Bailey's Fine Jewelry was very kind and accommodating with my initial return after my husband…read morepurchased gold and diamond earrings for Christmas. I decided that for the investment, I would prefer an updated wedding band instead and was looking at a two-tone style. The sales process started smoothly, and sizing seemed straightforward at first. However, the communication around ordering and sizing became confusing. I was initially told the ring would take 5-7 days to come in, then 12 weeks, then suddenly it arrived. When the ring came in, it was still too large. After returning to have it adjusted, I was told the wrong size had been ordered (a 5.5 instead of a 5), and that it would need to be reordered again -- potentially another 12 weeks -- with no clear confirmation whether it could even be sized properly once it arrived. Ultimately, I requested a refund, which I did receive, though there was some hesitation due to timing even though the delays were outside of my control. The staff was polite throughout, and I genuinely liked the ring, but the inconsistent communication and sizing issues made the experience more frustrating than it should have been for such an important purchase.

My name is Nelson Scott. I am a small business owner. On May 17, 2021, I hired Vraiment Financial,…read moreLLC. After having a friendly phone consultation with the owner, Dalaine Waller aka, Laine Bradley, I paid her, her husband Vincent Dale Bradley Jr., and their assistant, who goes by the name Darlesha P., $4,500 for a 6 months contract of service (Please find contract attached). In the contract, I was promised the following items per month: - 5 grants per month (totaling 30 grants). - A copy of the grant research proposals. - Prepared and submitted grant applications, letters of intent, and/or proposals for grants that were researched on behalf of the business. - A copy of the letters of intent and proposals. - Vraiment Financial, LLC will consult with the point of contact once a month. - Monthly coaching calls. - Monthly reports sent.   I never received any of the above mentioned. After months of inactivity and broken promises on their part, In August, I requested a conversation with the owner. She refused. It was then agreed that the contract would be terminated, my money would be returned, and for the inconvenience Vraiment caused, 10 grants would be applied to on the behalf of my company. Attached, please find the email sent by Vraiment promising to apply for 10 grants on the behalf of my company and process my full refund by 08-23-21. Since August 18th, 2021, I've been trying to get my money back from The Bradleys and Vraiment. They've ignored every email and DM, their phone number is disconnected, and they've blocked me on all of their social media accounts. As of 10-04-21, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY REFUND!. Vraiment told me they sent the refund, but would not tell me when or by what method. I was forced to file a claim with my bank due to the refund never being credited to my account. Vraiment was referred to me by someone I trusted. I checked references, I googled, and before I made the decision to work with them, I prayed. I thought I did everything right. Now, I feel stupid. They're a black woman owned business that I desperately wanted to support and instead of telling you how happy I am with their service, I'm left having to file complaints against them. I have filed complaints with the SBA Inspector General, North Carolina Consumer Complaints, The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, The Better Business Bureau, The Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division, and The Federal Trade Commission's Fraud Division. I've also filed a complaint against Vincent Dale Bradley Jr. with The Office of the Naval Inspector General and have consulted with the Cyber Crimes Division of the District Attorney's Office. As far as I'm concerned, Dalaine Waller aka Laine Bradley, Vincent Dale Bradley Jr., their assistant Darlesha P., and business partners, Tranika Warner, and Cyntoni Miller, are all frauds. I trusted them and they have taken advantage of my kindness and trust. Also, please take note of the 12 companies they've opened within the last two years: Black ON the Business, LLC PoBox 45433 Phoenix, AZ 85064 Bradley Tax & Associates Inc. 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Bradley Venues Inc. 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Bradley Warner Academy Inc., 3105 Corners Mill Drive Peachtree Corners, GA 30095 Elnora Adrienne Transportation Inc 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Emerald Peak Cleaning Inc. 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Emerald Peak Investment Group 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Margaritas And Manis Beauty Bar LLC 4302 Springs Creek Lane Apt 4302 Sandy Springs, GA 30350 Munchkin Munchies Vending Machines Inc. 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 The Laine B. Brand Inc. 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 Vraiment Financial LLC 4302 Springs Creek Lane Apt 4302 Sandy Springs, GA 30350 Vraiment Financial LLC 421 Fayetteville Street, Ste. 1100 Raleigh, NC 27601 I entered into this situation with very high hopes for success. I paid $4500 upfront and believed that my company would be treated with dignity and respect. Instead, I got cheated and ignored. This entire situation could have easily been settled with a simple conversation between myself and Dalaine, but because I don't have a large social media following and they already had my money, neither my company nor my grievances with Vraiment were ever taken seriously. My advice, don't work with Vraiment Financial. And never pay full price upfront.
