Secure Trac Inspections Beware!

[Spencer B. Johns]

I just wanted to let people know that I have preformed 3 inspections for Secure Trac about three months ago and I still have not gotten paid! I have called spoke with Blain, left messages with Mike, sent e-mails and even sent a paypal invoice but still have gotten no response. If they call you to do an inspection for them I would ask to get paid up front.

FYI: The inspections consist of taking photos of machines and equipment of all kinds. They have been spoken about here on the message board in the past and seemed to have a good rep but I have found them to not hold up to their end of the deal. Beware!

Same thing happened to me a little over a year ago. Never did get paid from them. I wouldn't use them again either.

I did a bunch for them a while back. I always charged their credit card on the day I did the inspection. No problems.

I have done numerous inspections for them and never had a problem with being paid. Just run their CC on the day of inspection.

I had done an inspection in North Idaho about two months ago and after several phone calls I still haven't been paid.

Always get payment at time of inspection.

Nuff said!

Ripped me off twice. Can we report them to someone and at the very least put a bad mark on their business. I would imagine this has happened to many.

[Mark A. Simmons]

Not a problem here. Been paid every time.

[Scott A. Hand]

Did it once...Never got paid! Blaine told me that the report was sent to the bank and she was just waiting on payment from them. When she gets paid I'll get paid is how she put it.

Only took a total of about 15 minutes of my time so no big deal. But on principal I would like my money that was promised. $50 bucks is $50 bucks!

Not sure she ever gave me the choice of charging her credit card! Don't have her number anymore to follow up on this.

Man! I forgot about this whole thing and put it behind me! Seeing this thread and reading the posts has me thinking about this again! Now I'm pissed again!:twisted :

[Scott A. Hand]

Now I remember too that she only called me because the normal person they would use in this area could not be reached and they needed the inspection done within a few hours that day!

AHHHHHH!

Think nice thoughts Scott! Soothing thoughts!:twis ted:

BEWARE!!!
I did an inspection on May 29, 2009 for Secure Trac and still haven't been paid 90 days later! SCAMERS!!! I've called numerous times and they've promised immediate payment each time.

Wish I had seen the complaints prior to dealing with them !

Add go ole Allan to the suckers duped by Securetrac. I did an inspection 6/17/09 and have been chasing my payment since the 45 day mark. Ms Conti was my contact. Its funny now when I call she does not answer with her name and if called by her name she ask "who is this". It must be terrible to be so scared to answer a business line becauce you owe money.

I might be different than some people, I'm going to be such a pain that they will express ship me the $ 50. I talked to Ms Conti (Blaine) today and told her that I was not going away and that I was calling everyday and emailing till I get paid. I sent an email to the so called billing person Shannon (does not have a phone number hmmm) and filled a complant with the Florida Attorney General and the BBB (they are not a member) and that I will be around till I get paid.

I know cut my loses and let it go....nah this will be much more fun. Can you imagine coming to work knowing that you will get asked for payment every day and your answering machine will be full when you come in with request. As inspections slow down this fall/winter what a great way to have fun.

I didn't do the inspection for the money, I was just a couple of miles away and between time slots the day of the inspection. Blaine sounded nice and I thought if I can help this nice lady and not be out much time or travel than thats nice. So what started out not being about the money has turned into all about the money,kwan,pounds,pescos, ect.

Don't give up on your money call them several times everyday !
Grandma always said the squeeky wheel gets the grease !

Blaine's direct number is 727-781-0292 she wants you to get paid just ask her.

[Scott A. Hand]

Well here is a wild turn of events! I did the first and only equipment inspection for them way the heck back and never got paid. Called Blaine several times and felt I got the run around. Gave up trying!

Today, I get a call from a Private Number on my cell, so I answer and it is Blaine with Secure Trac. Asking if I remember who they were? I said "Of course I remember you...I never got paid for the job I did for you months and months ago!". She said "What! Really? Let me call the office and look into this!". She called back a few minutes later ready to pay me for that job. I told her she can pay on my website with a credit card and right then and there she did it! I confirmed that the payment was made and now we are square!

She had another job for me taking pics of some mattresses at the local Holiday Inn. I told her I would certainly do that for her now that I was paid. So I did it, submitted my report and pics this evening and she will pay me again on my website as soon as she sees all the docs and pics tomorrow.

So they have regained my confidence in them. I will only accept payment by credit card with them from now on as I have never received the check from last time. Not to mention they want the job done like the same day. So if I can do it the same day for them I expect to be paid the same way...FAST!

If you haven't got paid, it might be worth digging up your file number for the job you did and call them to research it and see if you can do the credit card for payment on that.

I think they are legit, they just have had some issues with communication and follow up possibly.

[adavis1]

Glad that you got your money Scott (for the inspection you did months ago). I will be very very surprised if you get the money for the Holiday Inn inspection...well at least until they need you again.

I disagree with you on them being legit, if you read the sheer number of complaints on here you know that it is not a communication problem. She got your money right away when she needed another inspection. Communication sure was not a problem then was it ?

I have emailed Ms. Conti and Shannon both numerous times trying to get my money. When I called today asking when I was going to get paid, I was told that she had given me the proper channels to get my money. The proper channel that she gave me is an email address that has never been answered for Shannon@securetrac.com and of course she has no phone number to call because she is part time. I guess she works 2 hours a day every leap day.

When I asked about getting paid she said that her police detective husband was going to file harrassment charges against me for bothing her. I told her I wanted the money for the work that I have completed. She hung up.

Now ask yourself folks is this a Company you want to be involved with ? I did suggest that her husband use his detective skills to find out why I was not getting paid. What do you call a person who takes your service and does not pay you. It would be either theft or fraud in my book. Hopefully this will catch up with them in a court of law. I feel sorry for people who lie for $ 50, really is sad that someone would lie and sell thier soul so cheap. Again congrats Scott for getting anything, I would send her the pics in 4-5 months and say that was how you got paid and thats how you inspect...lol...tell you will check on the problem and to email you cause you work part time...lol
