Ever lost a customer this way?

[MWHC]

Just wondering if anyone has lost customers in this way?

I have had this customer for about 10 years now, prompt payer / full service account. This March she pleaded guilty to stealing from charaties to the tune of 1 million $$$. She now is selling all of her assets and is probably headed to jail.

Just thought this was an odd way to loose an account. Usually I loose accounts because they move or die on me.

The last one I lost went to the old folks home and sold her house. Not nearly as exciting as yours.

Wow!!! The only thing that happened to me is a girl I know, who used to work at a bank, told me if I ever needed a loan to expand my business she knows people who can help me. At the time my credit wasn't so good so I passed. A couple of years latter she made front page of the local newspaper for stealing money from the bank. Some how she was stealing it through business owners deposits. If I remember correctly she stole a total of $150k. This was over a period of time. Why it took the bank so long to realize money was missing I'll never know. If I am missing $2.00 I know. The newspaper put the worst picture of her in the paper. It looked like she hadn’t slept in two weeks. I guess its a good thing I didn't take her up on the offer.:angel:

If your solo or a small operator you should have someone lined up to take her spot. That is quite an amusing way to lose a customer though.

Chicks stopping service because they got caught for embezling millions? Sure! Happens all the time here. I get 2 or 3 a month.

Good thing I don't work near you. Might have to wait a few years to get paid.:rolleyes:

I lost one due to a Murder charge, ended as a manslaughter conviction. The customer was always great!

Without all the money embezzled, they wouldnt have been able to pay, do you feel guilty by association?

cant say that i have lost one like that.

The rest of your post was not acceptable due to your wording. This is not the men's locker room

Shame on you. You've been accepting stolen charity money as payment for your services. I hope you don't get busted as an accomplice.:D

[ADLAWNCUTTERS]

gee you should have charge her more money.:)

Had a lady around here get arrested for stealing over $780,000.00 from her employer! Took them over 2 years to catch it.

If I had that much to steal you better believe I'd want to keep better track of it than that.
