University Painters marketing materials scam
How much can you afford? See an actual email from Don Cusik, Josh Jablon's bosom buddy, who's marketing materials and services are all but forced upon new students.
Original version of this email from Don Cusik
Dear Outlet Managers:
Your $3000.00 bill will soon be $4224.99! See example below.
You must send your payment in 24 hours to avoid Collection fees and Interest. I will be meeting with a collection attorney in the next few days to process collections for non-payment.
This is your last chance to pay your bill before it gets much larger. I have extended credit for over 6 months for most Outlet Managers and I MUST be paid. If you don't have the funds you must find someone else to loan you the funds or pay by Credit Card.
Enclosed is a copy of your original order form (PDF) that shows the terms you agreed to earlier this year.
Please email or call me now with your plan for pay off. If I don¹t hear from you in 24 hours by phone or email your bill will be passed on to collections.
Below is an example of what a bill for $3000.00 will look like next week. Act now so this does not happen to you.
Example:
$3000.00 Original Bill
$225.00 $45 per month times 5 months
$999.99 Attorney & Collection fees 33% of bill
$4224.99 NEW TOTAL
Sincerely,
Don Cusick
