Did anyone get their money back? Anyone heard from pcnc?

[Wild Horse]

I know one or two got some partial "refunds". I believe Mr. Johnson was in court yesterday with one individual, but haven't heard the outcome...it was small claims court I think. I know one or two others have joined by sending their info on to the detectives and prosecutor's office. I haven't heard back from the prosecutor's yet, but hope to very soon. I also believe his phone is disconnected...again ? To date, he I believe he hasn't responded to any communications with anyone he's screwed over.

I also believe...and hope....that his next communication is something like "hey there, bubba johnson....bend over and pick up that soap for me, will ya ?"

If anyone else has been screwed over by pcnc/bill johnson, and need the contact info on the detective/prosecutor, feel free to contact me either by email or pm.

I am still waiting. My CC company put the money back into my account, then took it out again after PayPal claimed I had no proof I ever returned the machine. I had offered to send the proof to both PayPal and the CC company, but both said "it wasn't needed at this time". After sending in the proof to the CC company, the money is back in the account, but I still have to wait 45 days for the PayPal response. I have emailed the Sheriff's Department in Vevay to see how they are coming on the case. So far, it seems like no one from Vevay will return an email!

For some reason, it seems the county prosector is dragging her feet on this. I haven't received any phone calls back from my messages...she has had the documentation for about a month if not more now.

I guess I would urge everyone that has been screwed by pcnc/bill johnson to email me or pm me and I will give you the name and phone number of the county prosecutor...then PLEASE call her ! Maybe if enough of us get after her, we can get sometlhing done....before he takes off !

Have there been any Mr. PCNC sightings lately? Has anyone heard from him or about his present location? Seems he may have bolted already. Does anyone else wonder if ripoff was intended? Or he spent our money on shop or??? And couldn't cover. Regardless, we're ripped off now, and that's a crime. Wish authorities were a little more forthcoming. Also still thinking about cnc, not sure which way to go. Budget is low (THANKS BILL!) so that is major consideration. Never operated cnc before but would like to incorporate into small woodworking shop. Mainly cutting solid wood parts (3/4"). PCNC had promised to fit that need. Any ideas helpful.

[Wild Horse]

I don't believe he has bolted....there have been sightings of him during this past week at his shop location. Apparently our funds are going to good use....he's building his new polebarn/shop ?????

I am more optimistic now than ever that he will get his....I won't share alot here right now, but suffice it to say more info is coming to light and I think the slow wheel of justice is pretty close to running this cowardly thief over.

Received an email from Fran Marburgh of the office of the Indiana Attorney General, Customer protection division. I wrote them asking about the status of all of our complains against Bill Johnson of PCnC Automation, and if anything is being done as of yet...... See the reply below:
Dear Brian,
I am not sure where you received the information that we have many complaints in our system against this business, but we only have one and that one is yours. At this time, we have not received a written response from them. We have sent a FINAL NOTICE to them which is due by 3/26/10. Until we have a written response from the business, we will have no further update for you. Once a response is received, we will forward that to you for review/rebuttal. If no such response is received, we will be forced to close the file based on their failure to respond and you will need to either take them to small claims court or speak with private counsel in order to seek restitution/resolution.
Sincerely,
Fran Marburgh
Consumer Mediator

I am surprised to hear that I am the only one who wrote to complain about Bill Johnson and PCnC Automation! I thought there were more of you that wrote to the Indiana Attorney General to file a complain?

If it is true that I am the only one that filed a complaint, then Bill Johnson will be laughing all the way to the bank again!!!

[ashgrimm]

I filed a complaint online. and received a letter from them stating that my complaint was between two businesses and a civil matter.
I am not a business. the Indiana attorney general was no help to me and apparently filed my complaint in the round file cabinet.
Thanks..

[Wild Horse]

I filed quite a while ago and hadn't heard a thing.

I just re-filed online....we'll see I guess.

I cannot believe that if he simply doesn't respond,
they will close it ?????????

I also have another surprise for him....very shortly.
See you soon bill...real soon.

[dobrientruckers]

y2khines also filed - see post #31

y2khines and ash - did you guys get your money back from PayPal?

I got my last $1000 back that I had given him for a tool changer upgrade but not the money for the router and software.

Maybe everyone should e-mail Fran Marburgh - bdsorcic, do you have her e-mail address?

I thought I had filed this information online. I submitted to the BBB, the Internet Crime Complaint Department, and the Vevay Police Department, and have the forms , if necessary for Small Claims Court. I will mail my form (it is yellow in case there are others of you out there that need to send their form in) to them tomorrow along with other evidence I have.
