I am a college student and I paint to pay tuition and bills. I have been painting for over ten years and have never been stiffed by an employer. This lowlife scumbag named Mike who owns A Brush Above Painting hired me to do an interior- which I worked on by myself for over 70 hrs in one week ( painting all night at one point) and he never paid me. He kept telling me he'd pay me tomorrow, he'd pay me tomorrow- I received a call from an investigator regarding another worker he'd never paid. Funny thing is- I've responded to ads for work and he'll call me. He hangs up pretty quick when he realizes who he's called. DON"T HIRE THIS LOWLIFE- HE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO PAINT. HE HIRES STRUGGLING COLLEGE KIDS TO DO WORK AND NEVER PAYS THEM.

  • 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.

    F On a scale of A+ to F 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 Scam book. Complainants allege that complaints posted on Scam book 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 Scam book 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 Scam book. 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 Scam book to have the review removed. Complainants also claim that positive reviews posted on Scam book are removed and that they have had trouble contacting Scam book personnel as their emails and phone calls go unanswered for weeks.

    Additional Information
    On April 30, 2012, a representative of the BBB visited Scam book's location. It was learned that 980 N. Michigan Ave, Ste 1400 is a virtual office. Representatives from Scam book 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]
