Re: David Ward: Have you used his materials?
Posted by Steven Tiedemann on 8/31/07
Rubio owes me money! I have a civil judgment against him and his company for
failing to refund my purchase price as he stated he would in his advertisements
and his letters. I returned the items. They were so full of mispellings and
grammer errors, I just did not have faith in the product sufficient to warrant
the purchase price. I returned it pursuant to his "no questions" asked offer
and he failed to pay me any money back. I sued, won judgment, and now he will
not return my calls.
