CELM & EVOLUTION IMPORTS being sued in FL.

Celm, the "Importer" from "Evolution Imports LLC" is being sued in Florida, where "Evolution Imports LLC" is based. I recieved this email shortly asking me to post it.
Scroll down for that.
There was also a link to another "arguement" on AF about him http://www.automotiveforums.co....html (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t470775.html) which if you were thinking of using them, you'll find all kind of useful information to disuade you. The most interesting of such is this:

I came across some new information anyone interested in purchasing from Evolution Imports should be aware of. Thanks to Senor Info from EvolutionM for the assistance and documents.
Evolution Imports was originally Evolution Motors Limited, Inc.
Same PO Box based business from Orlando, FL, and Adam Burdette, with the following associated addresses:
1255 Belle Ave Suite 176, Winter Springs FL, 32780 407-688-1324
1521 Sunnyside Drive, Maitland, Fl 32751
Now the best part, Evolution Motors Limited became Evolution Imports, LLC on 20th June, 2002. Evolution Imports is a FOREIGN BASED business! Registered and based from the Island of Nevis in the Caribbean: Evolution Imports - Nevis
Now there's not only the issue of claiming against an LLC if the deal goes bad.
With this scheme if you want to sue the LLC, it must be done in Nevis under Nevis law which means you need a lawyer that's a Nevis citizen, the suit must be filed within 12 months of the "event," and you need to deposit a $25,000 bond with the court.
The same day Evolution Imports applied for a Foreign Limited Liability Company business license in the State of Florida which I had linked to in a previous post: Evolution Imports - Florida Foreign License
http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/...7=&r8 (http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet...5=&r6=&r7=&r8)=
What I didn't notice, is... 1 it's a foreign company license. 2 it was revoked on Sep 26, 2003 for failing to file the required annual report.
Now, here are all the names associated with Evolution Imports:
Adam Burdette
JoAnne Simmons
Frank Mendola
And the addresses:
309 Rachelle Ave, Suite 634, Sanford, FL 32771
(Actually Apartment 634, not a business suite)
322 East Central Blvd, Unit 1713, Orlando, FL 32808
And now 403 flomich street, suite 100, Holly Hills, Fl
So that makes six different addresses, unsatisfactory BBB rating and a revoked Florida FOREIGN business license for a "credible importer."

And their BBB record @ http://www.orlando.bbb.org/new...02719 (http://www.orlando.bbb.org/newsearch2.asp?ComID=07330012002719) states:

Number of complaints processed by the BBB over the last 36 months: 7
Number of complaints processed by the BBB in the last 12 months: 4
Complaints Concerned:
Service Issues (1 complaints)
1 Company did not respond

Delivery Issues (5 complaints)
5 Company did not respond

Contract Disputes (1 complaints)
1 Resolved


(If you want the email forwarded to you, it's alot easier to read. It's graphed and all that, just reply, I'll forward it.)
EMAIL:

I know for a fact that this company is legit, my good friend recently purchased a R34 GT-T Skyline from them, and he has nothing but good things to say about Frank and Evolution Imports.

Hello stupid fucks of this forum. I just wanted to let you know that I bought the GTT from him. It was in PERFECT order. I have zero complaints about it and he still check up on me and the car to this day. Now if some stupid bitch wants to cry about some little mishap then go ahead but the fact that he was able to import jap cars legally is beyond anyones level of comprehension, he goes through a lot of trouble to sell these cars and doesnt need little assholes fucking it up for him. If anyone can attest to his ability to sell well kept cars and be legit about it I am that person. So if this gets deleted cause some bitch called joey NOES decides that since I know better then about 95% of people on this forum ESP him then that just sucks for the people wanting to buy a quality product from this company.
Thank you all for pointing out something that is meaningless, we are all more stupid because of this.

I don't need to delete anything. Facts are Facts and 99% of the companies out there have been scams. If you actaully knew how much bullshit was out there you wouldn't be talking/spending like that but then again it isn't your money you spend. Funny how you talk as though you've met me and yet you never have. Shoot facts no biased judgements. I can't wait to wipe that cocky little attitude of yours away, but then again mommy and daddy might just buy you something faster I'm really looking foward seeing how fast your base model nissan reallly is... ;)

Btw ~ What my past friends say about me you have absolutley no say in don't call me as if you think you know me or something that would be a disgrace to my name as well as all those around me. (You know Jack about who I'am or we did in the past so don't talk as if you do your just another kid with money). I don't know you and could honestly careless about some kid who has nothing to do but widdle away at his parents bank account.

Don't get other people to fight your battle's because it really does show even more weak character ~

Joe it's Nick. I have nothing to say other than take my name off your little rant. Then excuse and remove yourself from downing jay and his car. Because although reference was made to you deleting his posts. no reference was made about your car or life style.. If you want to play that game I will quickly and efficiently go to every forum you are registered to and reveal all of your information and your status about everything. Ie. that skyline rb26 in your avatar, or the status on your import company, or even the status on your RX7. So lets quit the childesh things. use your little moderator powers and delete that bad fact about you in jays post. and let this work out between him and the people who have a problem with Frank. Thank you Joe. I would appreciate and suggest that you do everything quickly. Becuase played in no part in anything, and My name was brought up.

Adam Patrick Burdette was found guilty and is now on probation. As for Frank Mendola, I couldn't get anything from him in civil court because he only works for Adam Burdette/Evolution Imports (According to the Law) so that is why he is no longer being sued as of today; March 8th 2008.
I'm still going after Mr. Burdette in civil court even though the criminal courts have already found him guilty. DONT TRUST THESE GUYS, this stuff started back in DEC 05 and has taken me this long to even get where I have and that's because I had did a lot of things on my own.
