Audio Wizard? Beware...
This is a consumer alert
for anyone considering using Audio Wizard,
located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
8120 E. McDowell Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85257, 480-946-7164, fax 480-947-1443, www.wwizard.com
Audio Wizard claims on its website to specialize in "Professional Audio, Video, Computer Diagnostics and Repairs". However, I've used them and they are nothing but incompetent and extremely rude.
I paid them several hundred dollars to repair my audio equipment recently - My equipment is still broken.
One man appears to do the work in back and another man works the front counter and answers the phone.
During my 6th and final visit there, the man who works the counter actually called me an "asshole" and told me to "get out of here" when I questioned why it had been over 2 months and my equipment had not yet been repaired.
This company borders on fraudulent and should be put out of business. If you don't believe me, then take a look at why the Better Business Bureau gives Audio Wizard an 'F' rating (BBB link here).
Take my advice: Stay Away.

Who is Ray Gallegos?
Ray Gallegos
of Phoenix is an independent landscaper/handyman. He sometimes uses the
company name "Rid-A-Junk" and has used the following contact
info: 602-487-0919, ridajunk@yahoo.com, rayg64@gmail.com.
He sometimes partners with a gentleman named Leonard (but I personally have no complaint with Leonard).
In addition to debris removal, Ray offers plumbing and handyman services.
Problem: I had Ray do some debris removal from my home recently. The work he did was satisfactory. I then scheduled Ray to come back for additional work and made the mistake of pre-paying him ($250), falsely thinking I could trust him. Ray never returned to perform the work and he never returned the money spite of repeated phone calls and messages.
Ray Gallegos is not a man of his word and should not be trusted. Call him at your own risk.

Who is Steve Hecht?
Steve or Steven Hecht
of Phoenix is a pestering salesman and has used the following numbers:
623-243-7979, 623-243-7980, 602-330-6336, 602-249-6737
Steve left several annoying message on my office voicemail and my cellphone (I have no idea how he got either number, but he claims he was referred to me by someone I knew - Total BS.) He would leave no details in his messages about why he was calling me. The messages seemed designed to make me believe I knew him, but I didn't - So I ignored him. But he kept calling me, and I eventually accidentally answered my cell phone. He claimed to be an executive recruiter looking for skilled professionals and was hoping I could refer people to him. I told him I was unable to help, but wished him luck.
A little internet searching shows he is/was affiliated with Primerica Financial Services, a financial solutions/services company based in Phoenix. According to a website description, "Primerica is in the business of changing lives. They fulfill their mission — to help families become debt free and financially independent..."
Here's an .mp3 of one of Steve's voicemails. I didn't know that people actually talked like this:

Message to all Steve Hechts of the world: Do not call people pretending to know them. Be straight up and honest about who you are and make your intentions known. That's how you earn respect and business.
