I would like to get some guidance on how to deal with this. There used to be a blogging site named Loudlaunch.com which I was a member of for the last 3-4 years. Loudlaunch is owned by a lady named Dr. Toni Mantini Atkinson who is a clinical psychologist who has a clinic at 9221 Woodbine Ave, Markham, Ontario, Canada. She was the one who replied to emails and made the PayPal payments initially. She was then joined by some Angela Ridley who used to reply to the emails in the later stages. They owed me a large amount of money for the work I did for them. Initially they paid. However, over the last 2 years, they just started giving excuses that they would eventually pay once they transitioned to their "new website" and other such excuses. Then, last year, they sent out an email saying that they were shutting down but would "eventually" pay (with no word as to when that would be). Then they took their website off the net and starting sending out auto-responses saying the same thing whenever someone mailed them. However, it's been a year now with no payment or word from them. After doing a Google search, I saw that many others have been scammed as well, and they owe thousands of dollars to many bloggers. I could tell for some time (over the last 1 year) that this was coming, but due to some serious personal problems, I never had the time to follow up with this. Now I would like to get my payment somehow, as it's a large amount, and I really need the money as well. Moreover, I don't see why they should be allowed to get away with this. I tried to once call up the Ontario clinic number of the owner Dr. Toni Atkinson, given as 905-475-2167 on their website but no one replied. Is there any way I can make a formal complaint someplace where they would have the authority to pressurize this company to make the payments? Or do you have any other suggestion on how to get my payment? Is there any member in Ontario who can try to call or personally go to this lady's clinic in Ontario and complain in person? By the way, I have all the proofs (their own emails to me stating how much they owed me, screenshots of my account with the amount they owe me, etc.) to back up my claims if required.
Not sure why the need to be putting addresses and phone numbers? Anyway.. you have 2 options: 1) If you have proof, get a lawyer. 2) If you have the address, get some big friends and a van.. Personally - I think you should go with number 1) - it is a girl after all
If it is a girl, then: she has the van and some big guys... and sounds like a civil matter.... If she has no money, then you may never see any... If she is loaded, you most certainly will never see any... Is this her: http://www.fact.on.ca/news/news0207/tt020724.htm and she appears to have hype-reviews.... http://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/3473012/Dr-Toni-Atkinson-Markham-ON.html Sorry for your loss....
Yes, that is the same lady. Someone told me that she is currently the director at Blue Balloon in Aurora, ON , whereas she is not supposed to be seeing patients because her license to practice psychology is suspended as of January 15, 2014 pending a discipline hearing. Thus, she is scamming in her capacity as a psychologist also, in addition to scamming in the capacity of a business owner. I feel so frustrated. I really wish I had a friend who lived near her office, who could go to her office or to Blue Balloon and keep pestering her to pay up Here is a link that shows she has scammed so many others through her LoudLaunch business as well: http://loudlaunch-seo-payment-scam.blogspot.in/
