I was getting real sunglasses in the original packaging and we went back and forth over 20 emails before I ordered. I ended up getting fake sunglasses in plain packaging 30 days after I placed my initial order. I stayed on top of these people who took my hard earned money.

I was shocked and highly insulted when Avion Systems said their client, AT&T, required that I give up my Social Security number over the phone to Avion Systems to submit together with my resume and a list of answers to their questions (i.e. Rate, Visa Status, Current Location, Availability date, phone number). I guess Avion knew it would be offensive and probably illegal to require a S.S. number before any interviews, so they didn't include it in their original list of questions to answer. This is the first time in decades that I ever... read full review »

Bill has a history of rolling over on folks I cant wait to see how long it takes for him to roll over on you, since he already implicated you during the small claims suit that I already won against him.
