Geek Brothers SCAM

Unfortunately, I have fallen victim to a complete scam. I hired Geek Brothers to retrieve all my files from my laptop and then wipe it clean due to a virus. They said that it would be no problem. Upon returning my laptop with an external harddrive that I was purchasing from them, Matt LeBoeuff went to show me my files on the external harddrive and they were someone else's files, not mine. He stumbled around his words as he acted embarrased and in trying to explain why he need an additional $100 after I had already paid $235. I unfortunately went ahead and gave him a check as we agreed that he would bring me my files the next day. It has now been two weeks and I have called and left 3 messages a day trying to get him to return my calls, but no word from him. He does however answer the phone when I call from a number other than mine, which just goes to show that Geek Brothers are a scam looking for more people to take advantage of. And the couple of times that i have gotten them on the phone we have set up times for them to bring me my files and of course they are no shows!

Don't trust their (Matt and Chris LeBoeuf) geeky, nice guy demeanors! Unfortunately I did and gotten taken. So i basically paid them $335 to take my files...when i could have had my files taken for free by the virus I had in the first place.

Also, does anyone know if you will be getting your money back? When he tried to rip off, he actually ended up screwing some poor woman out of $300.00+. I'm digging through my emails now to search for her address so I can tell her the good news.

This is Matt's real brother here, Chris. Wow, I searched my name randomly and found this stuff. First off, let me say: I have NEVER been associated with this company whatsoever. He used my name ILLEGALLY and has been calling customers pretending to be me. If this has ever happened to you call his probation officer. I, his own brother, am also after him for the offenses hes caused me and my credibility/reputation. Any of you who doubt this being true, ask yourself one question. Have you ever seen me or done business with anyone other than Matt face to face? Didn't think so. He's used my name, and I am a victim of identity theft.

Used them last week. Matt was very frank with me about the issues. Nice guy. Sounds like he's working hard to get back on track. I will also vouch. Nice guy, just seems to have got behind with things that happened in personal life. I will use again.

I too have been scammed by Matt LeBoeuff and Geek Brothers. A tenant that leased my house in Arlington from me, sub-leased it to Matt LeBoeuff without my consent after finding him on Craig's List. After receiving a phone call from Matt telling me that he was living at my house and wanted to lease it from me directly, I drew up a lease and he signed it on January 13th. Two bad checks, a whole lot of lies, and two months later I finally got him evicted from my property in Arlington. I never received a dime from him, besides checks that wouldn't cash (One of which has been turned into Tarrant County Hot Checks Department.) To add insult to injury he vandalized my property on the way out and stole my washer and dryer and several other things from the property. The house is also trashed. I filed a police report for the theft in Arlington, but so far I haven't gotten anywhere. I also have a judgement against him in Tarrant County for rent. Don't believe a single word this guy or his brother or "Partners" or pretend lawyer says, he is a crook and a low-life and I'm sure at some point he'll end up back where he belongs, prison.

I've done business with Geek Brothers for over a year. They are great guys. It seems like they got a little behind due to some family troubles. I wouldn't call this a scam, I'd call it small business getting overwhelmed. I wouldn't worry too much, you all will get refunds and your computers back. What good will calling the police do? Do you think you'll get your PC back quicker if they throw Matt in Jail? Give the guys a break.

I have the same issue with Matt. He has my money, wont return my calls, and I still don't have the computer. The Hurst police are currently investigating this guy, so is the Fort Worth police. I'll be going to the Arlington police tonight. I also spoke to Matt's parole officer today (David Hernandez [protected] ext 215) I've been doing my research and apparently he pulled some hefty internet scamming. Go to http://forums.audiworld.com/ and search by various spellings of his last name and you will see that he scammed a lot of these people before he ended up getting arrested in Texas and going to jail for a while.

If you have problems with this guy call the cops and his probation officer, let the police know that he is being investigated by Hurst and Fort Worth (and Arlington as soon as I call them tonight) so that they can all work together.

Geek Brothers SCAM!

GEEK BROTHERS & MATT LEBOUEF - WARNING! COMPLETE SCAM!

Unfortunately, I was a victim of this very new company.

I was looking for a solid computer "Geek" to help me build a new computer for my business. I was looking to spend about $1000 on a computer.

I found Matt Lebouef off Craigslist with Geek Brothers LLC, a company formed in May of 09 here in Texas.

At our initial meeting Matt Lebouef with Geek Brothers was 30 minutes late (what I would later find to be very common with Matt). As we sat at Starbucks, I noticed Matt looked very worn. His appearance was sloppy (t-shirt with pit stains) and his attitude was mostly negative. I, however, gave him the benefit of the doubt (maybe he was having a hard day...we've all been there right) and proceeded to make a verbal agreement on the computer I wanted for $1000. We shook hands, but I made sure to take written notes. I worte him a "good faith" check of $750 upfront.

We agreed on this system:

AMD Quad Core Processor
8gig ram
1 terabyte hard drive
2 512 graphics cards
! terabyte external hard drive
Windows Vista Home

Now I know that's pretty technical for some of you (it was for me too but through this process I've been forced to learn... just to keep up on how Matt scammed me), but just stay with me here.

The next Sat, Matt Lebouef called and told me my computer was ready, he said he would meet me at my home at 7:00pm. 3 1/2 hours later Matt from Geek Brothers showed up at my door with a computer in hand.

He acted rushed and very uncomfortable. I sat with him as he installed the new computer. As I was sitting with him he received a very "important" call from his "grandfather" and had to leave. I asked him to stay, so he went on my portch to take the call privately. As he was on the call (for 30 min) I reviewd the specs of my new $1000 computer.

It was NOTHING like I had requested!

The specs are as follows:

AMD Tri Core (much less powerful)
4 Gigs of Ram (which he lied about and said it was running at 1600mhz so it was just the same as 8gig)
2 512 graphics cards (but 1 was completely dead)
No external hard drive
Windows Vista Home (free trial)

When Matt came back from his "call" I asked him about the computer. Now, understand, Im no computer geek (thats what I hired the Geek Brothers for), and when I asked Matt, he gave me a pretty good song and dance about how this was the best computer for the money. Almost as fast, he shoved a sloppy, handwritten, invoice, saying "sign here." I signed, almost just to get the kid out of my damn house!

Afterwords, I emailed Matt about my displeasure. The new computer would not work on all 3 of my monitors (they are interlinked). The fact that to run any windows I need to spend an ADDITIONAL $150 for the product license. The ram was significantly less...etc.

His response was condescending and rude, reminding me that their are NO REFUNDS...In one email he told me that I was "###-out-of-luck"!

There's more to tell, but Im tried of this entire situation. Geek Brothers LLC has been in business for less than 4 Months and they already have a ton of bad reports...here's another, obviously he's pissing off alot of people.

/URL removed/

Anyhow - I've tried to give Matty an easy way out, I told him just to take the computer back and it would all be over - but he refused. So...

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH GEEK BROTHERS OR HIS LOW LEVEL SCAMMER!

Website is gone too.

This is why I don't advertise on craigslist for computer services. The best computer guys are the ones who are referred, not searched for.

check audiworld.com forums and type in matts's name. back then, [protected], he scammed around 150 people to the tune of alot of money. Thats where the FBI nailed him for wire fraud, selling car parts and phones via internet. We need to find a way to notify all of his old customers who he owes money to. Also, he needs to be removed from Craig's list and the metro area yellow pages in the DFW area. I am a senior citizen and I am 100% disabled . I use a wheelchair and I am on oxygen 24/7. Matt Leboeuf robbed me and that shows he is truely a sociopath who cares about nothing but himself. I will be filing charges this week with the Dallas DA . Everyboby needs to do whatever they can to make Matt's life miserable.

Wow! Matt, this is fantastic! How far you've come in the last 12 months! I've never contracted for any computer services from Matt, but he did scam me out of 3 months rent last summer. I had recently moved from Fort Worth to Houston and put an ad on craigslist requesting a sub-letter for my apartment. Matt answered the ad, immediately offering to help me move some of my stuff out. As usual, Matt showed up 2 hours late and I gave him the key on the way out. Since I was desperate to sublet my apartment, I overlooked the fact that Matt failed my apartment's background check; unfortunately, I took Matt's word that he'd pay me timely rent plus deposit. In the subsequent 3 months, Matt wrote me hot check after hot check, each and every time costing me a $35 fee. Lo and behold, Matt's roommate (my other sub-letter, as it was a 2-bedroom), called me in Houston on Memorial Day to say Matt was moving out June 1. I had to drive from Houston to Fort Worth on a Sunday afternoon just to retrieve collateral from him. He repeatedly promised to pay his debt, assuring me that his collateral property (some cheap watch/2oo4 Red Sox World Champion collage/oil painting of Van Gogh's Starry Night) had such great sentimental value that he'd be devastated without it. What's funny is he stammered around about buying a new car, initially offering me his old one as collateral (instead of pre-mentioned property). I immediately accepted his offer and he backpedaled like an NFL cornerback. Needless to say, Matt later told me in his typical rudimentary, condescending manner, "Keep that stuff I gave you...as it isn't worth [censored] anyhow." Like I said, I've never contracted for any computer services from Matt, and I don't need to render opinions about his company, but I do hope this anecdote is a glimpse into the psyche of a habitual liar. I have absolutely no doubt that the "ex-cop" is one entity in a long list of bogus nomenclature. I did not realize until tonight that Matt has a parole officer; but I'll sleep much better knowing someone's attempting to keep him in line. Actually, it pleases me to no end in understanding that a google search of "geek brothers" responds with the immediacy of 2 negative links (both complaints). I also have no doubt that in the following days he will spin some responsive fabrication of excuses, denying my allegations, while furthering his deceitful ways. PLEASE do not trust this guy and avoid Geek Brothers at all costs.

Like the person above me Matthew personally asked me to come on these boards to share my experience. Matthew is a gentleman. He showed up in the window he gave me. Fixed the problem, and we talked briefly about some personal things. He told me a bit about his business troubles and showed me these complaints. He told me that he isn't afraid of people knowning the truth of his past because he has come a long way. People make mistakes. Mr. Hamiliton, you should be ashamed. You must be a kid to carry on like this. When you try to save money and deal with small business you can expect delays. Give them a break. Got questions? Call me directly, [protected] I'll vouch this this business!

Allow me to give you the defination of slander dumb ###:
Slander -the utterance of "FALSE" charges or misrepresention.
Did you catch the word FALSE?
Everything I have said is word for word from a Hurst Police Report.
It's easy to understand why your an EX-cop!
Of course if you still think its slander, you can always sue the city of Hurst.
They are probably looking for you.
