In reference to my previous post about my experience with Yosef Adde from Luxewholesalediamonds.com.
Here is where it began,

As you may have read, I was looking to copy a nice engagement ring design for my future bride. Mr. Adde responded to my post/emails with a fair quote and seemed nice and knowledgeable at the time. We agreed on terms and contracted to build the ring in question. I paid extra to put a rush delivery on the ring so it would arrive in time for my wedding on March 1 2013. We had about 3 weeks to get this all done and ready to go. I was fairly excited.
I supplied a Visa card for payment in which it was a business card with a PO Box billing address. Mr Adde asked that I supply another card with the same billing address to which we could ship the ring to upon completion. I had no problem with that as I understood the process. I provided a 2nd Visa card for the total of $3500+/-
I received the ring on the expected time frame we agreed on which Mr Adde promised would be the same design as the picture I sent to him, it was not, clearly. Now we have a problem....
The solitaire setting area was incorrectly copied causing the diamond (2.5 karat) to sit about twice as high as it was supposed to. It looked ridiculous... In addition to this the 18k white gold ring had lots of unpolished areas on it that looked black or dark in color. The diamonds on the sides were quoted to be SI1 clarity, G-H and they looked like yellow hazey costume jewelry. Then I looked closer and the small diamonds on the sides showed a few of them to be sitting crooked. Yet, this was acceptable and shipped to me by Mr Adde.
I expressed my concerns to Mr Adde and he told me I could send it back and pay a restocking fee, I nearly fell out of my chair! I argued and pleaded with him for 2 days explaining how he made a some large mistakes in the design and we aren't even addressing the diamond quality issues yet. We were 4 days from my wedding and I had no time to let him try and correct the issue. Even if I did have the time I would never deal with him again after his display of complete incompetence.
Finally, he decided to take the ring back for a 100% refund, no restocking fee. I sent the ring back and waited for my refund. Well, I waited and waited and waited some more, no refund! After all of this crap enough of his excuses as to why I didn't have my refund I just called Visa and disputed the charges. This guy is a typical shyster.
HERE IS THE BEST PART: Today I found out that Mr Adde had processed a charge on my first credit card that I provided him (the one with the PO Box address that we didnt use) for $5375. What was this for? I certainly didn't buy anything else from this bum. It was clear to me that this was most likely intentional fraud.

I called his cell number and he did not answer of course. I called him from another number that he didnt know and he picked right up, Shocker!! He told me he could not help me and to call Visa....Nice response pal....
There you have it. I have almost $9000 on dispute with this reject. He clearly is no morality and jumps from company to company scamming people.
I hope this saves someone some headaches in the future.
Buyer Beware:

If I had seen it in time, I would have warned you to stay away from him. I hope Visa fixes this for you. What a horrible, horrible person this guy is. So sorry!
