ICCC (Internet Crimes Division) no response from Scambook to the BBB, The Attorney General's Office claims they are "more than aware of the situation with this website", and the ICCC said that "due to the high volume of complaints against s c a m b o o k, they are in the process of closing this site down".....if you are a victim of this website, like me, contact the authorities, do what you can to get it off the internet !! I will post updates from the FBI/ICCC....
