Re: Dealings with Long Creek Apiary
Grizbee, that really stings!
inch:
I too am paying interest on my $740.00 I sent in good faith to David Winters, and other expenses I borrowed from my bank to get ready for my bees; a $200.00 solar fencer and extra batteries, to keep the bears out of my apiary, pollen patties, honey b healthy, fumigilan-b, and two 50 pound bags of sugar. A little over a $1,000.00. My time to file complaints. I too, depended on a honey crop as my payback. I will not have that this year, or the income, and it will set me back.
I will also have to borrow an additional $800 to order bees this year, so I will most likely be paying interest on $1800 or so.
I email David winters frequently to remind him how many days it has been since I asked for my refund of $740.00. I thought about your post about the interest, so I sent David Winters, and his attorney, an ‘invoice’ detailing the money David winters owes me plus the interest my bank is charging me…….
Seems I will be at the end of the line for David Winters refunding my money. I am behind you and Mike S. and others in this forum because
this is what David Winters told me when I asked for my money and questioned him about the complaints of refunds dating back to 2008 (long before the filing of his divorce); “
You are correct, I will refund in order of receipt. It is only fair, I have owed them longer than you and they should be refunded before you.”
Uh-oh….
you have been waiting for over a year???
There was some discussion here about American Bee Supply so I contacted the Tennessee Department of State, Business Services Division, and the Tennessee Department of Revenue. David Winters company, American Bee Supply, Inc was dissolved and revoked for revenue reasons on
June 28,
2005. Both government agencies told me American Bee Supply was “
dissolved and the business license was revoked by the Tennessee Department of Revenue for delinquency of taxes, including one or more of the following: business back taxes, sales and use tax, franchise tax, or excise tax, depending on the nature of the business.” The Tenn. Dept of Revenue also told me that David Winters could not engage in business under American Bee Supply until taxes were paid in full, including penalties and interest.
I also did a domain search. David Winters acquired the domain name, Long Creek Apiaries, on
November 11, 2005, 4 months after American Bee Supply was revoked for revenue reasons by the Tennessee Department of Revenue.
According to domain searches I did, David Winters has 11 domain names registered to his email address of
beeman01@wildblue.net: here are 5: Long Creek Apiaries.com, Caucausianbreeder.com, WildblueTennessee.com, RussianBreeder.net, and Honeybeebreeder.com.
I have 4 email addresses for David Winters:
sales@longcreekapiaries.com;
sales@causianbreeder.com;
beeman01@wildblue.net; and
beeman01@longcreekapiaries.com.
I have 2 addresses for David Winters:
3223 Long Creek Road and 3225 Long Creek Road, Parrottsville, Tennessee.
What does this information add up to? Hmmmm, makes me wonder if I will ever see my money. I wish I had found this forum when it started.
220 days or 7 months and 6 days since I sent David Winters a cashier’s check for $740.00, cashed 6 days later by David Winters, March 9, 2010.
101 days or 3 months and 9 days since I demanded a refund from David Winters.
