It Ends Here

Hello Again,

I want to thank everyone for their outstanding support.  This support has come in the form of “clicks”(I hate that term), comments on Facebook, personal messages, and phone calls.  Again, the support has been great, and everyone I speak with wants to see this madness end.  For the record, that is the goal of this blog, and it will happen.

That being said, I am encouraging everyone that has been touched by Jeff Fank and Michele Kesner to come forward and reach out to me.  I sympathize with the fact that it is very difficult to admit that you were “taken” and it can be gut wrenching to relive the experience.  Trust me, I understand this, and am still dealing with it frequently.  The fact of the matter is that Jeff and Michele have been able to get away with this for years because of silence.  These individuals have done irreparable harm to businesses, “clients”, subcontractors, and even some of their own family members (see The Manifesto).  The only way to stop this is to unite, communicate, and let everyone know that we will not stand for this anymore!

I have added a contact box on the right side of the blog page.  Please reach out!  I can attempt to do this alone, but I will have a lot more success uniting with each and every one of you!

Talk Soon.

The “Silver Lining” of Jeff Adam (or Adams?)

Readers,

I hope everyone is enjoying this spring weather!  Finally!  My wife was going through 1 of our 3 junk drawers (yes, we have three) and found this gem:

A couple of interesting points here:

1)  The card says Jeffrey Adam and the email is j.adams@naturessilverlining.com.  This is proof of the two additional aliases that I (and others) have documented in the past.
2)  There is no mention of Michele who owns the company or Marshal (the scientist) on his card or the website.
3)  This address is to a Mail+ business that is currently closed: https://www.yelp.com/biz/mail-winfield

Just thought this was interesting and worth sharing with our readers and friends,  Have a great Sunday and enjoy the great weather!

Drywall & Merry Christmas

Readers,

Thank you so much for the continued support!  As of 5:34pm CST, we are at 23,586 views!  Again, I appreciate all of the support and interest in stopping Jeff Fank and Michele Kesner.

I am writing this evening to share another part of our Jeff Fank story.  It starts with our Christmas trip home to Michigan and the drywall work being done in the basement.  On December 23rd, while in Michigan, we were made aware of a possible situation with the drywall contractor that was working in our basement.  The story quickly spiraled out of control.

According to Jeff, he had worked with this gentleman before, but his personality had changed a bit and he was 40 pounds lighter (Jeff alluded to the fact he may be addicted to drugs).  The relationship between this gentleman and Jeff went shout when Jeff denied full payment for the work, as it wasn't done.  According to Jeff, he had paid half, but wasn't going to pay the remainder until the work was completed (makes since, right?).  Evidently the man turned violent, and the man screamed obscenities outside of our house ("Merry F*ucking Christmas" was the line).  Jeff had to contact the "Geneva Police", take the batteries out of the garage door opener, and clean up the mess in the basement.

I connected with the gentleman recently, and can tell you that he is a wonderful man.  His weight hasn't changed and he was paid $0 by Jeff.  There was no yelling or swearing in our front yard, and the "Geneva Police" weren't contacted (Jeff would have had to call the Kane County Sheriff).

Just another example of how subcontractors are taken advantage of by Jeff.  He dragged this gentleman's reputation through the mud and didn't even pay him.  This all needs to stop.... Now!!!

Talk Soon.

The Aftermath

    

Readers,

I hope everyone is enjoying the “Spring” weather we are experiencing right now.  Both the Cubs and Tigers Opening Day games were postponed this year.  That has to be one for the record books!

I wanted to share with you some of the images of what our basement looked like when Jeff and Michele walked off of the job.  The cleanup was intense, and cost us an additional $1,000 plus dozens of man hours of labor.  The cleanup issue was compounded by the fact that proper precautions were not taken during the drywall process (i.e. drywall dust).   

You will notice some buckets that are filled with liquid in one of the images.  The liquid was a combination of some type of compound and urine.  There were also a few coffee containers that were filled with urine. 

Again, I share this information to fully disclose what happened to us.  It also displays the upstanding character and class of Jeff Adam Fank.

Jeff Fank - "More saving. More doing."

Good Evening Readers,

We did it!  We crossed the 10,000 view mark, and as of 9:05 pm CST, we are at 10,195 views.  Thank you for the continued support.  It is very humbling, and I will continue to work hard to spread the word. 

I wanted to reach out this evening to all of my contractor/sub-contractor/industry readers.  Multiple individuals have confirmed one of Jeff Fank’s marquee behaviors.  Jeff wanders around Home Depot waiting to strike up a conversation with any contractor that will listen.  He then will attempt to convince the contractor to work for him, and attempt to get contact information to follow up.  He mentions how busy he is, how great of a reputation he has, and how great he will pay.  For the record, he also targets contractors of Mexican decent.  Jeff and Michele believe they are less likely to pursue legal matters against them (I don’t know why, they probably know from experience).  Regardless, please don’t fall for any of this garbage and don’t give him your phone number. 

One of the contractors that worked on my house fell for this ploy.  He told Jeff "no thanks" at the store and during multiple follow up's via phone.  He finally gave in, and now he is out tens of thousands of dollars.   For the record (ironically), he is of Mexican decent. 

Please, please, please share this information with any contractor/sub-contractor that you may know. 

Have a wonderful evening!

Jeff Fank and Michele Kesner - Pictures

Hello Readers,

Again, thank you for your continued support.  As of this evening (9:46 p.m. CST) we have 9,257 views!  That is excellent!  Again, the only way to stop Jeff and Michele is by spreading the word, so please keep sharing the blog with family, friends, neighbors, and individuals that work in the construction industry.

I did want to share some pictures of Jeff and Michele.  The intent here isn’t to slander or humiliate (even though this is well deserved), but to make them distinguishable when they are attempting to execute their next ploy.

Again, thank you for the continued support!
