| orderd 8 electronic headsets for $160 with shipping, our card was immedialty charged, when we called to get a tracking number, we were given a 3rd degree how we had to wait for our money from our bank had to get to their bank, and they were not going to ship till they got paid first. I responded with how rude they were and they never wrote back, I then called teh next day and asked for t asked for a tracking number and she did not have one, so i told them to cancel the order and refund my card now, she then asked why are was being so rude, i said cause i think you charged my card and was waiting to get the money cause you cannot afford to send the stuff, and this was nothing more thna a dropship, she scolded me some more and hung up, I called back and she asked me what did I want and I said a tracking number she told me it shipped yesterday so indeed if it did give me a tracking number, she never did and i told her to refund it, well yesterday she told me a tracking number would be issued the next day so if it really shipped she shuld have had this number already you would think, another red flag, then the status on the page still said awaiting shipment, well then after she hung up she changed it you could tell to ship, she refused to answer phone calls by the way, and the voice mail was "Magic Jack" Service , really magic jack for a place that says they have warehouses in California and they are in Indiana? yeh right..Saving money with magic jack..anyway still today 2 days later no response via many emails and phoen calls and no tracking number still have my money, oh i forgot to add she did write in her last email that they no longer give out tracking numbers to protect themselves and their customers, funny cause on the policy of the web site it states they post them to your account so you can track, so which is it, save your self some grief and do not buy from this place.. |

This complaint was filed by one of the biggest scammers to hit the Internet in the last 10 years, Michael A. Walker owner of VDO Specialties plus a ton of other scam businesses he's operated over the years. You talk about the pot calling the kettle black. This character is a total nut job. Let me shed some facts about this complaint and I'll close with links supporting my claim about his reputation.
On August 23, 2011 at 11:49am, Michael A Walker placed an order on our website www.toolleader.com for 8 electronic headphones. Understand this was just two days ago. The evening of 08/23/2011 Michael started his barrage of phone calls demanding the tracking number after business hours.
On August 24, 2011 we arrived to work and had 3 voice mails and 2 emails from him demanding the tracking number. Immediately red flags went up. We've been in business 21 years and EVERY TIME we run into a customer that is demanding tracking numbers hours after placing an order it's a scam. So once we listened to Michael's threatening voice mails and emails I did a background check on this character. OMG what I found. This guy has ripped off thousands of people and has filed bankruptcy twice. He's been subject to many criminal investigations for fraudulent business practices by the State of Wisconsin.
I told our Customer Support rep to NOT GIVE THIS CHARACTER a tracking number at all. I know exactly what his intentions are. He planned on rerouting this package and later filing a dispute saying it wasn't delivered to his billing address. We've seen his kind many times over the years. We insist all orders ship to customer's credit card billing address but scammers will immediately start demanding a tracking number so they can reroute the package to an alternate address to defend their future chargeback claiming item was never delivered to them at their billing address.
We explained to Michael his order shipped the same day he placed his order but we were not giving him the tracking number to protect our business and the credit card holder. We couldn't talk to him after that. He started screaming and carrying on like a 3 year old. We blocked his numbers and emails. This nut job is nothing but a scammer and we're not wasting time with him listening to his rants and screaming on the telephone. He is impossible to talk rational to. He behaves like a 3 year old when you tell him no.
Our website clearly shows what items ship from our warehouse in Indiana and what items ship from our supplier's warehouse in CA. We don't stock slow moving items in our Indiana warehouse. So Michael knew when he placed his order on 08/23/2011 that his order was shipping from CA. He knew this would take 4-5 business days to arrive at his location in Wisconsin. He filed this complaint the DAY AFTER he placed his order because he's upset we are protecting ourselves by not providing a tracking number. We told him his order will be delivered Monday or Tuesday and if he has any problems he can call us and we'll track the package and keep him informed. Not good enough for this scammer. He knows his scam won't work once the package is delivered to his billing address.
To future customers that aren't scammers understand 95% of our customers receive a tracking number the day after their orders ship. We have to manually enter these into our website so we do this the next day after an order ships. If Michael had kept his mouth shut and not tipped us off to his scamming reputation he would have been successful in scamming us by rerouting the package. But instead his persistence tipped us off to do a background check and now there is no way we're giving him a tracking number. His order will be delivered Monday or Tuesday as indicated when he placed his order.
So who is Michael Andrew Walker? There are thousands of people looking for this guy. Here are links backing up my claim to his scamming reputation.

As far as his other claims they hold no merit. Do we use a Magic Jack for some of our website callers? Yes we do. We answer this line during business hours. Using a Magic Jack device allows one of our employees on maternity leave to work from home. We have 6 lines through our local phone company that we don't advertise on our websites but they're answered during business hours. As long as all the calls are answered and customers taken care of I'm not sure what the point is of what phone lines are being used. We really have better things to do than answer calls from Salesmen all day trying to sell us something because they found our store numbers on the web. That is the main reason our store telephone numbers aren't on every website we own. Call us anytime during business hours and see we answer the telephones and are eager to help. We own a real store, a real warehouse and many online websites.
We have nothing to hide and do business professionally and ethically. This Michael A Walker character can't say the same. Seriously he's running around and filing disputes 1-2 days after he placed his order just because we won't allow him to scam us. These boards should be reserved for real customers really being ripped off. Not some jack-wagon angry because we won't give him a tracking number the day after he placed his order because of his terrible scamming reputation listed all over the web. Don't be a scammer and find out how fast you get your tracking number and how nice we are on the telephone. Unfortunately we're not this way with scammers, as Micheal A Walker has found out.
Kind regards,

I don't think so...
This Jody Slabaugh of DCW Sales, Discount Computer Warehouse aka Toolleader.com, easystoresites.com, DiscountToolImporters.com, AirToolSale.com, laporteshopping.com is a FREAK, he actually had the guts to buy a .net domain of my not for profit organization and post all kinds of lies about that and also posted personal family videos of my dog and my freinds wedding, now do you want to do business with a guy like this and his crazy wife? so if you happen to get ripped off by them and write a BBB Complaint is this what they will do to you also??
Trying to prove somehow that you are the bad guy and not him..he did no business with my compnay of any kind, but we did with him trying to order electronic Headsets. Problem was he did not have the money to drop ship it seemed, his wife said so over the phone they wait for the money to come their checking account, I asked for tracking number to prove at l;east it shipped and they refused..that is when I asked them to cancel my order then and refund my money they already charged.
The refused it took over a week to get it back back, I wrote complaint about my experience, they have done this before with people read his BBB reports..
Anyway since then he has been libeling my company since..which will be dealt with as I am hiring an attorney at$200 per hour to sit in court and will do so to teach this jerk a lesson.
But do you want to do business with a guy like this?? |

Tool Leader owner is RIGHT! Michael A Walker, Aka VDO Specialties, aka any other made up name you can think of, that he operates under, aka Mikey A. Walker. Mike Andrew Walker, is a SCAMMER, a FRAUD, and CON MAN. Back in 1999 his threat to anyone he tried to scam was: Im going to have your isp shut down! He never did. This man, MICHAEL ANDREW WALKER, is a PATHETIC CLOWN, he has claimed to be a pilot, (NOT), a doctor, (NOT!) and a scuba instructor, (NOT!), along with many other made up careers. This man is the worst a human being can be. He is the kind of person that makes us hate the human race. I doubt you can call this maggot human though. I spoke to his ex wife many years ago, and boy did she have a story to tell about Mikey Walker! Go look at ripoffreport dot com for more info, or hell, just type his name in on google and see for yourself! He will end up in prison, bent over, if he hasnt already been there. Thats where he belongs. He is the worst of humanity, PERIOD. He is also a COWARD, he wont own up to what he has done, but soon he will be FORCED to. The Feds are on to this clown, I made sure of that!
IF THIS MAN, (boy) MICHAEL ANDREW WALKER, scams you, CALL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF YOUR STATE. You cannot threaten him, its a waste, you just GO STRAIGHT AFTER HIM LEGALLY! There is enough info out there, easily found, to fry him, and get your money back. DONT be a victim of this clown loser. He is a paper tiger anyway, all bark, nothing behind it. |
