15. The BBB contacted them 3 times in nearly 2 months without success then they closed the case on April 5, 2012.

We lose hope to get our small donated organization money back and the last hope has come to you. I hope you can help us and wish you the best!

I wish this kind of business practice should be punished for their behavior and our donated money shouldn’t be going to this kind of person’s hand.

Regards,
