Greg Sclafani Marquerit Sclafani

GREGORY SCLAFANI GREAT LOGISTICS LLC

Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, 27526

Gregory Sclafani has been setting up multiple Transport Companies for many years. Currently operating under Great Logistics or http://www.allthecompletelogistics.com/. Only accepts Bank Routing information but becomes quite irritated and threatening if you decide not to fall victim to his game.

Current website address is a Cemetery Pic attached .

Greg Sclafani's scam is simple enough, as laid out in the numerous court documents and records compiled by the AG's Office. His company claims to move people's vehicles long distances. But though he runs an ad claiming that ABK has "terminals in 48 states" in the Yellow Pages with an 800 number, he neither owns nor operates a depot or trucks.

He is just a broker, which the AG's Office says is misleading to customers. Key to the scam is that Sclafani persuades customers to pay up-front, usually telling them that his credit-card machine is on the blink and then convincing them to allow direct deposit from their checking accounts. Once he has their bank numbers, he often helps himself to additional payments, according to court documents. He then subcontracts the hauling to independent truckers and tow companies. Some of the vehicles do get delivered, but Sclafani regularly stiffs the haulers as well, according to court documents, and they often refuse to release the vehicles to Sclafani's customers until they get paid.

That's where it gets sticky for the customers. According to court documents, Sclafani threatens them with lawsuits, refuses to issue refunds, and passes the responsibility off to the haulers.

It is scary how many years they have gotten away with this! I have lost track of how names they have gone under to this point. They started out in Long Island NY and after decades of this behavior they got a slap on the wrist from Cuomo with a whopping $175,000 order of restitution. Please note that many of their past clients are senior citizens and Greg would threaten all sorts of bodily harm over the phone if any of these clients complained. (www ag.ny.gov/press-release/new-york-state-attorney-general-andrew-m-cuomo-obtains-order-requiring-restitution) Part of why you shouldn't deal with low ball price brokers.
