In the uk you are asked for a number, you may ignore it but most people just fire a number in there
You are very naive.
and you are very assumptive

File a claim in small claims, get judgement, then go to the sheriff to collect.


Thanks, the judgement has already happened thanks

If you get full judgement, by the time you've paid a lawyer to go in your place (unnecessary, technically, for small claims, but you're not in the US)

No problem, i have that done already, and the sheriff to seize assets, and an auctioneer to sell them, you'll be lucky if you see $1,000.
He has substantial liquidity, i happen to know as he was blackmailing a business partner of his whom i assisted in kicking him from their business by giving him background information on this guys history

Write it off as a lesson learned.
I would prefer to hound the prick if its all the same with you and ultimately i want to have him prevented from running a business which i will read up on another time, but one step at a time



As ever people on forums assume they know more than the new poster, i simply asked if there were ways people in the USA might find a phone number i did not know about.

Well you were given them. They're also not going to do anything for you and you already had the address, so it was a bit of a pointless exercise.

Also, if he's such a crook as you imply, he'll not give a toss and move on to his next mark.

Good luck though.

The fact that a businessman has "substantial liquidity" is wholly irrelevant if your contract is with the LLC. LLC means "Limited Liability Company", which means you don't have recourse to the owner's assets. That you don't seem aware of this supports my assertion that you are naive, and, as a point of fact, proves I do know more than you.

Please let us know how you get on. I, for one, would be very interested to hear whether you succeed or not.

Call me naïve, but since when does New York State have a DOS (Department of State?)

In New York State if you have an issue with a business that is fraudulent you contact the Attorney General's office in Albany.

Ask Cesar Perales. He's the current Secretary of State for NY, and the department was formed in 1778.

Department of State is different from Secretary of State.

Right, the first is a department, and the second is a person.

In the case of New York the person Cesar Perales, is the "Secretary of State" who heads the department the "Department of State".

I didn't equate the Secretary of State (which I knew of, of course) with a department of state nor would my first thought be to contact the SOS for reporting a business concern. When there are fraudulent business practices in New York State one contacts the Attorney General's office. That is the office that we have always been told has the power to bring charges against said criminal businesses.

Agreed, I would not take a complaint about potentially criminal impropriety of a corporation to the Secretary of State, though I would certainly bring questions about the accuracy and/or completeness of the corporate registration records to the attention of the Department of State staff.

Yeah my LTD doesn't have a phone number registered, however if he has a website they DO require a phone number, so might be worth looking up the DNS record, and seeing whats there. Whois search - Who is the owner of that domain name ? | Netim << will give you detailed WhoIs
